Diet and Hair Loss
Alopecia is the medical or technical name for hair
loss. Nutritional deficiencies can contribute to increased
hair shedding by weakening hair shafts that cause
breakage to the hair and slow regrowth. Hair problems
that are caused by nutritional deficiencies can be
corrected by a proper diet. Principal nutrients that
are involved include vitamin A, certain B vitamins,
the vitamin biotin, vitamin C, copper, iron, zinc,
protein, and water.
