Some people who have certain hair loss issues may be experiencing them due to a medical issue. Women are particularly susceptible to hair loss when it relates to hormonal imbalances, and a doctor may be able to offer some supplements or nutritional solutions to help. Those who have alopecia areata are dealing with an autoimmune disorder that is best monitored by a physician.
Consider Nutritional Supplements
Of course, every medical decision should be made under the advice of a doctor or pharmacist, but those who have hair loss because of hormones or stress may consider that nutritional supplements might help. Some double-blind studies have shown that both biotin (a coenzyme) and zinc (a micronutrient) may be helpful in hair loss. Others advocate for Vitamins B and C, Selenium, Niacin and Iron. Check with a doctor for more information.
