D The Essential Hair Loss Vitamin

John Tulley

For many years, a lot of people have been dependent on vitamin supplements to keep their body strong and healthy. Oftentimes, the food choices you eat everyday do not provide your body with all the needed vitamins and nutrients, and an excellent way to fill-in this gap is to take certain vitamins. But what if you have hair loss problems? Do you think there is one hair loss vitamin that you can take?

The answer to that question is a yes. There is a hair loss vitamin that you can take and that is 'D'. Hair loss and rickets are the primary symptoms of vitamin D deficiency.

Researchers and scientists have conducted an experiment using mice as their medium. According to the study, vitamin D can indeed help in preventing hair loss and this is supported by the effects of giving the 'D' vitamin to the mice.

If hair loss occurs in young adults, the individual may be suffering from vitamin deficiency, particularly vitamin D. However, some points of the study were not very clear and so the research is still ongoing.

Omega 3 is a factor that affects the biological process of the 'D' vitamin. The modern lifestyle of today usually involves doing mostly indoor activities and so you don't get enough sunlight which is an excellent source of vitamin D. But according to some researches, this is not the main reason. Researchers pointed out the diet lacking of essential fatty acids as one of the major cause vitamin D deficiency. How did this happen?

It's quite simple. You see, your body can produce or manufacture vitamin D on its own. However, it will need essential fatty acids. The fatty acids are the ones responsible for producing cholesterol and at the same time removing its excess. The fatty acids are also needed in the fundamental bodily functions. In order to manufacture vitamin D, the body needs cholesterol. If you don't get enough fatty acids, especially the essential ones, your body can't produce its own 'D' vitamins. This will result to a deficiency. Psoriasis and flaky scalp are some of the effects of this deficiency.

Deficiencies in L-lysine and copper may also result to hair loss as well as deficiencies in zinc and copper. So you see, aside from the vitamin D deficiency, there are other vitamins lacking in the body that can result to hair loss. However, the major vitamin that you definitely need is the 'D' vitamin.

There are various manufactures of vitamin D all over the world. Try to conduct a research and check for the reputable sellers and suppliers. This way, you can ensure yourself that you're using high quality vitamins. Some vitamins are cheaper than others but you see, price is not a very important consideration especially for those who love their hair very much. They will not hesitate to pay for a high quality vitamin even if it's expensive.

The best thing that you can give to yourself is to consult a doctor first. Your doctor will be able to show you your treatment alternatives when it comes to treating hair loss. Remember that hair loss or alopecia cannot be cured, so it is best to prevent it from happening or from getting worse. Take your hair loss vitamin now and regain your hair's health and volume.
