8 Natural Solutions For Hair Loss
The Role Magnesium Plays In Hair Loss
Magnesium: a magnesium deficiency gives calcium the freedom to run wild. The calcium deposits around the hair follicle and causes hair loss. Check out our 30-Day Instagram magnesium tips HERE!
Kristen Recommends - avocado, pumpkin seeds, and beans.
The Role Vitamin D Plays In Hair Loss
Vitamin D: is an important micronutrient for your hair because it stimulates new hair follicle growth. The best place to get vitamin D is from sunshine. My favorite whole food source for this is cod liver oil. Did you know that synthetic vitamin D does not utilize the cholesterol in your body, meaning you skip a step and leave the cholesterol without being converted to vitamin D?
Kristen Recommends - salmon and egg yolks.
The Role Vitamin A Plays In Hair Loss
Vitamin A: cod liver for the win again. Vitamin A needs to be balanced with vitamin D and helps keep your liver healthy. The most important role vitamin A plays in your hair is keeping your scalp moisturized.
Kristen Recommends - broccoli, sweet potatoes, carrots, and pumpkin seeds.
The Role Iron Plays In Hair Loss
Iron: helps your hair to grow as it boosts circulation and carries oxygen to the root, helping it grow faster and longer.
Kristen Recommends - eggs, liver, broccoli, pumpkin seeds, and oysters
Ferritin: is a type of protein found in your blood that stores iron. When your body gets low in ferritin, it will take that ferritin from your hair, leaving it weak.
Kristen Recommends - green leafy vegetables, beans, pumpkin seed, and 85% or more dark chocolate.
The Role Vitamin C Plays In Hair Loss
Vitamin C: helps you absorb your iron more efficiently. Supplements made from High Fructose Corn Syrup actually rob your body of ferritin. vitamin C from a whole food source like Acerola Cherry Powder will give you the vitamin C boost needed for hair growth.
Kristen Recommends: brussels sprouts, strawberries, kiwi, and grapefruit.
The Role B12 Plays In Hair Loss
B12: is needed to carry oxygen to your hair follicle. Remember, B12 is depleted every time you experience stress and/or eat sugar. Desiccated liver is a whole food source of B12.
Kristen Recommends - eggs, salmon, clams, and nutritional yeast.
The Role Zinc Plays In Hair Loss
Zinc: is essential in keeping the oil glands around your hair follicle working. If your hair is really dry or oily, we can look at zinc for solutions.
Kristen Recommends - beans, nuts, seeds, and oysters.
