Vitamins for hair growth help supplement nutrients and minerals necessary for healthy, naturally growing hair. Temporary hair loss – “Diffuse” hair loss – is often the result of stress, medications, and hormonal changes – such as pregnancy or menopause, or lack of nutrition. Hair grows through cycles or phases.
The Anagen growth phase is often 3-4 years long. Diffuse hair loss is related to the interruption of this growth phase and either the hair falls out or stops growing. Unfortunately, similar to a plant that goes left unattended without water or fertilization, it slowly withers and dies.
Vitamins for hair growth ensure that the minerals, nutrients and nutrition necessary for healthy hair development and growth are maintained. Formulated especially with amino acids and minerals, supplements are not only good for your hair, but the side effect is stronger, faster growing nails and improved skin tone.
Vitamins – Nutrition for your Hair
Hair is built from proteins that require proper nourishment to maintain health and growth. As the hair moves through its cycle of growth, nutrients often determine the length of that growth phase and the general well being of the follicle – much the same as fertilizing and watering a plant greatly influences its size, yield and health. Without proper nutrition, growth phases of the hair – which are generally 3-4 years can and will be interrupted and shortened.
When the growth phase of a follicle is finished, it begins a resting phase of 2-3 months after which it falls out and a new bulb and root begin life anew.
Without proper nutrition, you can experience premature hair loss, elongated resting phase, and new hair growth can be slowed and new hair generation can be weak, brittle, fragile or slow growing. Proper hair care can help stimulate hair growth and restore natural growing hair.
Restoring healthy hair
Hair growth vitamins are formulated to target the needs of the hair. Amino acids, moisture and hydration and certain vitamins and minerals are needed for the healthiest hair possible given your genetic history – too bad we can’t change some of that!
Assuming vitamins will not alter our genetic make-up, we can conclude through studies, that they do help grow our hair healthier and faster. Many hair vitamins contain some of the following nutrients:
Vitamin B-12
Niacin
Manganese
Biotin
Zinc
Panthonenic Acid
Essential Amino Acids
Arginine
Tyrosine
Cystine
Glutamic Acid
Lysine
…and more
Vitamins for hair growth are formulated to help maintain healthy hair as well as help to ensure normal growth phases. Maintaining a healthy diet and drinking plenty of fluids may not always be the convenient or practical option in our busy lives, but supplementing your diet for hair growth can be your hair’s answer to hair loss, slow growing hair or thicker hair.
Think of it as fertilizing and watering your lawn…the fundamentals are the same. Good luck for a thick lawn, er, hair!

Chemotherapy – Chemo – targets fast growing cancer cells in the body. Unfortunately, treatments generally do not discriminate among cancer and other fast(er) growing cells in our body such as hair and nails. As a result, patients often experience severe hair loss during treatment. Hair growth after Chemo requires proper hair care to help accelerate healthy hair growth.
Common cancer treatments include Chemotherapy, which there are several primary treatments, Radiation Therapy and Hormonal Therapy. All typically affect hair growth, the hair follicle growth cycle or destroy the follicles and their ability to reproduce.
Fortunately hair loss symptoms disappear after treatment and hair growth returns – though not always as expected. My mother for instance, experienced soft, curly hair growth following several chemo treatments for breast cancer – which she won, by the way! Previously her hair was wavy and somewhat coarse.
Generally, the timing and dosage of chemo will have a direct impact on hair loss. The larger the dosage or the more rapidly the treatments, the more severe the loss.
It is common for hair growth to return two to three weeks after treatments end and normal hair growth can be expected to return within a month. Normal hair growth is 4-6 inches per year, so it may take 3-6 months before manageable stylable hair is grown.
For hair growth after chemo, stimulation of the hair follicles, accelerating blood flow and nutrients, and providing proper (and lost nutrition) is essential to restoring healthy hair and hair growth.
We recommend several types of products for hair growth after chemo to promote faster growing hair and to re-grow new hair:
Follicle Stimulators – Follicle Stimulators are topical applications used to promote faster hair growth. Rich in Trichogen and scalp nutrients, follicle stimulators use clinically proven ingredients to promote faster hair growth and invigorate new hair re-growth.
Trichogen, developed and tested in France, is a unique trichogenic complex which make-up the hair growth complex. It consists of a selection of synergistic components of botanical, biotechnological and synthetic origin. This ingredient is composed of many components that when combined together they become Trichogen. It stimulates blood flow, aids in blocking DHT, and has been shown to work in over 88% of tested subjects.
DHT Blockers – Though not a direct hair stimulant, DHT blockers are formulated to block DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) which often is a function of hormonal changes – common in chemotherapy or hormonal therapy. DHT blockers use natural ingredients that help to block the 5 alpha reductase enzyme that must be present for DHT to form.
It is important to note that blocking the enzyme is important, but equally important is adding extreme amounts of vitamins and aminos to your diet. This is because the hair has been mal-nourished and must be jump started. This is why scalp stimulation is also important to re-establish blood supply.
Hair Vitamins – Your body needs nutrition and it is necessary for your hair to grow properly, and hair vitamins help. Amino acids build protein chains in the hair shaft. As your hair grows up and out of the scalp it is reproducing rapidly and making these protein chains. By giving your body more of the amino acids, hair grows faster and healthier.
B Group vitamins get your hair growing faster and minerals form the bonds in the hair. Chemo generally strips vital nutrients, so vitamins, nutrients, minerals, and amino acid compounds help promote healthy hair growth.
Facing chemo hair loss can be difficult and embarrassing – adding to a very difficult life challenge. Proper diet and utilizing hair care products formulated to restore natural hair re-growth can help combat the effects of chemo and restore natural, healthy hair.
