Hey all, I am curious if anyone knows of any supplements/vitamins or foods that promote healthier hair growth. I am growing out my hair but it seems to fall out a bit when it gets to certain lengths and becomes sort of unhealthy. I already take multivitamins, fish oil, protein on occasion, and creatine again now. Anybody know of anything that helps promote healthy, long hair growth?

thanks

You could look into Toco-8 by primordial performance

Nettle root works for me, look for a 95% pure extract. I wish NP would stock it again.

these are a possibility.
was searching for a natural cleaning agent and ran across them...

"Soap Nuts can be used for more than just laundering clothes. They can be used by men and women alike who are suffering from hair loss. Ayurvedic medicine, practiced mainly in India and Sri Lanka, promotes a way of lifeto prevent hair loss, rather than just occasional treatments. Soap Nuts, which are grown in India and Nepal, are used in Ayurvedic medicine, and have been used for centuries to help against hair loss and dandruff. It is crucial though, to treat the whole body instead of just the symptom of hair loss. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, female hair loss, affects some 30 million women in the United States -- with some forms of loss occurring at earlier ages, and being seen in increasing numbers.

Ayurvedic medicine states the following conditions as beneficial for healthy and plentiful hair:
The scalp must be kept cool, so protection from the sun and washing in cold or lukewarm water are paramount.
Balanced diets and proper nutrition are key, so a hair-friendly diet should emphasize proteins, iron, zinc, sulfur, Vitamin C, Vitamin B-Complex and essential fatty acids.
Sesame oil or coconut oil should be applied to the scalp to nourish, lubricate and strengthen the roots, thus improving circulation to the head.


What Causes Hair Loss?
The follicles in hair derive from a protein called keratin. It is normal to lose from 50 to 100 hairs per day, but more than that may be cause for worry. There are many causes of hair loss, and they can be different for men and women.

Genetics: Most genetic hair loss is found in men, but occasionally it is seen in women. This type of hair loss is inherited through the genes of one's mother, causing the hair follicles to stop producing hair much earlier than they should.

Illnesses and Medications: Most endocrine conditions such as lupus, uncontrolled diabetes, Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome and thyroid conditions can cause hair loss due to the stress they put on the body and the imbalance of hormones.

Medications: Certain medications can cause hair loss as a side effect. Birth control pills, lithium (used to treat bi-polar disorder), iostretinoin (used for acne) and of course, chemotherapy drugs can cause major hair loss.

Hair Treatments and Styling: Getting your hair dyed, permed, straightened or highlighted puts stress on the hair shaft and can cause it to break off or fall out temporarily. Wearing your hair pulled back very tightly can also cause permanent baldness around the temples or where there is tension of the hair.

Poor Nutrition: Poor eating habits can also cause hair loss. This is why people with eating disorders often have thin, brittle hair which falls out easily. It is essential to have a balanced diet and get the proper amounts of vitamins, minerals, proteins and fat. When the body is majorly lacking nutrients, the hair will not grow and will look limp and dull.

Disruption of the Hair Growth Cycle: Any major life event, such as childbirth, surgery or trauma, may alter the hair growth cycle.


How Can Soap Nuts Help?
Soap Nuts are a gentle and effective chemical-free cleanser, and as a liquid, can be used as a purifying shampoo. To make the liquid, add 6-8 whole shells to 6cups water, boil and then simmer for 30 minutes. Strain the nuts and pour into an appropriate container. Use this liquid as you would your regular shampoo. Pour a 1:1 solution of vinegar and water in a spray bottle, and use as conditioner. Rinse well and dry as usual. Continue using Soap Nuts as your shampoo and you should see visible results within a few months.
Remember that you should take a complete approach to your health and focus not just on the symptom of hair loss."
