Vitamins for hair, a good idea

A good idea

• Vitamins are important functional substances of cell metabolism on the hair root.
• Without vitamins, the hair follicles find it difficult to grow hair.
• We regularly absorb vitamins through food.
• No vitamin, but indispensable for healthy hair growth: thiocyanate.

In order for hair to grow, the hair follicles need enough nutrients: proteins in the form of amino acids for building hair. Glucose as an energy supplier for cell metabolism on the hair root. And vitamins to control the utilization of carbohydrates, proteins and minerals. Vitamins also regulate the provision of the energy required. Vitamins for the hair are therefore important functional substances for healthy hair growth - just like Thiocyanate.

Vitamins for the hair: these are the most important

Vitamins are of great importance in many metabolic processes. If vitaminem is missing, there is, for example, fatigue, headache or inflammation. Without certain vitamins, the hair follicles find it difficult to maintain cell division and cell growth, not least to form strong hair. And the likelihood of hair loss increases. Since our organism itself cannot produce vitamins, the supply of vitamins must take place via daily diet. Some examples: 

Vitamin C

The best known vitamin is certainly vitamin C. Its effect is known as antioxidants. Vitamin C is also indispensable for the biosynthesis of collagen. Collagen, in turn, is the most important structural protein of the skin, including the scalp in which the hair follicles are located: collagen helps the skin to store moisture. The healthy and well -blooded scalp is one of the decisive prerequisites for continuous hair growth and Healthy hair. Classic suppliers of vitamin C are citrus fruits such as oranges, as well as vegetables such as cabbage or paprika, especially sea buckthorn.

Vitamin B₇

Vitamin B₇ Or biotin plays an important role in the protein metabolism for the production of hair ceratinous and supports glucose formation to supply the hair follicle with energy for hair production. Sprinting hair is a typical symptom for biotin deficiency, but is rather unlikely, since biotin is contained in many foods, such as baking yellow, egg yolk, soy, oatmeal, walnuts, mushrooms, fish, spinach or bananas. Adults who eat a balanced diet cover their need for biotin well through daily food.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E promotes the formation of blood vessels on the hair follicles and thus the supply of hair roots with nutrients. Sources for vitamin E are vegetable oils. Butter, nuts and seeds also contain vitamin E.

Vitamin F

All essential fatty acids are summarized under the name Vitamin F. Vitamin F is important for the metabolism of the mitochondria, the power plants of the cell. If vitamin F is missing, this has a negative impact on cellular energy supply. In addition to enzymatic changes in the scalp, diffuse hair loss can also occur.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is jointly responsible for the cell division on the hair roots. It is the only vitamin in which the supply is mainly not done through nutrition. The body itself produces vitamin D with the help of sunlight. A lack of vitamin D or sunlight also leads to disorders in hair formation. From the age of 70, skin's ability to vitamin D synthesis has reduced so far that hair can be canceled early. 

Minerals and hair growth

If the organism lacks minerals trace elements such as iron or zinc, there are also disorders of cell metabolism on the hair root.

On too little oxygen binding iron In the blood, the organism typically reacts with an increase in heart rate, so that blood circulates faster in the bloodstream. Fatigue, breathing difficulties and headaches are the symptoms of a lack of iron. If the organism lacks oxygen, the cell division on the hair root also stalls. The hair turns into the resting phase from the growth phase. The Hair cycle shortens, the hair falls out.

Hair also need zinc, because it is elementary for growth and renewal of the hair cells. Without zinc, they cannot share quickly enough. Since the organism cannot store zinc, it always needs supplement. Animal foods contain a lot more zinc than vegetable. The body can absorb the zinc worse from fruit and vegetables. Fish and red meat are good zinc suppliers.

As valuable as vitamins: thiocyanate

Because of its vitamin -like effects, you can Thiocyanate als Vitaminoid einordnen. In contrast to vitamins, it can be formed to a certain extent of the amount required by the organism itself. After all, three enzymes are available.

The structure of the Thiocyanate molecule is scn = sulfur, carbon, nitrogen - and therefore so simple that Thiocyanate has been more or less ignored by biology for a long time. Thiocyanate is a multi-talent: In the human organism, it has an anti-inflammatory and cell-stable effect on the cell by neutralizing oxygen-radicals. Cell formation is actively promoted and the hair roots stimulated to form new hair.

About two thirds of the THIOCYANAT quantities present in the organism are formed by the body itself. Two enzymes are responsible for this; The liver cells in particular produce Thiocyanate. A good third of the Thiocyanate are recorded through nutrition, especially through dairy products and vegetarian food, especially cabbage species, for example broccoli, but also cashew nuts.

As a result of modern hygiene standards, valuable Thiocyanate is regularly washed out of the hair and the scalp. If the hair follicles are missing Thiocyanate, it can be supplemented from the outside. The patented Thiocyanate activity in Thiocyn hair serum strengthens the hair roots and protects them against growth-disturbing influences. Applied 1 x daily, thiocyn hair serum can stop the hair loss* and stimulate hair growth.

Find vitamin deficiency

Vitamins affect both quality and growth duration of the hair. If the hair follicles are missing, energy or vitamins are missing, experience has shown that the hair grows more slowly. Or the growth phase within the hair cycle is canceled early and hair loss occurs.

Hair loss due to vitamin deficiency is rather unlikely with regard to the offer of food in Germany, but always in the area of ​​the possible, with one -sided nutrition, absorption disorders, in the event of pregnancy or certain diseases.

Doctors differentiate between a slight deficiency in vitamin (hypovitaminosis) and a severe lack of vitamin (avitaminosis). A blood test to the doctor can determine individual vitamins and a lack of vitamin can be detected.
