Vitamins to help hair grow
« on: December 16, 2008, 06:44:49 AM »
Saw this in Dr. Gott's column yesterday:

Q:  I am a woman who suffered w/hair loss.  I was surprised you did not suggest any dietary changes or supplements to help the woman who wrote in about hair loss. 

I first started losing my hair when I was 16.  A neighbor who was a nurse told me to take vitamin B-1 (thiamine).  It worked wonderfully.  Many years later, I started losing my hair again.  I read a book that recommended taking a B complex w/extra biotin, inositol and choline.  I tried it, and this also worked well for me.  About 2 years later, it happened again.  This time I used the same B complex w/extra choline, inositol and biotin as before, but I didn't stop taking it this time.  I now use it every day, and my hair is thicker and healthier than it ever was.  I am 65.

A:  Thank you for writing.  You have offered yet another possible remedy to hair loss.  I have received dozens of letters w/various treatments for hair loss ranging from folic acid to B vitamins to special shampoos.

I have had no experience w/using B complex but have received several letters that recommend it.  I am publishing your letter for my readers who wish to try it.  Please, readers, let me know what has or has not worked for you.
etc.

My hairdresser told me to go out and get Nioxin (because I was loosing my hair due to the radiation  :'().  Anyway, I ended up allergic to it. I had stop using it.  It was giving me tiny blisters on my scalp.   :-\

Nioxin is a shampoo and scalp treatment for those with hair loss.  It was created to help those undergoing chemo.  Bums me out that I am allergic to it.  :-[
:D Weee

I posted the above mainly for you dweetir.  I'm sorry you are allergic to the Nioxin. 

I went to the health food store today and asked about the Vitamin B stuff.  She said something they sell a lot of is Nature's Plus Sustained Release Ultra Hair.  Let me know if you want to try it and can't find it near you :)
