Hair Growth Vitamins

Can hair vitamins really make hair grow longer, stronger and look healthier? They most certainly can! Fact is that, Vitamins in general, are necessary for maintaining a healthy body and good health is vital to hair growth as your hair is a reflection of the overall condition of your body. If your body is properly nourished, it is the ideal environment for healthy hair to thrive. Conversely, if there are any nutritional deficiencies, the result will be hair breakage and thinning.

One of the main reasons for slow hair growth is poor nutrition. The hair follicle becomes dormant when the body is unable to supply the nutrients required for proper hair growth. Taking hair vitamins will provide those nutrients via the blood stream and thus play an integral role in growing healthy hair. Some of these vitamins and minerals include; Biotin (which promotes cell growth and thickens hair strands), Vitamin A (that keeps in moisture), Niacin or Vitamin B3 (that produces blood flow to the hair follicle promoting scalp circulation) and Pantothenic Acid or Vitamin B5 (which stimulates new growth and prevents hair loss).

Hair Vitamins not only promote healthy hair, they also aid in accelerating the rate at which hair grows. Hair normally grows about half inch per month and each hair on your head goes through three phases; the growth phase (or Anagen phase), the resting phase ( or Catagen phase) and the shedding phase (or Telogen phase). An individual's growth or anagen phase is genetically determined and this phase can last from 2 to 6 years before moving through the other phases. For this reason, some people can naturally grow their hair down to their backs while others cannot grow it past their shoulders. Hair Vitamins containing the nutrient MSM has been proven to lengthen the hair active grow phase thus resulting in the ability to grow longer hair. MSM provides the body with the key ingredient required for healthy collagen and keratin, essential building blocks for healthy hair. MSM or Methylsulfonylmethane is a natural form of sulfur found in a variety of raw fruits and green vegetables and without the proper levels of MSM our bodies are unable to build healthy cells. This sulfur, also called nature's 'beauty mineral', is needed to keep hair glossy and smooth. It does this by replacing old, tired cells with strong healthy ones allowing faster and longer hair growth.

Using hair vitamins with the above compounds (MSM, Biotin etc) can definitely boost your hair growth rate by up to 200% giving you about one inch per month. The key, however, to achieve maximum lengths is to use hair vitamins along with a hair care regimen that will eliminate breakage. Hair vitamins will not repair damaged hair or prevent further damage therefore to obtain the full benefit of your vitamins, your hair regimen should be as 'hair friendly' as possible.
