Abstract :

Hair loss is a prevalent issue that can be alleviated by incorporating vitamins and minerals into our diet. Adequate levels of vitamins and minerals are crucial for usual cell development and action. A lack of these nutrients can result in hair loss. It is crucial to have knowledge about the specific vitamins and minerals that can effectively address hair loss, despite the reasonable cost and easy availability of supplements. Two common forms of hair loss are androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium. Insufficient amounts of essential nutrients have the potential to enhance the occurrence of premature graying. Micronutrients play a crucial role in the hair follicle cycle by facilitating cellular turnover, particularly in the rapidly dividing matrix cells of the follicle bulb. The impact of vitamins and minerals on the hair cycle and immune system's defense mechanism, along with the effects of targeted micronutrient supplementation on hair growth, are being studied to determine if there is a link between hair loss and deficiencies in these micronutrients, specifically in individuals with non-scarring alopecia.
