What are Characteristics That Make up a Perfect Hair Vitamin?
There are many hair vitamins on the market making many claims. For your benefit we have provided for comparison various items to look for in any good hair vitamin. Many Ħs hair vitamins Ħs on the market are nothing but hype and deliver few if any real benefit to your hair.
- Look for the Niacin content. In our opinion any good hair vitamin contains true niacin in a proper dose. True niacin increases blood flow to the surface of the skin. Don not be fooled by Niacinamide. Niacinamide is not niacin. The proper amount of niacin is critical.
This is extremely beneficial to the body, but is not necessary to increase the blood flow to the scalp. Hair Formula 37 uses niacin in a flush freeĦs amount in the correct dose to provide maximum blood flow to the scalp.
- Look for amino acids in the ingredients. There are many expensive hair vitamins with 2mgs of one amino acid and 4mgs of another. Four milligrams of any amino acid does little good. A good amino acid to look for specifically is L-Cystine. It is a sulfur containing amino acid that helps build strength in the hair and helps many chemical services.
- Look for Biotin (200mcgs or more). Biotin is very important for hair health. It is needed for healthy hair and skin, and may even prevent hair loss in some men. Hair vitamins should have at least 200 mcgs in the daily dose.
- Look for Iron (4mgs.). One of the most common causes of hair loss in pre-menopausal women is not hormones, but a nutritional deficiency including depleted iron stores.
- Look for Choline and Insositol in a 4:1 ratio. The body produces its own inositol so a 4:1 ratio is a perfect blend.
There are many other factors that make up a great hair vitamin but the above is a good start.The more you know about chemistry the more we believe you Ħs appreciate the high quality of ingredients we have.
