Do Hair Vitamins Actually Work?

The vitamin industry is predicted to become over a $300 billion company by 2024. It is in our nature to find a quick fix for beauty, health and appearance. However, the vitamin and supplement industry is not tightly regulated by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).

There is no evidence that Biotin actually helps your hair grow or improve beauty. Vitamin companies do not have to prove what their product contains or what it actually does. So we are basically just taking their word for it.

It is very uncommon to have a deficiency of biotin. You get the nutrients of biotin from everyday foods you eat. Eggs, salmon, almonds, sweet potatoes, sunflower seeds, and pork are just a few foods that naturally contain biotin.

If you find you are having trouble with your hair, it could be a more serious problem and taking Biotin can actually interfere with certain medical tests. Over or under active thyroid and anemia can both cause hair loss. Also, certain medications, too many antibiotics and anesthesia can have negative effects on your hair as well.

For healthy beautiful hair, focus on a well balanced diet and stay active. Your hair starts from within, so maintaining good health is one of the main ways to achieve it.
