Question 1

what are the best food and supplements for hair to make it healthy?

Accepted Answer

Biotin, conditioners: Biotin might be helpful along with quality hair conditioners as well as very mild shampoos. see dermatologist for further advice and possible evaluation.

Question 2

am taking vitamin for my hair ( pantogar ) and ( centrum performance ) as a food supplement; is this too much vitamins ?

Accepted Answer

You're fine: There's not a whole lot of science, but some people swear that vitamins improve their hair growth and/or properties. Don't spend too much money.

Question 3

am taking vitamin for my hair ( perfectil) and ( centrum  ) as a food supplement as it makes me feel good..; is this too much vitamins ?

Accepted Answer

Probably not.: One tablet, capsule or spoonful of any vitamin supplement is very unlikely to do any harm to anything except perhaps your bank account.  Healthy people who eat a nutritious, varied diet seldom need supplements.  But, if this makes you feel good, I'd say "No harm, no foul."  Best wishes to you.

Question 4

what to do if i want to reduce belly fat and stop hair fall. which food supplement will be helpful for me?

Accepted Answer

None: There are no "magic" foods, and there are no supplements that will help with either problem, diet and exercise is the only way to help lose belly fat, which will also reduce your level of male hormones and may help reduce hair loss. Make sure thyroid is normal as well.

Question 5

is food supplement of vitamin b1.b2,b3,b6,b12 can increase hair lose?

Accepted Answer

No: B vitamins will not cause hair loss. Masturbation also does not cause baldness. If you are eating a mixed diet you do not need to take the vitamin supplements.

Question 6

trichoton forte,  follihair, keraglo eva... which is the best supplements for hair growth and hair fall?

Accepted Answer

: Minoxidil for women does help.  Reduce stress in your life, plenty of exercise and rest, eat healthy and stay hydrated does help.

Question 7

i am 33 yrs old, asian and contemplating on taking 10000mcg biotin supplements for hair fall !
is this safe for diabetic people  ?

Accepted Answer

Safe and useless: You may take biotin, if you wish, but do not expect it to fix anything. If you are not deficient in biotin and it is extremely unlikely that you are, taking biotin is just throwing your money down the drain with your urine.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 8

what can i eat and use on my hair to make it thicker? also what are the best oils and vitamin supplements for hair?

Accepted Answer

Increase hair growth: Best way to maintain hair growth is to eat a balanced diet with fruits and vegetables at every meal and dry to wash and condition your hair every 5-7 days. Avoid chemicals and heat to your hair. There is some evidence that Biotin can help hair growth. Rogaine (minoxidil) works for some people.

Question 9

what is the recommended dosage of biotin supplements for hair loss?and will it cause my metabolism to slow down if it is already fast?

Accepted Answer

None: There is no recommended dosage; biotin deficiency is extremely rare, and most cases are due to chronic consumption of raw egg whites (due to avidin in them).  I don't think the supplements will necessarily cause harm, but without documented biotin deficiency, i doubt they will do any good, either.

Question 10

good day,

m 52 & been taking thyroxin for >30yrs without any side effects. currently on 250 mcg/day. i noticed hair loss in the past 4-5 weeks. could this be as a result of the switch? can i take supplements for hair loss? or ...?

Accepted Answer

Male?Female?: The information is insufficient to give a reasonable assessment. It might just be coincidental that you develop hair loss at this stage. At your age the possibilities are endless. Please see you doctor for more history taking and evaluation
