A member asked:

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

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

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.

Hair loss: B vitamins are good for hair. So is zinc. It is not likely your vitamins cause hair loss.
