A member asked:
Can hair thinning occur from dietary deficencies? if so, which nutrients/vitamins/foods are most important and helpful for hair growth and health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair: Yes and also from other metabolic disorders like thyroid disease. See your md and perhaps and endocrinologist to be sure it is not related to something other than diet. If it is diet, get off of junk food, eat healthy and take a multivit/see a nutritionist after a blood workup to see what is lacking. Good luck.
