Rooted in Results Let’s Get Growing
Hair loss is a symptom. We begin every journey by finding the cause, so your treatment plan isn’t just hopeful—it’s strategic, personalized, and proven to work.
Contact Our TeamWe have all tried different products and supplements to improve the health of our hair, however, we often over look one of the key drivers of hair health, our diet! Any hair healthy diet should include the following: Biotin, Copper, Iron, Zinc, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E. These nutrients and vitamins are important as they all play a crucial role in the production of hair in the body. Being deficient in one or more of these nutrients or vitamins can lead not only to breakage and less volume, but potentially even hair loss.
It is important to understand that your diet will not prevent normal every day loss (remember we shed 50 to 100 hairs a day) or stop progressive hair loss due to genetics, but your diet can still play a significant role in the overall health of your hair. The good thing is that these key nutrients and vitamins can be found in lots of great foods including the list below:
| Biotin | Copper | Iron | Zinc |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oily fish (salmon, tuna) Cheeses Yogurt Avocado Eggs Nuts Seeds Meats (liver) Mushrooms |
Clams Oysters Meats (liver) Dark leafy greens Coffee (decaf) Nuts Beans Avocado Mushrooms Bananas Cocoa powder (unsweetened) |
Meats (red meat, pork, poultry) Beans Dark leafy greens (spinach) Dried fruit (apricots) Iron-fortified breads and pastas |
Seafood (oysters) Meats (beef, lamb) Spinach Mushrooms Beans Seeds (pumpkin, squash) Nuts (cashews) Cocoa powder (unsweetened) |
| Vitamin A | Vitamin C | Vitamin E | |
| Sweet potato Carrots Dark leafy greens (kale, spinach) Squash Melon Dried apricots |
Citrus (fruits in general) | Almonds (nuts in general) Seeds Dark leafy greens Olives Bell peppers Papaya |

If you start to see a decrease in the overall health of your hair it is important to make sure you are receiving the recommended daily values of these key vitamins and nutrients. However, if your hair loss progresses it is important to see a hair loss specialist that can determine the cause and provide you with the necessary treatment plan.
