Causes of Vitamin Deficiency Related Hair Loss

Unfortunately, the same vitamins and nutrients needed for healthy hair are building blocks for many of our vital organs. When the body is deficient in these vitamins and nutrients, it allocates them first to the vital organs, which means the hair does not receive the proper building blocks for healthy hair.

Vitamin Deficiency Related Hair Loss Frequently Asked Questions

What should I look for in a hair loss supplement?

We recommend you choose a hair loss supplement that doesn’t just address nutrition deficiencies, but also other factors that can cause or aggravate hair loss, such as stress, inflammation, genetics, hormone imbalances, and scalp and follicle health.

Why do you recommend nearly all your patients take a supportive hair loss supplement?

Many of the nutrients and vitamins that are important for the development of hair are also needed for other parts of your body. When you are deficient in these vitamins and nutrients, the body allocates them to your vital organs, and as a result, your hair can suffer.

Which vitamin deficiencies have been linked to hair loss?

A deficiency in B vitamins, vitamins C and D, and minerals such as zinc and iron have been linked to hair loss. Switching up your diet and using supplements (or decreasing others) may slow or reverse hair loss.

What factors contribute to hair loss due to vitamin deficiency?

Hair loss can result from a lack of nutrient-rich foods, along with sudden weight loss, restrictive eating, low-calorie intake, and obesity—all of which may bring on nutritional deficiencies. On the other end of the spectrum, excessive intake of certain minerals and vitamins can disrupt the growth cycle and contribute to hair loss.

How do Tresse Prebiotic, Tresse Revitalizer, and Tresse Fortifier combine to help with hair loss due to vitamin deficiency?

First, our Prebiotic contains a blend of key ingredients specifically formulated to improve gut health and overall health which is critical in growing and maintaining healthy hair. Our Revitalizer supports the healthy metabolism of hair, skin, and nails. And our Fortifier is a follicle enrichment supplement formulated with a blend of botanicals, adaptogens, marine collagen and Saw Palmetto. This is thought to support hair growth and block the conversion of testosterone to DHT, which can contribute to the shrinking process of hair follicles.
