Vitamins For Hair Growth

Hair can play a big role in how you feel about yourself, so hair loss or thinning hair can land a significant blow to your confidence and self-esteem. According to the American Hair Loss Association, male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) accounts for 95 percent of all hair loss cases in men while women make up about forty percent of all hair loss sufferers in the country.¹ While hormones and genetics are often the main factors surrounding hair loss, vitamin deficiencies can also play a role.

Vitamins are important for hair growth, which is why it is important to maintain a well-balanced diet that contains all the essential vitamins and minerals. Vitamins can help support proper hair growth in several ways, like maintaining your hormone levels or fighting oxidative stress.  Unfortunately, it’s sometimes not easy to obtain all the nutrients you need from your food alone. This is particularly true if you are dieting, you are under a lot of stress, or you have recently been ill. If your hair is looking less than its best and your diet has been lacking in nutrient-dense food, it’s time to reach for a multivitamin supplement that can get your hair health back on track.

Multivitamin Gummies for Hair Growth

DrFormulas™ HairOmega® Multivitamin Gummies for Hair Growth provide a proprietary combination of vitamins and minerals specifically designed to support strong hair growth. These citrus and strawberry flavored hair growth gummies taste delicious and are so easy to take that you’ll look forward to taking your daily supplement.

Biotin Gummies

Also known as vitamin H and vitamin B7, biotin is one of eight B vitamins, and it plays an important role in the body’s metabolism. One of its main functions is to convert fats, carbohydrates, and sugars from the food you eat into glucose to give you energy. It also assists in the production of fatty acids, which are vital for the development of cells and tissues.² Like all B vitamins, biotin is water-soluble, meaning your body cannot store it. Biotin flushes out of your body naturally via your urine and sweat, so you have to replenish your body’s biotin amounts every day to maintain good overall health. Biotin and other B-complex vitamins cannot be produced by the human body, so you must obtain them from food or nutritional supplements. Common food sources for biotin include:

• Nuts
• Eggs
• Lean meats
• Legumes
• Whole grains
• Milk

However, for some people, getting enough biotin from food alone can be difficult. Biotin gummies are a great way to ensure you are getting enough of this vitamin in your daily diet. Delicious and practical, each gummy serving contains 5,000mcg of biotin so you can adjust your dosage as needed. These delicious gummy hair vitamins may help to support hair growth, strengthen nails, and improve the look and feel of your skin.

6,000mcg Biotin for Hair Growth

Biotin can improve the health and appearance of hair by strengthening its structure. It is particularly beneficial if your hair is sun damaged, overheated from hair styling tools, or suffering from the harsh chemicals in many hair products. A common symptom of biotin deficiency is hair loss. If you have noticed your hair is thinning, and you are uncertain as to whether you are getting enough biotin from your food, biotin gummies will put your mind at rest. Just take one serving each morning, and you’ll be on your way to a noticeable difference in your hair health and growth.³

What’s in HairOmega® Multivitamin Gummy System with 5000mcg Biotin?

HairOmega® Multivitamin hair growth gummies contain a combination of vitamins that have been studied to work in conjunction to support healthy hair growth.

Biotin

Biotin plays an important role in breaking down amino acids to provide nutrients to skin and support hair and nail growth. Biotin also strengthens hair and nails to help avoid split ends and brittle nails.⁴

DrFormulas™ HairOmega® Biotin Gummies are made from real sugar and are free of artificial flavors, synthetic colors, and preservatives. With their delicious strawberry flavor, taking a nutritional supplement has never tasted better.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is vital for healthy skin, hair, and nails. It keeps the scalp in a healthy condition so that hair follicles can get the nutrients they need. Because it stimulates the production of collagen, vitamin A benefits the structure of the skin and may reduce the effects of aging.⁵

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is one of the most vital nutrients. Although you may know it best for its role in supporting a strong immune system and staving off the common cold, vitamin C also plays a role in the development and maintenance of the body’s tissues and organs. It also helps with the production of collagen, an important protein for skin and hair health.

Collagen is a type of protein found throughout your body. It acts as the building blocks for your skin, nails, joints, tendons, and hair, but you naturally produce less of it as you get older, potentially resulting in wrinkles, joint pains, and hair loss. Vitamin C supports hair and nail health by stimulating the growth of collagen cells.

A vitamin C deficiency can lead to dry, brittle hair, rough skin, and flaking nails. Studies also show that hair loss may result from oxidative stress. Natural oxidization within your body results in the creation of free radicals. Free radicals cause damage to various cells in your body, including those that make up your hair, potentially resulting in decreased hair production. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can fight back against free radicals and oxidative stress, which may help support hair growth.⁶

Because vitamin C is an antioxidant, it also assists with the absorption of iron. Vitamin C helps iron stay in the Fe²⁺ form instead of Fe³⁺ which is required for absorption through the small intestine. Iron is an essential element for red blood cells which carry oxygen throughout the body. Vitamin C helps support circulation by supporting the absorption of iron.

Vitamin E

This fat-soluble vitamin is rich in antioxidants that shield cells from free radical damage. It also plays a role in the formation of red blood cells and the metabolism of vitamin K, which helps blood properly clot and may help to maintain strong bones.⁷ 

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is necessary for maintaining optimal levels of phosphorous and calcium in the bloodstream, allowing for stronger bones. Vitamin D also plays a role in supporting healthy immune system functions. Studies show it may also strengthen existing hair follicles and stimulate the growth of new hair follicles.⁸ It benefits the skin and nails by contributing to cell growth and repair.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 (also known as cobalamin) supports healthy hair growth by helping the formation of red blood cells.⁹ At the base of each hair follicle, the root of each hair strand connects to tiny blood vessels. Red blood cells transport oxygen and nutrients to the living part of the hair strand so that it can sustain healthy growth. 

Folic Acid

Folic acid is a water-soluble B vitamin and a form of vitamin B9 next to folate. It plays a role in the healthy growth of all tissues, including skin, hair, and nails, and is vital to the creation of red blood cells. It is also involved in the production of DNA. Folic acid is a key ingredient in the production of nucleic acid, which forms a part of all genetic material. This contributes to the repair and synthesis of DNA and RNA.¹⁰ Folic acid deficiency has been linked to thinning hair. 

Zinc

Zinc is a trace mineral that assists with many bodily processes, including the production and maintenance of cells and tissues, balancing hormone levels, the synthesis of proteins, and the metabolism of other vitamins. Studies show that zinc is used in the human body to activate T lymphocytes, or T cells. T cells help to control and regulate immune responses while attacking infections and promoting healthy cell division. Zinc also plays a role in maintaining the structure and integrity of your skin and may support the healing of wounds. Some studies also suggest that zinc may help to prevent acne and support healthier skin.¹¹ Zinc deficiency can cause hair loss, eye problems, and skin conditions.¹² Zinc supports hair growth by promoting the health of hair follicles. Studies show it may also stimulate re-growth of hair in some cases of alopecia.¹³
