Deficiency Vitamin D Caused Hair Loss

Vitamin D and Skin of Hair Loss

About 100 hairs fall out every day, and this is normal. Hair loss is referred to only fail if significantly more than 100 hairs a day. Hair loss is often a result of poor nutrition and mineral deficiencies. Also stress leading to increased consumption of vitamins especially the B complex is found frequently as a cause of hair loss and especially diffuse hair loss (alopecia diffusa).

There are three types of hair loss:

diffuse hair loss (alopecia diffusa)

conditioning hair loss (alopecia androgenetic)

circular hair loss (alopecia areata).

In addition, there may be mostly locally eingegrenztem hair loss due to inflammatory scalp disorders.

In the nutritional support mainly these micronutrients have emerged as the hair growth-promoting:

Millet seed extract, pantothenic acid (B5),  and L-cysteine ,Biotin, Vitamin E, Iron (iron deficiency have over 75% of 14-50! The young women),  best along with vitamin C, Zinc, Grape seed extract.

Hair loss and biotin

Biotin (also sometimes known as vitamin H) is a water-soluble vitamin and is involved in a variety of metabolic processes. So biotin is this needed from non-sugars (eg, amino acids) make the usable energy for the body in the form of glucose.

Central importance of biotin for the amino acid metabolism.

Biotin deficiency can occur due to the following factors:

Biotin deficiency leads very quickly to hair loss, but also to increased skin peeling and dry skin, muscle pain, exhaustion and fatigue. Biotin is needed in particular in L-cysteine ​​metabolism, which is central to the hair structure.

Hair loss caused by lack of trace elements

Also relatively common hair loss is determined as a result of deficiency of the trace elements iron, zinc, copper and selenium. Each of the trace elements results in deprivation and already slight drawbacks to affect hair growth and hair loss.

Zinc and zinc deficiency

Zinc plays an essential role in the metabolism of L-cysteine. L-cysteine ​​is the most important for the development of the hair keratin amino acid.

Zinc deficiency (found in 17% -44% of the population, see National Nutrition Survey Part 2, 2008) often leads to thin hair, the hair is also colorless and brittle. The nails are affected by zinc deficiency and may have white spots. Manifests of zinc deficiency, it is associated with hair loss.

Hair loss, therefore, a zinc dietary supplement is recommended by at least 10 mg. This should be combined with the use of biotin and other B vitamins.  Zinc Phyrition is known for external application (shampoo, hair tonic) against dandruff.

Iron

Iron is the body in terms of quantity most occur dividend trace element. Its role is to transport oxygen and electrons. Iron is also involved in various enzyme processes and in energy production.

Iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient deficiency disease worldwide. For Germany, it was found that not take more than three-quarters of women aged 14 to 50 years enough iron to itself!

Other factors that are involved in the development of iron deficiency are:

Medicines (inter alia the pill)

vegetarian diet

Coffee consumption, high consumption of soft drinks

Blood donations

Increased demand by menstrual bleeding, lactation and pregnancy

Copper deficiency

While speaking at an iron content in the blood of less than 20 micrograms per liter only of anemia (iron poverty), hair loss is detected in consequence of a low iron levels at just 40 micrograms per liter of iron in the blood. So the hair growth is very sensitive to limitations in the availability of iron.

Iron deficiency demonstrate results of a study of more than 20,000 German citizens over three quarters of young women:

iron deficiency, according to the National Nutrition Survey II (2008)

Population reference value (mg per day) Persons below the reference value in%

Women 19-24 years 15 mg 83.1%

Women 25 - 34 years 15 mg 77.9%

Female 35 - 50 years 15 mg 75.4%

Women 51 to 64 Years 10 mg 24.2%

Women 65 to 80 Years 10 mg, 36.5%

Men 19-24 years 10 mg 16.5%

Men 25 - 34 years 10 mg 11.2%

Men 35 - 50 years 10 mg 10.8%

Men 51-64 years 10 mg 13.1%

65 for men - 80 years 10 mg 17.8%

Supply of iron according to the National Nutrition Survey II (2008), Final Report Page 261, Tab. A50

Pregnant women with heavy menstrual bleeding, athletes and vegetarians should therefore consider especially taking extra iron into account when they determine hair loss. In these times of strong iron requirement, it makes sense duchaus, take preventive iron and not to wait until the first manifestation of hair loss.  Iron should be used in combination with copper. Vitamin C enhances iron absorption.

Extract of millet, pantothenic acid and L-cysteine

Millet seeds contain a particularly large number of silicon shares, as well as other trace elements. These are just as important for hair growth, such as vitamin B5 and the amino acid L-cysteine. In a German study the effect of millet seed extract together with pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and the hair module L-cysteine ​​in young Frauem was examined with hair loss.

After three months, the number of hairs that are in various stages of hair growth can be significantly increased. The study (known as Priorin® study) was conducted placebo-controlled and assessed as significant.

In another study, the Aachen University has been demonstrated that the combination of L-cysteine, pantothenic acid and millet extract increases cell proliferation of keratinocytes. Probably the most effective part of the millet seed extract is the miliacin, a phytoestrogen. Keratinocytes are responsible for the generation of keratin, and thus the hair growth. This effect make hair loss such as Priorin® advantage.

Vitamin E

About half of the German population does not get enough vitamin E on. [National Nutrition Survey II, 2008]. In a study of high-dose vitamin E, a 20% average increase in hair density after eight months was found, some participants in the study had 42% more hair density. The study has not yet been published patent law.

What hair loss help

Hair loss, therefore, a daily intake of :

Zinc (at least 10 mg daily), Iron (at least 10 mg daily), Copper (at least 1,000 micrograms daily)

Selenium

L-cysteine ​​(at least 100 mg daily)

L-methionine (at least 100 mg daily)

Recommended:

Brewer's yeast

A beneficial effect of brewer's yeast on hair growth appears plausible, but there are no adequate studies able to.

By taking zinc in conjunction with B-vitamins and amino acids of the hair loss could also be effectively reduced in various studies. The application period is always at least 3 months before results are seen. In principle, the intake is recommended but in the long run.

Different hair supplements

The market for hair supplements is large and complex. Three recommendable products from the pharmacy are:

Priorin® Hair Capsules: Combination of millet seed extract, L-cysteine ​​and pantothenic acid. Efficacy was shown (see above), very well known, from about 30 euro per month.

Inneov® hair fullness: Based on grape seed extract and zinc. Should have proven efficacy studies, but the studies are not available. From about 30 euro per month.

amitamin® Hair Plus: contains in addition to the active compounds from Priorin® (millet, cysteine, pantothenic acid) and Inneov® hair body (including zinc, grape seed extract) and iron and biotin. Little advertising, so probably already at 20 euro per month.
