HOW EFFECTIVE ARE HAIR LOSS SUPPLEMENTS?

 

Every time we check on our social media or talk to a beauty “expert”, we always hear about little hair gummies, hair supplements and other vitamins that talk about hair transplant in kolkata and hair growth. All of us are way too interested in these alluring advertisements, that we often forget to know if these supplements really work or not. Starting with the root of the cause, hair loss can happen due to various factors.

While a certain amount of hair fall is considered natural, severe hair loss can result in bald patches. The several reasons for severe hair loss can be deficiency of beneficial vitamins and nutrients in the body, excessive stress and a lot of chemical usage can also cause hair loss. While there is and cannot be a solid yes or no answer to whether hair loss supplements are helpful in any way, there are a lot of negative facts when we talk about hair loss supplements which one should not ignore.

Below are some side effects of hair loss supplements as stated by experts around the world?

1)     Most of the hair loss supplements are actually only backed up by the brand itself and not by any government authorised organisation or government approved data. There is no proper research and hence, we see a wide variety of hair supplements in the market that are alluring yet shady. This is the biggest reason why most of the dermatoligists agree that hair loss supplements are not very impressive and trustable.

 

2)     Most of the vitamins we need for healthy hair are already present if we have a proper nutritional diet and lifestyle, these extra vitamins we take are just unnecessary until we have been tested with some deficiency.

 

3)     These hair supplements are supposed to make your hair healthy, soft and luscious while the fact is that these supplements are not FDA regulated and hence, the brands that create them can add any ingredient in them. The essential components of these hair supplements are Biotin, Vitamin A,C,D,E and Folic Acid; however these supplements do not have a definite set of components and can go on adding anything they want to test or experiment with.

 

4)     Many times people consuming hair loss supplements face skin related problems like zits or rashes, excessive Biotin can also lead to depression and hallucinations in extreme cases so just trying any hair supplement you see in the market can cause more harm to you than any good.

 

SHOULD WE NEVER TAKE ANY HAIR LOSS SUPPLEMENTS?

Hair loss supplements can work in cases where one is certain about a vitamin deficiency as in many cases low vitamin D levels can hinder hair growth. Consuming hair supplements in a limited manner only by an expert hair doctor in kolkata is advisable. Always check with your trusted doctor before consuming anything. Supplements try to work on the oil glands present in your hair, trying to control or generate more oil to make your hair more shiny; however there is no surity if these supplements will actually make your hair grow.

In many cases, people double up the hair loss supplement intake to make their hair grow faster, which is truly one of the most dangerous things you can do to your body. In conclusion, hair supplements are not a necessary ritual that you need to include for better hair health, it is recommended only in cases of extreme nutritional deficiency.
