Unlocking the secret to luxurious locks from root to tip: The Power of nutrients for hair health!

People are constantly asking me about my hair regimen. And I admit to doing a lot on this front from exercise, red light caps to stimulate follicles, moisturizing hair masks and shampoos with ketoconazole to prevent DHT related hair loss. However, what many people overlook is that the key to truly healthy and vibrant hair lies not only in external treatments but also in nourishing our bodies from within. Essential nutrients play a vital role in promoting hair growth, strength, and overall health.

That’s why the team at Alaya Naturals researched the top nutrients to help prevent thinning, greying, and stunted growth. Let's delve into the world of these hair-nourishing nutrients and explore their benefits.
 
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)
Riboflavin is essential for maintaining healthy hair follicles and promoting hair growth. It aids in the production of red blood cells, which carry oxygen and nutrients to the scalp and hair follicles, promoting healthy circulation.

Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 plays a crucial role in the production of melanin, the pigment that gives hair its color. It also helps in the metabolism of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins essential for hair strength and growth.

Folate (as Folic acid)
Folate, or vitamin B9, is necessary for cell division and tissue growth, including the cells in hair follicles. Adequate folate levels promote healthy hair growth and prevent premature graying.

Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is essential for the formation of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the scalp and hair follicles. It helps in the metabolism of amino acids and promotes healthy hair growth.

Biotin
Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is perhaps one of the most well-known nutrients for hair health. It supports the production of keratin, a protein that makes up the structure of hair, promoting strength and elasticity.

Iron
Iron deficiency can lead to hair loss and dull, brittle hair. Iron is essential for the proper oxygenation of cells, including those in the scalp and hair follicles, promoting healthy hair growth.

Selenium
Selenium is an antioxidant that helps protect hair follicles from damage caused by free radicals. It also plays a role in maintaining a healthy scalp and promoting hair growth.

Copper
Copper is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for hair color. It also helps in the formation of collagen, which provides structure to hair strands.

Saw Palmetto Fruit Extract
Saw palmetto may help block the enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone associated with hair loss. By inhibiting DHT production, saw palmetto extract may help prevent hair thinning and promote hair growth.

Keratin
Keratin is a protein that serves as the building block of hair. Supplementing with keratin can help strengthen hair strands, reduce breakage, and improve overall hair health.

L-Lysine Hydrochloride
L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that plays a role in the synthesis of collagen, a protein that supports hair structure. It also helps in the absorption of iron, another crucial nutrient for healthy hair.

Pea Seed Extract
Pea seed extract contains antioxidants and proteins that nourish the scalp and hair follicles, promoting healthy hair growth and reducing inflammation.

Pumpkin Seed
Pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc, a mineral that supports hair growth and strengthens hair follicles. They also contain antioxidants that help protect hair follicles from damage.

Horsetail Whole Herb
Horsetail is rich in silica, a mineral that helps strengthen hair strands and promote hair growth. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe the scalp and reduce irritation.
Para-Aminobenzoic Acid (PABA)
PABA is a B-complex vitamin that helps protect hair follicles from UV radiation and oxidative stress. It also supports the production of melanin, helping maintain hair color.

L-Methionine
L-Methionine is an essential amino acid that supports the production of keratin and collagen, essential proteins for healthy hair growth and strength.

Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid helps retain moisture in the scalp and hair, preventing dryness and promoting a healthy environment for hair growth.

L-Tyrosine
L-Tyrosine is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment that gives hair its color. It also supports the production of thyroid hormones, which play a role in hair growth and maintenance.

L-Cysteine Hydrochloride
L-Cysteine is an amino acid that is a component of keratin, the protein that makes up the structure of hair. Supplementing with L-Cysteine can help strengthen hair strands and improve hair texture.

Incorporating these nutrients into your diet or supplement regimen can help support healthy hair growth, strength, and vitality from the inside out.
