There are many different kinds of hair regrowth vitamins available in the market today, but do they really work? Manufacturers claim that they do, but be cautious about these claims because there are many bogus hair regrowth products out there. Many people have spent hundreds of dollars on "no-fail hair growth formulas" only to find out in the end that they do not work. This article will guide you in the kind of hair vitamins you should use for hair loss.

What makes hair grow?

Everyone experiences hair loss. On the average, people lose 100 strands of hair everyday. If you think about the amount of stress our hair goes through on a daily basis, you will understand why. All that combing, brushing, washing, and exposure to the elements causes hair to grow weak. Hair that is lost is soon replaced with new ones in a cycle called neomorphogenesis. These new strands grow independently from each other. As old ones fall out, new ones begin to take its place immediately and at different times, therefore preventing intermittent bald spots.

At a certain age, hair follicles may go through the process of allowing its connected hair strand to fall without producing a new one to take its place. It is at this point that the bald spots begin to show and the hairline starts to recede. Age, race, gender, and genetics all play important roles in determining if and when one can go bald.

Hair loss prevention

The female portion of society will be glad to know that hair loss is more pronounced in men than in women. This is due to the presence of the androgen Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in men which tend to kill the hair follicles and prevent production of new hair. Androgens are present in women as well, but the high concentrations of estrogen, the female hormone, in a woman's body protects the hair follicle and prevents it from being killed by the androgens present. It is only after menopause that women begin to experience noticeable hair loss.

Hair vitamins help a lot in making sure you do not lose much of your hair. Make sure that the hair vitamin product you buy has DHT inhibiting agents (DHT-IA's) which prevent the DHT from killing healthy hair follicles. One such agent is saw palmetto. For women, there are specially formulated vitamins that contain DHT-IA's that also maintain the balance of the hormones present in the body naturally.
