1. Vitamin A
All cells need vitamin A for growth. Sebum moisturizes the scalp and helps keep hair healthy Diets deficient in vitamin A may lead to several problems, including hair loss While it’s important to get enough vitamin A, you don’t want too much. Studies show that too much vitamin A can also contribute to hair loss Cod liver oil is a particularly good source.
Good sources include sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, kale, and some animal foods.
1. Biotin
You can find it in foods like:
Egg yolks
Whole grains
Meat
2. Low levels can cause iron deficiency anemia.
Symptoms include fatigue, pale skin, and hair loss.
Vitamin D
Supplementation with vitamin D may not have direct links with hair growth, but having a deficiency may impact hair health. A 2019 review found evidence to suggest a link between vitamin D deficiency and alopecia areata, which can involve severe hair loss.
Many of the studies in the review found low levels of vitamin D in people with alopecia areata. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition. However, further studies are necessary to confirm this potential link.
Getting enough vitamin D The Office of Dietary Supplements recommend that adults get 600 international units (IU) , or 15 micrograms (mcg), of vitamin D per day. Few foods contain significant amounts of vitamin D, but the following foods are among the best sources: fish, such as salmon or swordfish
mushrooms
egg yolks
fortified orange juice
fortified milk Sun exposure is also essential, as this enables the body to produce vitamin D. People should remember to wear sunscreen , however, as too much sun exposure over time can lead to skin damage. Vitamin D supplements are available for purchase online, but a person should always check with their doctor before taking any vitamins.
That said, vitamin D supplements are relatively safe, and toxicity is extremely rare. Cases of vitamin D toxicity are typically related to inappropriate dosing.

E I say…party pooper?).
If a beauty product or device seems too good to be true—ahem, lookin’ at you, blackhead pore vacuums—I’m the first one to say that it probably is. Buuut that was before I started noticing my hair thinning last year around my part. Suddenly, I, too, was on the bandwagon, adding hair growth vitamins and hair gummies to my Amazon cart in bulk.
At least, that’s what I told myself to keep my party-pooper brain quiet.
