How Does Vitamin D Affect Hair Loss and Hair Growth?

Getting proper vitamins and nutrients is vital to looking and feeling your best. No secret there. But if you’ve ever wondered which vitamins are best for your hair, it’s time to get the details on how vitamin D affects hair loss and hair growth.

What is Vitamin D?

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient in maintaining a healthy feeling body. It supports a sense of optimal immunity, and bone and skin health. It’s why, if you are a woman, your doctor has probably asked whether you are getting enough vitamin D.

It’s also good for your hair. Vitamin D helps to create new hair follicles, which makes hair look thick and full. New hair follicle production can also decrease the appearance of hair fall.

How Vitamin D Deficiency and Hair Loss Affects Your Hair

Research published in Dermatology Online Journal shows that a vitamin D deficiency can lead to hair loss. But does vitamin D help hair growth? 

Vitamin D supports optimal levels of keratinocytes, the primary cell type found in the epidermis of the skin, and vitamin D receptors play an important role in the anagen cycle of hair growth, which is when the hair grows.

So, insufficient levels of this vitamin can affect how thick your hair feels. If you are experiencing severe hair loss, you may want to have your levels tested, as vitamin D deficiency has also been linked to alopecia, as reported in the British Journal of Dermatology.

How to Get Vitamin D for Hair Loss and Hair Growth

The National Institute of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements recommends adults get 600 IU (15 mcg) of vitamin D daily. Certain foods contain vitamin D—fish oil, animal fats, and D fortified milk, juices, and cereals. Sunshine is another way to soak up some vitamin D. Just be sure to keep your unprotected sun exposure to around fifteen minutes.

Supplements are the easiest way to get your daily allotment of D. If you’re looking for a way to add some to your daily regimen to support the look of healthy hair, ST.

I’m used to taking an additional vitamin D supplement, but now that I’m taking these vitamins, I don’t have to! Not only does my hair look thick and shiny, but my body feels good too.
