I never took it too seriously when people told me their hair was falling out until it happened to me. I would tell them to try taking a multi vitamin and a hair vitamin and it would stop and they would eventually even see their hair grow back. When hormonal changes and stress started making my hair fall out I was shocked. I noticed a pretty large bald spot begin to develop on the left front of my head. It looked like a serious case of male pattern baldness only I wasn’t a male. After month’s of denial and the eventual attempts at a comb over I decided it was time to make some changes.
First I did some additional research. I knew that Biotin, one of the B Vitamins, was essential for metabolizing protein, carbohydrates and fats but it was also necessary for the prevention of hair loss and for maintaining healthy hair and soft skin. I remembered that Vitamin C along with copper and zinc were essential for the synthesis and repair of collagen also important for healthy, strong, hair and skin.
I found out the the amino acid L-Cysteine, an effective antioxidant and detoxing amino acid, had an active form (metabolite) called cystine and 41% of that metabolite was found in the hair and skin. As we age, our body may become less effective at manufacturing L-Cysteine which is a non-essential amino acid meaning our bodies make it internally. L-Cysteine along with MSM (a source of sulfur which occurs naturally in protein) and methionine another amino acid all contribute to strengthening and stabilizing the underlying structure of hair, skin, nails and other body tissues.
So armed with my Multi Vitamin I started taking the Hair by Viva Vitamins and within about 4 weeks I started to notice new hair growth filling in the bald spot. I am still working on it but it has definitely made a big difference. I no longer am losing my hair in clumps and I no longer have to do a comb over. The draw back? My hair is growing so fast I need to cut it more often. I guess that is something I can learn to live with.
