Many of the hair growth products on the market today advertise results that focus on looks – shinny hair; smooth hair; thick hair, etc. But if you think about it, hair grows from the roots, so we need to nourish the roots in order to encourage real hair growth.
Because hair is a part of the human body, it responds in similar ways to everything else that affects human health. And we all know that we have to have a proper balance of vitamins to be in top health. The matter of your hair growth is no different. Therefore, you should know which vitamins are particularly beneficial to hair growth and then look for hair growth products that include these vitamins.
First it is important to note that if you take a general vitamin supplement you may not be getting the precise vitamins needed for healthy hair growth. More than anything, you need vitamins that will garget the root and bulb of the hair.
All of the following vitamins are necessary for healthy hair growth:
Biotin
A member of the family of B vitamins, Biotin helps produce keratin which can help prevent hair loss.
Vitamins B12 and B5
These vitamins both help the body to prevent hair loss.
Vitamin B6
In addition to working to prevent hair loss, Vitamin B6 also helps produce melanin, one of the sources of healthy hair color.
Vitamin B3
B3 will help promote the circulation of the scalp which in turn helps ensure a healthy flow of blood to the scalp and hair follicles.
Vitamin A:
This vitamin is especially good for the surface of the scalp to make it strong, durable and healthy.
Vitamin E
An antioxidant, this vitamin also helps promote circulation of the scalp.
In addition to these vitamins, minerals are also important components in hair growth products. Look for the following minerals in any hair growth product you are considering using: Inositol (good for hair cells); Calcium (boosts hair growth); Chromium (prevents hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia); Copper (aids in hair color and structure); Iodine (prevents dryness); Iron (helps prevent hair loss); Magensium (promotes healthy growth of hair); Potassium (also promotes healthy growth of hair); Selenium (keeps the scalp supple); Silica (strengthens individual hairs); and Sulfur (builds and strengthens hair structure).

You may not find a product that has all of them, but look for hair growth products that include at least several of these vitamins and minerals.
