Awesome Vitamin A Restores Hair Color

If you have sparse hair, dandruff problems or your hair does not seem as think the experts are saying that it might be due to a lack of Vitamin A. This is particularly true of women who are still smoking and are younger. Women who are overweight or have insulin resistance also don’t absorb enough Vitamin A and the result of this shows in the texture and the thickness of the hair and also the health of scalp.

Does your hair suddenly seem a bit dry and brittle. Is it losing its color too? Having enough vitamin A in your diet is crucial as it is necessary for the production of sebum, the oily substance that is produced by the sebaceous glands that helps to keep your scalp at the proper moisture levels. It also helps your body produce the compounds it needs to prevent hair from losing its pigment and going gray or white. So before you get out the hair dye consider taking Vitamin A instead.

A surplus of sebum creates a scalp clogged with oil. If you do not have enough then a dry flaking scalp is the result. Both situations indicate an imbalance that could be remedied by taking more Vitamin A. Blocked follicles cause hair to die and an overproduction of sebum due to a lack of vitamins causes issues.

Vitamin A hair supplements are very easy to come by at your local drug store and work most effectively if you can take them it in the ACE form, which means that you are taking Vitamins A, C and E all at once. You can find some formulas that contain biotin and extra iron, which are also helpful for hair that is looking listless for nutritional reasons.

Whenever possible you should try and get your hair vitamins from food and only resort to supplements if you really feel your body is not absorbing the nutrients properly. Foods that are rich in vitamin A include sweet potatoes, carrots, peaches, melon, oranges and mangoes. In fact, any time you feel that you are short on Vitamin A, eat a fruit or vegetable that is colored orange.

The liquid formulas work best because your body absorbs the Vitamin A immediately. Pill forms are less effective as they have binders and fillers that make it hard for someone to absorb the vitamins fully. You can also get a formula that combines A, C and E that increases the effect of all three vitamins.
