Do you have problems with hair loss? Here is the vitamin that strengthens them and the foods that contain it

Hair loss is related to many factors such as heredity and hormonal status.

Therefore, it is not possible to exclusively propose a solution or method for hair strengthening, since the factors of their weakening are many and different.

However, if we want to focus exclusively on nutrition, we must point out that it has been observed that hair loss is associated with a lack of biotin. Biotin, also known as vitamin H (H stands for Haar und Haut, which means “ hair and skin" in German), is a water-soluble B vitamin.

It is used in many metabolic processes, both in humans and in other organisms, which are related to the use of fats, carbohydrates and amino acids and is involved in the synthesis of proteins.

Biotin deficiency can be caused by insufficient intake through diet or heredity, through genetic disorders related to biotin metabolism.

Subclinical deficiency can cause mild symptoms such as thinning hair, brittle nails or skin rashes, usually on the face.

In the past, the use of shampoos and gels enriched with biotin was recommended. But then, getting biotin from food was preferred.

Foods rich in biotin are nuts, dairy products and egg yolk.
