Baldness is a very common problem for men. And when we see a man with a bald head before 30, the reason may not even be heredity. The reason may be a lack of vitamins in the man's diet. More about this on our portal.

Causes of baldness and vitamins

The cause of baldness may be a deficiency in a man's diet of the main vitamin responsible for hair growth and strength - vitamin H. Simply put, this is a vitamin that controls the supply of sulfur to the body and promotes its good absorption.

Sulfur in the body is responsible and controls the condition of hair, nails, skin in general. In addition, sulfur is responsible for fat metabolism in the body - in collaboration with vitamin H. Therefore, there should be enough fat in a man's diet - you should not sit on carbohydrate diets without fatty foods in the menu.

How to determine a lack of vitamin H in a man’s diet?

First of all, it is important to determine the condition of your hair. If you see that it quickly becomes greasy, the reason may be a lack of vitamin H.

This means that the scalp, feeling a deficiency of vitamin H, begins to secrete more fat than it should, and because of this, the hair becomes unsightly, greasy, and needs to be washed constantly to ensure a decent appearance.

In addition, due to a lack of vitamin H, hair begins to fall out: at first little by little, and then more and more often.

Vitamin H can be taken from the following products. These products can be beef, eggs, yeast, mushrooms, cabbage, spinach, dairy products, hard cheeses, fermented milk products.

Vitamin A against male baldness

Vitamin A is fat-soluble, so it is absorbed together with fats. Men should not exclude fats from their diet, otherwise they risk hair loss.

The role of vitamin A in ensuring healthy hair is very significant. If this vitamin is not enough in a man's diet, he suffers from dandruff in the hair, too greasy hair, increased oiliness, early hair loss. In addition, vitamin A deficiency can cause increased peeling of the skin and its redness.

Vitamin A, if there is enough of it, increases the rate of hair growth, makes it stronger, and prevents early hair loss in men.

Where can a man get vitamin A?

A man's diet for healthy hair must include dairy products: sour cream, milk, cheeses, and other products - fish, meat, liver, eggs.

Vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin A – pumpkin, carrots, bell peppers, spinach, green leafy salads, rowan berries, rose hips.

And also, of course, butter.

Note for men: Vitamin A works better when combined with vitamin E.

What foods contain the daily requirement of vitamin A?

  • Carrots – 60 grams
  • Pork liver – 10 grams
  • Fish oil – 4 grams
  • Apricots – 400 grams

Male Pattern Baldness and Vitamin B

Doctors call these vitamins beauty vitamins. Vitamins of group B, in particular vitamin B1, or aneurin, are responsible for the condition of hair and nails. If a man's body lacks vitamin B1, he may begin to go bald quickly and early. Hair gradually weakens, becomes dull, and breaks.

To avoid this, men need to include eggs, seafood, milk and dairy products, yeast, fish, and peanuts in their diet.

It should be known that in stressful situations, illnesses, and after surgical interventions, men need an increased dose of vitamin B1.

Sources of the average daily intake of vitamin B1

  • Yeast - 80 grams
  • Sprouted wheat - 5 tablespoons
  • Cauliflower - 1.5 kilograms
  • Corn grits – 200 grams

Men, take vitamin complexes in the right doses, consulting with your doctor, and let your hair be healthy and shiny.
