Beauty Questions
Question 1 – Clare – I want to grow my hair longer – it’s taking too long – Vita gummy hair growth products – Do they work? or are they a load of rubbish?
There are a number of compounds popularly believed to affect hair growth. These include Protein, Vitamin C, Biotin, Vitamin B12, Zinc, Niacin, Essential fatty acids, iron, Copper, Selenium, Vitamin A and Vitamin D. I mention these because these were the ones mentioned in a review paper. The paper also says that there is no evidence that any of these will affect the hair growth of anyone who is not malnourished. So, unless you have a eating disorder, you are not going to see any benefit from using a supplement to grown hair. The paper specifically calls out that Biotin has not been shown to increase hair growth in people who are healthy.
