Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): It prevents hair loss and helps in the conversion of amino acid into niacin. It also promotes the production of melanin in the body. Melanin bestows colour to the hair. Sources of this vitamin are chicken, pork, oatmeal, avocado, brewer’s yeast, liver and sunflower seeds.

Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin): It prevents hair loss. The food sources include chicken, fish, eggs and milk.

Vitamin B7 (Biotin): This is a key vitamin required for hair growth. It supports the body’s natural hair production process. It not only supports the growth of new hair, but is also required for the overall health of the skin and nails. It promotes cell development by utilising other vitamins in the body to prevent hair loss and premature graying of hair. It is present in brewer’s yeast, whole grains, egg yolks, liver, rice and milk. Biotin deficiency can cause itchy and scaly scalp.
