Do Hair Growth Pills Work?

Do hair growth pills work? This  is a very common question amongst sufferers of hair loss. Hopefully this article will help you put that question to rest once and for all…

Even though hair loss happens to almost all men and a lot of women, it can still be an embarrassing condition.  Hair loss in men, especially, is often related to aging.  Therefore, you if find yourself going prematurely bald, you will want to take whatever steps you can to regrow your hair.  You may think that it is not possible and that you should just start a good collection of hats.  Well, think again.  There are pills out there specifically designed for hair growth, and they really work.


The majority of hair growth pills work by supplementing the vitamins and minerals already in your system.  Most hair loss comes from a chemical imbalance in your body.  There are rare occasions in which hair loss is brought on by an underlying medical condition or exposure to harsh chemicals, such as in chemotherapy.  Unfortunately, hair growth pills are not equipped to deal with something like that.  However, they work wonders for halting hair loss due to stress, vitamin deficiency, or aging.

Both your hair and your fingernails are indicators of your body’s overall health.  They are created from leftover proteins that your body doesn’t need in its daily functions.  The healthier you are, the faster your hair and nails should grow.  Much of this protein is created from vitamins in the B family; B3, 5, 7, and 12 are especially important for synthesizing the proteins needed for healthy hair growth.

At any given time, 80% of healthy hair is growing and 20% is ready to fall out.  You experience hair loss when that ratio is skewed, generally because of a B vitamin deficiency.  Hair growth pills strive to supplement your missing B vitamin intake.  You can take an overall B vitamin supplement to promote both new growth and prevent hair fall, or you can take certain B vitamins to target specific hair-related problems.  For instance, vitamin B3 helps to keep your existing hair strong and on your head for longer periods.  It does that by increasing your circulation and coaxing your hair follicles to secrete more essential healthy hair oils.  Vitamins B5 and B12 encourage protein synthesis so that there is more protein per hair and each strand is thicker, leading to a fuller head of hair overall.

Do Hair Growth Pills WorkBiotin is one of the most popular hair growth pills in use today.  You can also find it in a topical application, but that isn’t as effective as it is difficult to absorb the vitamin through your scalp.  Biotin is the B7 vitamin, which stimulates your body to absorb more of the glucose and protein in your food.  Glucose is the best source of short term energy and protein, as we know, serves to create more hair, among its many other functions.  A combined uptake in these two substances is proven to promote hair growth in healthy people.

Rather than watch your hair thin day by day, you should go and get some hair growth pills because they really do work!

So to answer the question “do hair growth pills work?” – the answer is a resounding yes.

    Supplementing your diet with vitamins really does work! I found this out first when I was taking prenatal vitamins. They are giant horse pills you choke down when you’re pregnant. These pills made my hair and fingernails grow much faster! I have since moved on to something I love much better…supplementing in liquid form! I find it’s much easier to digest, my kids drink it too, and my hair still grows very fast and thick!
