Vitamins deficiency symptoms
Vitamins B complex are essential for proper hair growth. A deficiency of the B-vitamins biotin and PABA can cause hair loss. Supplements of biotin may strengthen hair, stimulate new hair growth, slow hair loss, and prevent greying, particularly in those who are defi cient in this nutrient. PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) may protect hair roots and help prevent hair loss. It can also reverse greying in cases where the cause is a defi ciency of PABA or other B-vitamins.
