CAN NUTRITION SAVE YOUR HAIR?

Hereditary baldness caused by an overreaction to male hormones – androgenetic alopecia – is very common in Europe. The BfRshort forGerman Federal Institute for Risk Assessment has conducted a scientific assessment of whether those affected can counteract hair loss with specific foods or food supplements. The conclusion: studies do not indicate any specific nutritional requirements – a balanced diet containing sufficient amounts of, for example, proteins, vitamins and minerals is sufficient.
