Can Vitamin C actually Help with Hair Loss?

I was unaware of the connection between getting a healthy amount of vitamin C in your daily diet and hair loss. According to a recent article I read a lack of vitamin C can lead to gradual hair loss and alopecia in both men and women. The article suggests that it’s smart to load up on citrus fruits and other sources of Vitamin C.

Supposedly vitamins cannot lead to new hair regrowth, it would be advisable I assume to use a hair growth product for that, they can reduce the amount of hair you lose.

Something I didn’t find any mention of was how this relates to DHT. Most of us know that male hair loss is generally a result of hair follicles being affected by DHT on the scalp. I would assume that a shampoo for hair loss would be advisable still to reduce the chances of DHT causing your hair to thin and eventually follicles to go dormant.

I guess if you’re an individual wondering what you can do to try and reduce your chances of having excessive hair loss taking some extra vitamin C and loading up on some citrus wouldn’t be a bad thing. It can have other positive health effects as well.
