Guest guest Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hair is made mostly of sulfur-containing amino acids. Dietary sources include whey protein, cottage cheese, meat, chicken, fish, cheese, and eggs. Hair has a low priority, thus when it is falling out there are typically nutrient or metabolic deficiencies, which is why it falls out with a sluggish thyroid. Thyroid support, B vitamins, iron, and MSM sulfur are the most commonly used nutrients to help hair, along with adequate dietary protein. Any one product may help, some people choose a more comprehensive approach. Irene , " doglover894 " <doglover894 wrote: > > I know about rogaine, primrose oil, saw palmetto, biotin.

Anything else you know about- thanks> The first thing I noticed was your age: 50. As menopause expert Michelle will probably tell you, peri-menopause is a time when the thyroid gland is under stress. Loss of hair can be one result of that. Measures taken to improve all-over health may have better hair as a side effect. As always, we have to keep in mind that different foods/supplements/healing modes do the trick for different people. Do your due diligence and investigate what rings true for you. The following product is something I sell as well as use, so if that is against your principles you can stop reading right now. I remember the clumps of hair in my brush in the dark days B.A.* when I was your age. It was one of the signs of all-over misery. *B.A. stands for Before Algae. AFA wild algae changed my life in many ways. After a few months on it I went from a muddled menopausal mess to a vibrant woman who knows where the car keys are. The hair loss stopped too. Many other people have reported the same thing. A friend who has very fine thin hair makes her own capsules out of bulk AFA and horsetail herb (equisetum arvense). Huge difference. For this particular case you might prefer the formula Aquazon, which has 10% kelp added as an extra thyroid boost, and combine it with Sumacazon, all-over gland food. Just an idea.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Have you checked to see if there is any reason for the hair loss? For instance, being hypothyroid can cause hair loss. If you find out the reason, then you can figure out how to go about treating it. It doesn't mean you then have to accept prescription meds for it Cindy Cindy Kirchhoff http://livinginrhyme.com , " doglover894 " <doglover894 wrote: > > I know about rogaine, primrose oil, saw palmetto, biotin.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 It's important to treat the cause of your hair loss rather than the symptom. That's the only way to achieve lasting, positive results. As a woman at 50, Hypothyroidism is very common. You could also be experiencing adrenal fatigue. There are a lot of great natural remedies for hair loss, but I would start by determining and addressing the reason behind it.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Amen Michelle! I couldn't agree with you more on this. If you treat the symptoms, you won't be treating the core issue. Treat the core issue and the symptoms go away on their own. It is just too easy to recommend a supplement before we know the cause. You wouldn't take Chemo if you thought you might have cancer without knowing you really did. And then you would question if that were the best therapy.
