Inositol and Hair Loss

Inositol is a naturally occurring substance that is sometimes mistaken as a B vitamin. It can be found in common food sources such as high bran content cereals, nuts, beans, liver, cantaloupe, oranges, bananas and raisins.

Information about it's benefits for hair growth is sketchy, mostly stating it's synergistic combination with choline.

One way it may help hair growth is as a kidney and liver support supplement. The better shape your filter organs are the better chance you have of getting nutritional elements to your scalp.

It has also found popularity in treating mental problems such as obsessive compulsive disease, bulimia, and depression. If this is true then it may also help reduce stress levels which could cause hair loss. Patients with clinical depression have been found to have low levels of this substance in their cerebrospinal fluid.

It may also help control estrogen levels which could be causing a hormonal imbalance which leads to hair loss.

Finally, remember that coffee has detrimental effects on your natural levels of this vitamin like substance and should be avoided if you want to get the most from your supplement or natural sources.
