Vitamin E could be the hair loss reversal trick you’ve always been looking for. In one study, people saw a more than 34% boost in hair growth when taking this supplement!
The study was published in the Tropical Life Sciences Research medical journal. It followed 21 volunteers who took 100 milligrams of vitamin E while another set of volunteers took a placebo. The researchers then monitored the participants for 10 months. Those who were taking vitamin E saw their hair growth improve while those on the placebo actually saw their hair growth drop.
“This observed effect was most likely to be due to the antioxidant activity of [vitamin E],” reports the researchers. If you want to see if vitamin E is the key to stopping and reversing your own hair loss, try these vitamin E-rich foods today.
