Vitamins good for hair growth in children!

Hair grows from what we eat and what sort of Nutrition we take in food. Hair is a complex tissue and it requires various minerals, including Proteins, Vitamins and various other additions which make it stronger and longer. A balanced nutrition plan ensures better life span of hair and less aging signs, both in you and your hair.

Vitamins are an essential supplement for Hair Growth. One should remember that our body is built up by protein. Whereas Muscle is made up of 80% Protein, our Hair Follicles are made of 100% Keratin, thus whenever our body requires protein it takes it up from Hair, as it not a living part in our body. Here we are going to speak about Vitamins and which of them are best for Children's Hair. Where do Vitamins come into play? And How are they Necessary? Vitamins help in absorption of Protein, thus when any food high in protein is taken along with such vitamins, it ensures that body will use it well. Also lack Vitamin D and B7 have been associated with Hair Loss and lower production of hair.

As we care about Child's Health, we should definitely check for his/her Hair Health too. Some children face hair fall due to nutritional deficiency and because they aren't receiving enough vitamins to help their Hair Growth. Thus we need to ensure that their diet has optimum level of nutrients and we need to check with a doctor if we see any problems with their hair.

The 3 most necessary Hair Vitamins for Children are:

1. Vitamin C: Vitamin C plays a crucial role in protein metabolism. New researches show that lack of Vitamin C has shown that it can be a major cause of Alopecia (Hair Loss) and specifically Alopecia Areata. Sufficient vitamin C consumption boost intestinal absorption of protein and thus there is plenty of protein for both Hair and your overall Health.

2. Vitamin D3: Vitamin D regulates gene expression in nearly every cell in the body, including hair follicles, and it's crucial to promote normal cycles of cell growth and replication. Not getting enough vitamin D can lead to hair follicle cells not being repaired and renewed properly, which leads to Hair thinning and Hair Loss over longer periods of time if it isn't resolved soon. Thus enough Vitamin D is necessary. Cod liver oil, salmon, fortified Orange Juice can provide adequate amount of Vitamin D. Just give it accordingly and check if your child shows any sign of irritation, while consuming these products.

3. Vitamin B7: Biotin or as it is commonly known Vitamin B7 is critical for creating the building blocks of hair, if you don't have enough biotin, your body can't build healthy keratin protein. And as we know Hair is composed of 100% Keratin. Thus B7 is the most important Vitamin for Hair Growth and also for it Renewal. And lacking it can cause serious hair loss or lead to more loss of hair if there are any prior existing conditions. Eggs, Salmon provide good amount of Vitamin B, but you can also opt for green vegetables to get ample amount of it.
