Explanation

Hair loss can be caused by many things, and certain vitamins and minerals might help. Vitamin D is important for hair growth, and a lack of it might lead to hair loss. Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is another vitamin that helps keep hair healthy.

Important Vitamins and Minerals:

  1. Vitamin D: Helps hair grow and might prevent hair loss if you don't get enough.
  2. Biotin (Vitamin B7): Keeps hair strong and healthy.
  3. Other Micronutrients: Some other vitamins and minerals might also help, but more research is needed.

Eating a balanced diet with these vitamins can help keep your hair healthy. If you're worried about hair loss, it's a good idea to talk to a doctor.
