Nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining healthy, resilient hair and supporting overall healthy-aging.
Certain key nutrients help nourish hair follicles, promote growth, and combat age-related hair thinning.
Top nutrients for anti-aging hair health:
✅ Protein: Hair is primarily made of keratin — adequate protein is essential
✅ Iron: Deficiency impairs oxygen delivery to follicles → promotes thinning
✅ Zinc: Supports follicle repair and immune resilience
✅ Vitamin D: Regulates hair follicle cycling → promotes growth
✅ B vitamins (Biotin, B6, B12): Support keratin production and hair strength
✅ Omega-3 fatty acids: Combat inflammation and support scalp health
✅ Vitamin C: Essential for collagen synthesis and antioxidant protection of follicles
How this supports anti-aging:
These nutrients not only promote vibrant hair, but also protect skin, support brain health, and reduce systemic inflammation — key pillars of graceful aging.
How to incorporate them naturally:
✅ Follow a diverse, nutrient-dense diet
✅ Address gut health → supports nutrient absorption
✅ Personalize supplementation as needed based on testing and individual needs
✅ Manage stress and support sleep → promotes optimal nutrient utilization
