Hair Loss. Suggest Supplements To Reduce Hair Fall?
I am almost 60 years old...this year I have started experiencing a great about of hair loss which my beautician
calls "sheading"...I have to clear the drain twice between washing and conditioning.....There are also 50-100
hairs lost while blow dying.....I have been taking the sme meds for quite a few years and even stopped a few this year.. Is there a supplement that would help stop the loss?

Hello
Thanks for sending your query to HCM.
Normally less than 100 hairs get shed from the scalp.
Hair also will be lost slightly more while bathing, showering, drying etc.
However if you want some supplements it should be in the form of fruits and green leafy vegetables. Drugs like biotin may be of help.
