Prescribed Cysteine B6 For Hairloss. Vitamin Supplement Equivalent To Cysteine B6?
I am looking for a vitamin supplement equivalent to cysteine B6 in India. Is there any alternative with same contents of cysteine. I had consulted a doctor to preserve hair loss and he has advised to take cysteine B6. The product is much costlier in the UAE. I would appreciate if you could suggest similar to this product in India. My height - 5.8 , Weight - 74kg, No medical problems. Prem

Hi there ~
Vitamin B6 may help prevent hair loss. However there are a lot of other factors that can lead to hair loss and this might include other vitamin and micronutrient deficiencies. I hope you are on multivitamins and multiminerals and specific agents for hair growth. Minoxidil may also be helpful in preventing hair loss and you need to see a dermatologist to get a prescription for the same. I hope this helped. Take care and have a lovely day!
