Nutrition and hair fall
Hair is sensitive to nutrition. Low iron, vitamin D, vitamin B12, protein or other nutrients can contribute to hair shedding, especially after illness, dieting or pregnancy.
Taking random supplements is rarely helpful. Testing first shows what, if anything, is actually low.
How it works
The plan is based on your history and test results.
- Assessment: diet, recent illness, weight changes and medicines
- Blood tests: when indicated, to check nutrient levels
- Correction: supplements or diet changes for any deficiency found
- Combined care: alongside treatment for the type of hair loss
Who it may help
May help if you have…
- hair fall after illness, dieting or pregnancy
- a restrictive or vegetarian diet
- known low iron or vitamin levels
- diffuse thinning all over the scalp
Good to know
- supplements help mainly if you are deficient
- too much of some supplements can be harmful
- nutrition alone rarely treats pattern hair loss

Questions
Frequently asked questions
More questions? Ask the clinic on WhatsApp.
Should I take biotin for hair fall?
Biotin helps only if you are deficient, which is uncommon. Testing first avoids unnecessary supplements.
Which tests are needed?
Commonly iron studies, vitamin D, vitamin B12 and thyroid tests, depending on your history.
How long before I see a difference?
Usually a few months, as hair follicles take time to recover.
Can diet alone fix hair loss?
It helps when nutrition is the cause, but many types of hair loss need medical treatment too.
