More Health Info & Answers

A: We all shed some of our hair every day as part of our body’s natural process. Serious thinning, however, is a concern for many people—whether you’re young or old, male or female, blond or brunette.

Natural treatments—Some men see positive results from taking the herbal supplement saw palmetto. More research is needed before it is known whether saw palmetto is safe and effective for women.

Diet therapy—Though there seems to be agreement that wholesome nutrition can, in some cases, reduce or prevent the problem, research has not yet pinpointed a “magic formula.” Talking to a knowledgeable, experienced nutritionist may provide some guidance on foods to eat or avoid, but until more is known, people with hair loss concerns would at least be well advised to eat a balanced, nutrient-rich diet, and take a multivitamin supplement.
