In my research over the last few years, I have found that reputable literature cites about forty different vitamins, minerals, amino acids and herbs as being directly involved in helping hair grow again. These are:

Vitamins A, B2, B3, B6, B12, folic acid, biotin, inositol, PABA, bee pollen, Vitamins C and E, iodine, calcium, sulphur, zinc, L-methionine, L-lysine, L-cysteine, L-taurine, L-glutathione, potassium, iron, silica, selenium, EFAs (essential fatty acids), cayenne, pleurisy root, black cohosh, prickly ash, kelp, agnus castus, helonias, motherwort, blue flag root, nettle, yellow dock, gentian, gingko biloba, digestive enzymes. (This is not taking into account all the homeopathic remedies which are also able to re-start hairgrowth.)

But which ones are right for you? - The only way of finding out is to ask your body! Every person is different, and two women who have hair problems because of polycystic ovaries may need very different vitamins and minerals to help sort things out.

A hair or nail sample is an ideal way of finding out exactly what your body needs. All I need are about 20 hairs, 2 inches long, or a few nail clippings from your fingernails. This sample can be used again and again as it stays energetically linked to your body. So even if you wanted me to test you again for supplements or anything else in a year’s time, I can still use the same sample – it will always reflect your current state of health. (If this fact is too weird for you, you are of course welcome to send me new hair samples or nail clippings every time!)
