Today we’re going to talk about one of the major hidden reasons for hair loss. Have you heard of vitamin H? You might know it as biotin. Biotin acts as a cofactor for certain enzymes, especially for the hair and skin.

Biotin deficiency symptoms:

• Hair loss (alopecia)
• Thinning hair
• Brittle nails 
• Skin rash 
• Loss of hair color 
• Mild depression 
• Muscle pain 
• Extreme tiredness 

It’s important to know what could be causing a biotin deficiency. It’s probably not from a lack of biotin in your diet, because biotin is in a lot of different foods. Raw eggs also have a certain chemical that blocks biotin absorption. But, to have this happen, you would have to consume 6-8 raw eggs every day for several months.

Foods rich in biotin: 

• Almonds 
• Eggs 
• Onions 
• Tomatoes 
• Peanuts 
• Salmon 
• Romaine lettuce 
• Cauliflower

The two main biotin deficiency causes: 

• Not enough good intestinal bacteria 
• The inability to absorb biotin in the small intestine 

There can be other hair loss causes. But, if you have hair loss, and you’ve tried a lot of other different things, the hidden reason for hair loss could be a vitamin B deficiency.

How to help stop hair loss in this situation?

• Take a biotin supplement
• Take probiotics
