Nutritional & Herbal Support for Hair Strength, Growth & Graying
Hair thinning and graying are common concerns — influenced by nutrient deficiencies, stress, hormones, oxidative stress, and aging. While there’s no magic pill, certain supplements may help nourish hair from within, support the hair growth cycle, and even help delay premature graying.

💪 Key Nutrients & Supplements That May Help Support Hair Health
Biotin (Vitamin B7)
Supports keratin production — essential for hair, skin, and nails. Often found in hair growth formulas.
Collagen or Collagen-Building Blends
Provides amino acids like proline and glycine that support the hair structure and scalp health.
Saw Palmetto (For Men & Hormonal Hair Loss)
May help block the conversion of testosterone to DHT, a hormone linked to hair follicle shrinkage.
Fo-Ti (He Shou Wu)
A traditional Chinese herb used to promote hair growth and support natural hair pigmentation.
Zinc
Involved in tissue repair and hair follicle regeneration. Deficiency is a common contributor to shedding.
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
A sulfur-containing compound that supports collagen production and may help strengthen hair strands.
Catalase (For Graying Hair)
An antioxidant enzyme that helps break down hydrogen peroxide — a compound that builds up in hair follicles and may contribute to gray hair.
🥗 Lifestyle & Nutrition Tips for Hair & Scalp Health
- Eat protein-rich foods – Hair is made of protein! Eggs, lentils, fish, and bone broth all support growth
- Reduce high stress levels – Stress can trigger hair shedding and slow growth
- Avoid tight hairstyles & harsh treatments – Can weaken hair at the root
- Massage your scalp – Stimulates blood flow and follicle nourishment
- Get enough sleep – Growth and repair happen while you rest
🔍 Sample Supplement Timing
| Morning | With Meals | Evening |
|---|---|---|
| Fo-Ti, Collagen, Biotin | Zinc, MSM, Catalase (if supplementing) | Saw Palmetto, Herbal Hair Support Tea |
Some studies suggest that gray hair may be linked to the buildup of hydrogen peroxide in hair follicles — and that catalase, an enzyme that breaks it down, decreases with age. This is why some “gray delay” supplements include catalase along with Fo-Ti or antioxidant blends.
