By composition, hair is made up of about 97% keratin, a fibrous structural protein. Keratin can also be found in the epidermis (outer) layer of skin and is believed to give skin its strength, flexibility and waterproof qualities. It is true that the peer-re- viewed scientific literature regarding the interplay between nutrition and hair loss is pretty slim. There is support for the belief that iron supplements V- and the essential amino acid, l-lysine, can prove / beneficial regarding certain groups of women with hair loss. To Life! For late-breaking news: trition can affect the qual- ity and growth/loss of hair. Like your skin, your hair reacts to what you eat and your overall health. Hair, however, can be an indicator of the body's overall health: e.g., breakage can be a sign of vitamin/ mineral deficiency and extreme dryness may indicate improper nutrition. Also, hair testing and analysis may show certain nutri- ent/element deficiencies. If you suffer from unexplained hair loss, you should see a doctor. A qualified dietitian can help with your particular nutritional needs.
