Promote Hair Growth

Hair, Skin, and Nail Health

Our hair, skin, and nails reflect our internal health and the foods we eat. There are many reasons why both men and women experience hair loss: heredity, hormone imbalance, hypothyroidism, nutrient deficient diet, smoking and drinking, and poor protein assimilation. Women may experience some hair loss as they grow older, usually after menopause. Heredity factors aside, there are steps a person can take to help increase hair growth and improve the health of hair, skin, and nails. The following is a recommended program:
