Concentrated Botanicals
Dr. Engelman recommends this hair vitamin because it uses highly concentrated botanicals to address every stage of the growth cycle, while also containing vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to regrow and support hair building blocks. "DHT inhibitors and anti-stress adaptogens rebalance hormone levels to reduce follicle damage," she says.  "Anti-inflammatories and antioxidants reduce damage, and natural vasodilators revive follicles and increase scalp circulation."

Vitamin A
All three experts list vitamin A as an important element for helping combat hair loss. Hill explains that vitamin A is vital in supporting the tissue and cells which make up the hair follicle.
