Hair Health Boosted by Food Supplement Trend

Almost half of all Britons now pop a vitamin pill or use other food supplement tablets every day, according to new research from Mintel. But why is this potentially great news for anyone hoping to stave off hair loss?

The answer is that hair generally has a better chance of thriving on a healthy body that is well stocked up with recommended vitamins and minerals. There are a number of nutritional deficiencies which can also cause thinning hair, or worsen existing hair loss conditions. This is why ensuring your hair's needs are met from the inside is an important part of maintaining hair health.

Supplement users on the rise

The Mintel report reveals how the number of supplement users is on the rise, with 65 per cent of all adults using them at least some of the time. Sales of vitamin and mineral supplements are growing at a rate of around two per cent a year, with the market currently worth more than £400m.

Jack Duckett, Senior Consumer Lifestyles Analyst at Mintel, said: “Vitamins and mineral sales continue to be propelled by consumers’ emphasis on health and wellbeing, leading people to take a more proactive approach towards their health.”

This can only be good news for hair health, too, as studies have repeatedly found how closely interlinked hair loss conditions and a person’s general health can be.

Whilst, ideally, you should be able to derive all the necessary vitamins and minerals needed for healthy hair from following a balanced diet, sometimes this simply isn't possible. In these instances it can be wise to take a food supplement to keep all bases covered.

It is for precisely this reason that Belgravia developed Hair Vitalics, an exclusive blend of vitamins, minerals and other hair-friendly ingredients that can act as a supplementary hair growth booster for people who may be missing some of these things in their diets and feel like they need a top-up. These convenient one-a-day tablets are available in Hair Vitalics for Women or Hair Vitalics for Men options in order to make each formulation as highly-targeted as possible.
