Can beetroot juice help prevent hair loss?

Can beetroot juice help prevent hair loss?What we eat is one of the most important factors in maintaining our general health and by extension this also applies to our hair. A balanced diet that’s rich in minerals and vitamins is always going to advisable and this is where beetroots come in.

Beetroot improves sexual performance

Beetroots are generally recognised as one of the best Superfoods. The vegetable is a fantastic source of iron, potassium, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. In many countries the humble beetroot was regarded as a medicine and has had various properties ascribed to it from being an anti-inflammatory to lowering blood pressure and even improving sexual performance.

Some people even claim that drinking beetroot juicewill prevent hair loss and generate new growth. The rationale is that beetroots area a rich source of potassium which is essential to the growth of new hair.

The secret is in the potassium

Whilst it’s true that potassium is important for follicles to produce hair it’s a big step to suggest that ingesting it will suddenly result in new hair growth. The truth is that beetroots are not a proven treatment for hair loss. Eaten as part of a balanced diet they will help to maintain overall health and wellbeing but they won’t prevent hair loss.

There are treatments for male pattern baldness, such as propecia and minoxidil which have been proven to stop shedding and promote new hair growth. These work by actively reducing the effects of DHT which actually attacks the hair growing on top of the head.

There are of course other treatments (not just orally taken medication) such as finasteride (applied topically), hair transplants, laser therapy and scalp micropigmentation. All these treatments and procedures have proven levels of success and anyone who is concerned about hair loss should talk to a dedicated hair loss clinic to discuss which option might be most appropriate for them.

So, don’t stop eating the beetroot as it will help with the general health of your hair but if you’re worried about shedding then speak to the professionals.
