There are so many things that can impact the health of your hair, particularly in terms of its growth. I want to talk about some of the factors that play a role in this.†
Nutrient deficiencies in things such as Vitamin D, Vitamin E, collagen and zinc are going to be big contributors to loss and thinning of hair, as well as the lack of growth of hair. Studies have shown that people who have poor dietary intake from following the Standard American Diet often have lower rates of hair growth. On the other hand, people in other countries who consumed more fruits and vegetables were found to have healthier hair in general. Many medications can contribute to these nutrient deficiencies, ultimately impacting your hair growth as well as your overall wellness.†

Hormonal implications will also have an impact on your hair. This may include issues with testosterone, insulin and glucose. Thyroid dysfunction can certainly play a role in the health of the hair as well. This is why it is important to monitor your body’s hormone levels.†
Chemicals can certainly impact the health of the hair. Many shampoos, conditioners and other hair products are packed with chemicals that will only add insult to injury. Instead, we want to be using plant-based nutrients from nature. The InViteⓇ Health shampoo and conditioner are great options because they are also free of alcohol, colorants and other toxins. We also offer a Hair and Scalp Stimulant that is made of rosemary, lavender, apple cider vinegar, sage, lemon peel extract and more. These nutrients help to nourish the hair shaft from the inside out.†

We can also look at changes in diets to help promote hair growth. We need to ensure that we are getting adequate healthy fats, key antioxidants and nutrients such as magnesium and zinc. Things such as tocotrienols are incredibly nourishing to the hair shaft itself and can help to enhance the overall growth of the hair. For many people, when they start to use tocotrienols in conjunction with a high-quality multivitamin like our Core Multivitamin, they’ll notice significant changes in their hair.†
In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH explains various factors that may be impacting your hair growth. She discusses how nutrients and chemicals can impact hair health and provides recommendations for helping your hair grow.†

Green tea possesses many proven health benefits. Studies have shown that tea may support your healthspan and lifespan. Your healthspan is how long you stay healthy and the goal is to be healthy right up until your last minute. Lifespan refers to how long you live.†
A number of studies have shown that green tea specifically improves the benefits of exercise. Together, these two factors have an additive effect that helps to build strong bones and improve strength. Taking a green tea capsule such as our Green Tea HxⓇ prior to exercise allows you to build more muscle and strengthen your bones while working out.†
There are quite a few studies showing that green tea helps prevent fragility and support balance. A study completed in Singapore looked at 2400 adults aged 55 years or older. The researchers found that tea consumption was connected to better balance in aging people, as well as a stronger and healthier gait. The gait can reveal a lot about an elderly person’s overall health.†

Blue zones are regions of the world where people have a trend of living much longer. There’s a blue zone above Venice, Italy, one in Ikaria, Greece, one in Loma Linda, California, one in Ecuador and one off the coast of Japan in Okinawa. People in these regions typically live far longer than people from other surrounding areas. It’s not uncommon in these regions for people to live to 90 or 105 years old.†
A study done on the blue zone in Ikaria, Greece looked at 673 people aged 65 to 100. Researchers then followed up with them several years later. They found that some factors that contributed to the longevity of these subjects included coffee packed with polyphenols, fruit intake, high-quality olive oil and drinking tea. Antioxidants may also contribute to long, healthy lives.†
