Hi Lori,

I'm pretty sure that I have a thyroid problem as well which is causing my hair to thin and fall out. I'm not positive, because I have no insurance to get an opinion on this situation. I'm 23 and pretty much panicking, I'd also like to know if anyone has any idea on vitamins that could help this. I am taking some Biotin everyday now because i heard a rumor it could help hair. Time will tell, but I'm looking into other things as well.

My name is Joanne. I too am loosing my hair. Everyday when I wash, comb and blowdry my hair it keeps breaking off in different lengths and I think falling out too. I'm 41 and my hair is getting thinner and thinner every day - close to balding. No one seems to know why. I've tried different hair products and vitamins. Can any one help.

Yes there are many supplements that have helped me including zinc and selenium,

calcium to magnesium ratios should be corrected and taking the antioxidant selenium, & zinc. Silica, Tea Tree shampoo and amino acid L- Cysteine, Shen Min (the brand on this site is unknown to me) and aveda oil may help as well. I have more info that I can look up for you, e-mail me at hopetohealth@ao.com
