There are a variety of vitamins and supplements you can take to rejuvenate, nourish, and strengthen your hair. Whether you’re trying to improve your hair after a hair transplant, or you want to improve the strands you naturally grow, adding these to your diet may help you improve the appearance, feel, and overall health of your hair.
Essential Vitamins and Minerals for Hair Regrowth
Taking your vitamins can begin to feel like alphabet soup, and with ever-emerging research and contradictory advice, we understand that it’s hard to figure out what you should take for a thick and full head of hair. Vitamins and minerals support the body’s natural hair growth enzymes, aid in the recovery process after your transplant, and help to maintain your new hair as it grows. Here is a list of after-care vitamins and minerals that we recommend to keep you looking and feeling good after the procedure:
Vitamin B
B vitamins are a group of eight essential nutrients that promote healthy cell functioning. They help create red blood cells, which carry oxygen and nutrients to your scalp and hair follicles. Vitamin B7 (biotin) and Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) are ideal for hair growth and post-transplant care, so try to incorporate them into your vitamin regimen if possible.
Sick of swallowing capsules? Lucky for you, B vitamins can also be found in many of your favorite foods! Sources of biotin and cobalamin include foods such as whole grains, leafy vegetables, fish, and meat. So next time you’re at a steakhouse, you can congratulate yourself on supporting your hair regrowth with a juicy sirloin and seasonal salad.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is another important vitamin to take if you’re interested in cell growth and development. It aids in hair regrowth by stimulating the sebaceous glands to secrete sebum, which moisturizes your scalp. Sebum also relieves itchiness on your scalp, so you don’t have to worry about the need to itch and scratch as your hair continues to grow in!
To get your daily fill of vitamin A, you can incorporate various foods into your diet, including sweet potatoes, carrots, eggs, milk, and cod liver oil. Alternatively, you can purchase vitamin A supplements, but make sure that your minimum intake is 700 mcg per serving.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C accelerates the healing process by stimulating collagen and elastin production, so it’s important to work it into your diet following a hair transplant procedure. It also offers protection from oxidative stress, which inhibits hair regrowth. Foods rich in vitamin C include broccoli, citrus fruits, berries, and kale, making it easy to intake during breakfast or if you make a healthy salad. If you opt to consume vitamin C supplements, make sure to find ones that contain 1000 mg per serving.
Iron
Iron is a mineral that helps maintain healthy blood by secreting hemoglobin, a protein that transports oxygen to all parts of the body. Iron is vital for hair regrowth since proper oxygen circulation can stimulate the hair follicles and provide them with the nutrients they need. It also boosts your immunity, which quickens the healing process after a hair transplant! You can purchase beef, beans, spinach, and clams and include them in your diet to boost your iron intake. Or, if it’s easier, you can also take iron capsules.

It sure is. It not only includes ingredients that aid in your hair journey, but it also serves as a daily multivitamin, with the exception of Vitamin D, as it’s often prescribed in large doses due to low vitamin D being a commonality among the general public. It is a natural immunity booster that contains several important vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.

There are no known side effects. MAXIM Vitamin is a mix of natural ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and ayurvedic herbs that are generally well tolerated by all. Of course, some people are sensitive to supplements and may experience discomfort such as an upset stomach, though this is a rare occurrence. If you have a history of allergic reactions, you should always review the ingredients of products before you decide to make a purchase.
Can I take this if I am using a topical fin########/minoxidil product?
Yes, it is safe and recommended that you take the MAXIM Vitamin with a topical compound to aid in the best results. Products, procedures, and supplements can all act in a unique and positive way within the human body. Mostly, these three approach your hair from a different angle and help combat the various direct and indirect damaging effects of dihydrotestosterone and other culprits.
Other Supplements You Can Take
After undergoing a hair transplant at MAXIM Hair Restoration you may want to take nutritional supplements to aid your body with hair regrowth. Shedding hair all over your furniture can be really frustrating, especially when you’re trying to grow a luscious head of hair, but these supplements may help you control daily hair loss! We recommend supplements like:
Saw Palmetto
Many factors play a role in growing strong, healthy hair, including your hormones! Saw palmetto is a potent berry extract that targets the natural regulation of hormones that contribute to hair loss. When appropriately harvested, saw palmetto maintains the vital compounds that block the dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hormone, which is important because DHT can affect the hair follicles if your body produces too much.
Hydrolyzed Collagen
Collagen seems to be all the rage in wellness communities, but there’s a good reason for it. Collagen promotes keratin production, a structural protein component that makes up most of your hair, nails, and skin. It also encourages regular blood circulation to your scalp, stimulating new hair follicles and stronger hair roots. Collagen also acts as a natural antioxidant that minimizes graying of hair, so it can help you in more ways than one!
Learn More About Hair Transplantation
Thanks to technological and scientific developments, you now have several opportunities to consider if you notice hair thinning or loss. If you’re considering hair transplantation, it’s important to review your options so you can choose the method that’s right for you and your scalp. There are two primary hair transplantation techniques to choose from; follicular unit transplant (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE).
Both techniques involve a surgical procedure that removes hair follicles from one part of the body called the “donor site” to a bald or balding area called the “recipient site.” With FUT, surgeons take a strip of hair follicles from the donor site to the recipient site, whereas FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor site to the recipient site to create a more natural pattern.
We know that you have a busy schedule, and the expert hair transplant surgeons at our MAXIM Hair Restoration centers perform the FUT and FUE transplant procedures in as little as six to eight hours! This means that you don’t have to worry about sacrificing a lot of your free time for the procedure or recovery process, and can get back to living your life with a head of hair you feel confident about!
