Zinc

Zinc plays an important role in hair growth and repair by keeping the oil glands working effectively.

Potassium

Sometimes the level of salt can be high in our diet, which can cause hair loss. So it is important to balance out the effects of increasing the levels of potassium in our diet.

Magnesium

Magnesium is often called a natural anti-stress agent, with stress being responsible for hair loss to a great extent. Getting the daily dose of this mineral will control hair loss, while at the same time, this helps in promoting hair growth from the follicles.
