While it's true that there are many shampoo manufacturers that claim superiority over the other, knowing which shampoo could bring out the best in your hair is such difficult to find out. So if you're on the search for the best shampoo for your healthy hair, think the "what" of these ads and check how the products could generate greater results for your hair. Yes, it's undeniable that all marketing companies would claim their best for their products so be cautious. Be a critical consumer and pick the best. Remember, your hair is your crown of beauty so that means, extreme care is needed.
The truth is that there are four main problems that vitamin-infused shampoos are meant to cure: Vitamins in shampoos are supposed to halt slow growth of your hair, graying of hair, hair loss, and general loss of health of your hair.
Vitamin-infused shampoos can either have a specific vitamin or multivitamins in their solution, some herbal supplements or a special ingredient known only to the manufacturer but which they say is a winner of a substance. Sometimes, you may see some famous names in the hairstyling world endorsing a specific shampoo which they claim is THE best in the market. All these choices can leave an ordinary consumer bewildered. So what is the truth?
Vitamins in shampoos can leave your scalp and hair healthier through repeated use. There is an issue on this claim actually. The truth is that most of the manufacturers of these shampoos rely on testimonials from "satisfied users" to back up their claim. Testimonials are not automatically false, but to provide conclusive proof that a claim is true for a certain population of people, controlled studies have to be done so that controlled results can be produced. If you had to choose between believing a testimonial from a "satisfied user" known only by her initials, and a controlled study done by a reputable testing center, which would you believe? Obviously, the later, right?
No conclusive evidence that vitamins applied externally to your hair via a shampoo will restore the health of your hair. It is generally accepted in medical circles that a lack of appropriate nutrition in your body can change the health of your hair for the worse. However, to claim that applying vitamins directly on the hair will bring back health and vitality to your hair is not based on any body of firm scientific evidence at present.
With the abovementioned 4 issues, a scientific fact does exist which puts doubt on the claim that vitamin-enriched shampoos can produce healthier hair -that hair is already dead when it shoots up out of our scalp. That is why when you have a haircut you cannot feel pain - there are no nerve endings connecting your hair shaft to your body anymore. For this reason, some scientific experts doubt very much that vitamin-enriched shampoos are absorbed by your hair, and make the hair and scalp healthier through continuous use. Last word of advice is for you to visit a doctor when you have hair issues.
Basic Facts about Vitamins There are two kinds of vitamins that help people get and stay healthy: fat soluble and water soluble vitamins. Fat soluble vitamins are those that are produced by the human body and reside in the liver and fatty tissues inside the body. They stay there until the human body has a special requirement for them. These are vitamins A, D, E, and K.
Water soluble vitamins on the other hand are found in numerous fruits and vegetables. These vitamins are vitamin C and all other substances falling under the Vitamin B category like thiamin and niacin. When these vitamins enter the human body, they don't stay stored in reserve like fat soluble vitamins but go in circulation through the bloodstream. Those that aren't used by the human body are released through urine.
Pros and Cons of Having a Vitamin-Rich Diet The greatest benefit you can enjoy from having a vitamin-rich diet is that your body will able to digest the vitamins found in the foods you eat in its purest and natural form. Although vitamin supplements are still beneficial to your health, they are however not as effective as those found in fruits and vegetables.
Having a vitamin-rich diet is also a more fulfilling way to get healthy because you can enjoy eating at the same time. Vitamin supplements taste bland, and that's why they often become seen as a tedious task to perform daily. A vitamin-rich diet on the other hand can consist of different dishes everyday depending on your skills and creativity in the kitchen.
As for the disadvantages, however, the first thing you might have difficulties adjusting to is the restrictions on the types of foods that you'll have to eat. In order as not to counteract the effects of your vitamin-rich diet, you will therefore be required to stay away from meat, sweets, and other foods that are rich in sugar, fats, or oils.
Having a vitamin-rich diet is also usually the more expensive option because you'd have to modify your grocery shopping list to include more greens and other healthy food choices and less of the affordable potato chips you love so much.
Pros and Cons of Taking Vitamin Supplements Choosing the right vitamin supplement is important because not all types of vitamin supplements are suitable for your body's needs. Knowing the right dosage is also important. If you take less than what you need then you're not going to get healthy as quickly as you should have or stay healthy as long as you should do. If you take more than what you need, the excess vitamins you ingest can cause undesirable chemical reactions with any of your bodily functions.
In other words, to play it safe, you will have to consult your doctor as to which vitamin supplements you exactly need.
The biggest advantage to taking vitamin supplements however is the ease and convenience it affords you. Vitamin supplements are something you can take anywhere you go so there's no problem maintaining your healthy habit no matter where you are!
In the end, it's still your choice...either way is right, but choosing both options however is the best option.
