Vitamin B5
Vitamin B5, or pantothenic acid, is an essential vitamin for hair growth and health, and a natural antioxidant. Your body needs vitamin B-5 to metabolise the carbs, protein and fat you eat, and in turn, convert this food into usable energy and nourishment for all of your cells. Without this vitamin, your hair follicles will not get the nutrients they need to function properly. Over time, this can lead to a malnourishment of your follicles and result in reduced hair growth and even loss. Meeting the recommended daily allowance, or RDA, of Vitamin B5 can help prevent this from occurring.
