Can Follihair And Protein Powder Be Taken Simultaneously For Hair Fall?

I am 26 year old female. I was taking Ayurveda medicine for weight loss for two months and I lost almost 4 kgs. But i experienced a lot of hair fall. the same Dr prescribed me protein powder. I started having it but then I also use to take hair loss supplement named Follihair which was effective. My question is can I take Follihair in evening and Protein powder in morning?

Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM.

Yes, Follihair and Protein powder can be taken once daily at different times.

Weight loss and dieting can precipitate hair loss since the body nutritional requirement is met by utilizing the hair protein, thus leading to hair fall. This is known as Telogen effluvium

Treatment involves replenishing the protein and since hair is all protein(keratin), protein supplement does help in reversing hair loss.

Follihair contains Biotin and other nutrients beneficial for hair regrowth.

take care

I have gone through your query. Follihair contains Vitamins and Minerals which are directly or indirectly essential for hairs. There is no harm on taking Follihair and protein powder together. Your can make your own schedule.
