Hello and welcome to HCM
Tricovit is a preparation containing a vitamin called
Biotin and two essential amino acids,
methionine and
cysteine.
The hair shaft is dead and its growth is controlled by the hair root. Hair root is the living portion of the hair.
Any tissue in the body requires proteins. Amino acids are building blocks of proteins. Essential amino acids are the amino acids which cannot be synthesized in the body and has to be taken in food.
Defiency of proteins in diet leads to poor regeneration in various body tissues like skin, hair, immune system etc.
Supplements may help to make up for the deficiencies in body.
However, long term benefit can only be obtained by taking care of our diet, including protein rich foods like pulses, egg, meat, cheese etc in diet.
Vegetarians are at higher risk of developing protein deficiency because the proteins present in vegetarian food is not as readily absorbed as the proteins in non-vegetarian food.
You can take tricovit or any other protein supplement.
However, remember tricovit is contraindicated during
pregnancy and
lactation (bresat feeding)
