Nutrient/ Vitamin |
Ingredient |
Hair Benefit |
Carbohydrate |
Oats |
Carbohydrates are your bodies preferred source of energy used to create new cells. Ensuring you fuel your body with healthy wholegrains, such as oats, maintains your bodies energy levels and promotes consistent hair growth. |
Iron |
Oats |
Iron is a key nutrient in preventing hair loss and encouraging hair growth. Iron is used by the body to transport oxygen through the blood to cells. These same cells are the cells used in the creation of new hair follicles. In reverse, a lack of iron, leading to a lack of oxygen in the cells, causes hair loss as hair follicles can no longer grow or survive. |
Omega3 |
Chia Seeds, Hemp Seeds |
Omega3s, a critical micronutrient of fat, are vital to ensuring your hair is elastic and supple all year round. The fatty acid chains in Omega3s are readily absorbed by the body and prevent dry/flakey scalps. |
Protein |
Protein Powder, Peanut Butter and Soy Milk (if using)
|
Hair is predominately made up of a type of protein called Keratin. Because of this, it relies on extra protein to maintain tensile strength and keep sufficient elasticity. Did you know peanut butter and soy milk are fantastic sources of plant-based protein? They and can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes! |
