Dietary supplements claiming to affect hair growth Basic facts
There are no published clinical
data to back up claims that certain foods, over-the-counter medications,
vitamins or other preparations taken by mouth can slow or stop
hair growth.
The only oral products that have demontrated they can affect
hair growth are prescription oral medications.
Notes
There are a few old wives' tales floating around that eating
certain foods can reduce your hair growth. These rumors have never
been proven with testing.
Recently, some people have suggested that eating a meat tenderizer
called papain or another called bromelain can reduce hair growth.
These rumors have no basis in clinical research and should be
disregarded.
