Receiving Vitamins Through The Hair & Shampoos

Atlanta–A news report published in the Aug. 25 issue of The New England Journal Of Medicine states common American receives 87%   vitamin intake through the hair and that is amazing. More and more shampoos are adding nutrition to the shampoos and conditioners as well as deep treatments to infuse the scalp with nutrition and vitamins for a daily amount that can not only help the hair but also the body.

Over the past five years, the field of hair-nutrient technology has evolved at a stunning rate," said Dr. Irving Kallberg, follicular nutritionist and author of the report. "Shampoo has now surpassed food as the primary source of vitamins for the vast majority of U.S. citizens."

According to Kallberg, a single quarter-ounce application of a high-vitamin shampoo like Clairol's Herbal Essences or Pantene Pro-V provides a full day's supply of Vitamins A, B, C, D and E, as well as minerals like calcium, zinc and magnesium. By supplementing shampoo with hair vitamins and use with a quality revitalizing conditioner like Aussie Hair Salad, Kallberg said, the user can meet all of his or her nutritional needs.

"A serving of protein based hair shampoos contain more protein than a 12-ounce New York strip steak," the author said. "And, unlike meat, these protein products give your hair a healthy, radiant luminance and shine."
