so I want to talk about one of the major hidden reasons for hair loss okay check this out this is very interesting I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of item an H but another name for vitamin H is biotin okay now when you’re deficient in biotin you’re gonna develop hair loss especially alopecia okay number two you may get thinning of the hair there were three brittle nails or a skin rash could be flaking scaly skin you could have a loss of hair color mild depression muscle pain or extreme tiredness but other than that you’re gonna be doing great I’m being sarcastic biotin acts as a cofactor a helper B vitamin it’s a type of B vitamin for certain enzymes especially for the hair and the skin and also to make certain essential fats within body tissue and that’s all really interesting but what’s really important is to know why you might be deficient and biotin so the question is maybe you’re not consuming enough biotin from the diet right well chances are that’s not the reason because it’s in a lot of different foods it’s in almonds eggs onions tomatoes peanuts salmon romaine lettuce cauliflower and it’s in a lot of other foods as well or it may be you’re consuming too many raw eggs when you consume raw eggs I’m talking about the white part okay it has a certain chemical that blocks your absorption of biotin but you would have to consume at least six to eight raw eggs every single day for several months to have that happen but the major reason why most people are deficient in biotin are either they don’t have enough intestinal good bacteria because we depend on our good bacteria to make certain nutrients especially biotin so if you took antibiotics for some reason and is destroyed your friendly bacteria and you did replace it that could be one reason why you’re not making biotin okay and when you don’t have the friendly bacteria you get an overgrowth of an unfriendly bacteria and that could lead to alopecia right there so that’s one cause the other cause is malabsorption you don’t have the ability to absorb biotin in your small intestine and that could be coming from irritable bowel syndrome celiac crohn’s disease some type of ongoing inflammatory condition that gave you scar tissue and now you can’t absorb it and that would also explain why someone would start taking a biotin supplement and all of a sudden their hair comes back their skin looks great they start developing thicker hair and their diets pretty good the problem is they can’t absorb 100% of it because they have damage in their GI tract so they have to take more to create the effect or it could be that they have an imbalance of microflora that they’re not able to make enough of it so they just need a lot more so if you’re having hair loss and you’ve tried a lot of different things you tried trace minerals you’re eating higher-quality protein you’re taking the B vitamins well guess what it could be this right here so you may need to take a supplement or you may need to support your your friendly bacteria and start taking more probiotics and if you have not seen my other videos on hair loss I put them up right here check them out
