Vitamins B for hair

This complex of vitamins is necessary for health and beauty of hair. It not only strengthens hair, but also does head skin healthy. The lack _{of B1 Vitamin}results in dimness and the increased fragility of hair. Riboflavinum _{(B2 Vitamin)} gives to hair silkiness and a beautiful healthy look. Quite often the lack of Niacin _{(B3 Vitamin)} is the reason of early emergence of a gray hair. A hypovitaminosis _{of B6 and B12 Vitamins}leads to a xeroderma of the head and emergence of dandruff.

They easily collapse the caffeine, nicotine refined by sugar and alcohol. As a result of it many people test a hypovitaminosis (shortcoming) of vitamins B.

In large numbers a conclusion of vitamins B is observed during treatment by antibiotics and antitubercular drugs, and also at stresses. Therefore need for additional receipt of a complex of vitamins B sharply increases in this situation. So against the background of therapy by antibiotics the need for _{B1 vitamin} increases by 10 times, and in _{B2, B5 and B6 vitamins} – more than five times.
