Mushrooms are an excellent source of vitamins and nutrients to promote hair growth. I wrote an article for a client about how a recipe including raw mushrooms can help increase hair growth. Here is an excerpt from the article:
Vital nutrients need to reach the hair follicles to promote healthy hair growth. Mushrooms provide you with important nutrients and vitamins to increase the growth of your hair. Mushrooms contain Vitamin D, antioxidants, and minerals such as selenium and copper.
One of the main causes of hair loss is anemia which is caused by a lack of iron in the blood. To prevent and decrease hair loss, mushrooms are an excellent source of iron. Iron is an essential mineral to the formation of red blood cells which will in turn strengthen your hair.
Copper is another mineral in mushrooms that facilitates the absorption of iron from the food you eat. The copper and iron in mushrooms are able to work together to promote healthy hair and strengthen the roots of your hair. Copper is used in the production of melanin, a pigment that is involved in coloring your hair.
Large amounts of selenium, an effective mineral in promoting healthy hair, are in mushrooms. Selenium strengthens your immune system while aiding in the growth of your hair. Dandruff prevention is another benefit of selenium.
The compounds in selenium are able to kill a fungus called Malassezia which can appear on your scalp and causes the shedding of dry skin fragments. When the selenium is combined with zinc, they are able to work together to prevent hair loss.
