Don’t IGNORE this UNDERESTIMATED culprit behind hair loss
It’s a sad day when you start to see MORE hair in the bathroom sink… on your pillowcase… or in your brush…
And LESS hair on the top of your head!
Hair loss strikes lots of older folks – both guys and gals.
But no matter WHO you are… or HOW OLD you are…
It can be a real BLOW to your confidence.
Friend, it’s not just “bad luck”… and it might not even just be “bad genes.”
There are LOTS of culprits behind hair loss…
Like nutritional deficiencies… hormonal imbalances… infections… and even certain types of medications.
But there’s another reason why you might be LOSING excess hair.
It’s something that commonly STRIKES seniors – something that might SURPRISE you!
I recently shared with you how too many of us don’t have enough stomach acid in our later years.
And low stomach acid can INTERFERE with your body’s ability to absorb certain vitamins and other nutrients. That’s one of the reasons why older folks tend to suffer from too many nutritional deficiencies.
Among the KEY nutrients that go missing when stomach acid is low are zinc and other hair growth-promoting minerals…
And B vitamins, like biotin and vitamin B12.
One of the signs of a zinc or B12 deficiency?
Thinning hair!
And if your body CAN’T properly absorb these nutrients… supplementing with MORE of them won’t really move the needle on your hair loss.
There’s more to this story…
Because a lack of stomach acid also SABOTAGES your ability to break down proteins from the food you eat into amino acids.
And that’s a CRUCIAL component to the formation of the “hair protein” known as keratin.
Keratin is comprised of amino acids like proline – and sure, you could boost your body’s supply by supplementing directly with L-proline capsules.
But a better way is to SHORE UP your stomach acid… which is also known as hydrochloric acid.
HCL supplements are widely available from quality makers at your local health food store or online.
To make sure you’re hitting all your bases, you’ll want to choose a product that combines it with digestive enzymes, like pepsin or betaine.
Digestive enzyme blends are also available… as are pancreatic enzyme formulas (which can also help your body use the protein you eat) and bile salts (which help you digest fat and use fatty acids like omega-3s).
To paving the way to a full head of hair,
