Reply To: Hair loss

Hey, Brandi! Hair loss is SOMEWHAT normal, but in extreme cases, you might be deficient in a wide variety of nutrients. Reminder, I can’t provide individualized guidance here since I would need to do a nutrition assessment to give you an accurate answer for you!

In general, you could be deficient in biotin, iron, vitamin A, zinc, selenium, niacin, or overall inadequate protein intake. Your prenatal vitamin should have all of these with the exception of protein.
