Hair loss? Loss of hair color? Can it be caused by a Biotin deficiency? Some experts say it can. Although Biotin comes in a supplement (liquid and pill form) it is most effective when delivered directly from your diet. Ask your nutritionist what amount of Biotin she recommends for you and consider combining it with a Zinc supplement to increase its potency.

To encourage hair regrowth when hair loss and thinning are an issue consider adding the following biotin-rich foods to your diet:

FOODS RICH IN BIOTIN
Egg Yolks
Bananas
Cauliflower
Nuts (Almonds, Walnuts, Pecans & Peanuts)
Raspberries
Avocado
Beans
Mushrooms
Whole-Grains
Brewers Yeast
Salmon

BIOTIN-RICH SMOOTHIE RECIPE
1 banana
1 cup raspberries (frozen)
1 t brewers Yeast
1 raw egg yolk
1 T almond butter

Blend & enjoy!
