Do you think supplements can cause hair loss, i must admit i take a shedload of vitamins and always have done so, but suddenly my hair is falling out in handfuls and its upsetting me terribly, or do you think its stress related because I've had a very difficult couple of years.
i've always had a good head of hair ,albeit very fine, and this is affecting me badly, so much so i don't want to leave the house.

l think it can be either stress, being low and run down or side effects of medication. I lost hair through medication. I have spent lots of money on special shampoo for hair growth but nothing seems to work for me, only volume shampoo and conditioner helps. It’s not very nice for a woman to have this.
Sometimes if your hair is falling out in handfuls it’s more than just normal hair loss, your thyroid can affect hair loss, I’d have a chat with your dr, and maybe have some blood tests
I'm so sorry to hear this - I can understand how upsetting it is. If you are able to get a doctors appointment, it might be a good idea to see if they can help. The people that deal with problem hair are called trichologists (or something like that). And yes, stress doesn't help, so do what you can to reduce it. Best of luck!
hi, it’s worth seeing the doctor for blood tests to check your thyroid ect, stress of course can cause it and under eating. Most supplements don’t actually do anything for you unless you have blood tests to show you are low in something
