There are many vitamin and nutrient supplements that can help improve facial hair growth and health. TargetWoman states that a main reason for slow hair growth is lack of vital nutrients in the diet. However, it is not always easy to get all the necessary nutrients through diet alone. The best solution is to increase your nutrient intake by incorporating supplements aimed at improving facial hair growth, notes the website Hair Loss Information.

Vitamin B2

Riboflavin, also known as B2, is made in the intestines. This nutrient is easily absorbed; however, very small quantities can be stored in the body. Consequently, says Hair Loss Information, there is a constant need for this nutrient in the body. It is needed so the body can further activate vitamin B6, another hair-healthy supplement. Keep vitamin B2 supplements in the dark, as riboflavin is easily destroyed by an exposure to light, states MedlinePlus.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is thought to improve hair growth as well as produce melanin, the pigment in hair which provides it with color. B6 is a key component in the health of red blood metabolism and cell growth, because it is responsible for the production of hemoglobin. According to Hair Loss Information, hemoglobin is a compound in the red blood cells that carries oxygen to reproductive tissue. According to Naturo Doc, poor blood circulation can inhibit hair growth.

Vitamin H

Vitamin H, also known as biotin, is crucial for facial hair growth, says Hair Loss Information. It is so important that many dermatologists prescribe biotin supplements as a treatment for patients experiencing hair loss. Biotin supplements can also be purchased over-the-counter, and biotin is an ingredient in many shampoos. However, TargetWoman recommends to consult your physician before taking any biotin supplements for hair growth.
