Hair loss after childbirth?

Following my pregnancy, I am losing my hair a lot, are there any supplements/vitamins that would help with hair regrowth? Thank you.

Hello Mrs..
Hormonal changes during pregnancy often encourage increased hair growth and volume. After delivery, these hormone levels tend to return to pre-pregnancy levels. This can be perceived as hair loss, when in fact hair returns to its pre-pregnancy volume. It is not necessarily a loss of your "basic hair" so to speak
Whether you are breastfeeding or not, you could try a vitamin supplement such as Centrum pre-natal, Materna or other. Be aware, however, that if your hair loss is not related to a vitamin or element deficiency, these supplements are unlikely to help you much. I would advise you to first consult your pharmacist who will evaluate if there is a possible interaction between these supplements and any medication you may be taking
I am always available if you have any further questions!
