Does Shilajit Cause Hair Loss? - #9129

I’ve been considering using shilajit for its various health benefits, but I came across some discussions online suggesting that it might contribute to hair loss. Since I’m already concerned about maintaining healthy hair, I want to explore whether shilajit causes hair loss or if this claim is a misunderstanding. Understanding its actual impact on hair health will help me decide whether to include it in my routine. Shilajit is often praised for its mineral-rich composition and ability to promote overall health. One of its benefits is said to be improving hair quality by addressing nutrient deficiencies. Could it actually strengthen hair follicles and reduce hair fall? If so, what mechanisms in shilajit, such as fulvic acid or trace minerals, contribute to hair growth and scalp health? On the other hand, I’ve read anecdotal reports suggesting that shilajit may cause temporary hair shedding when first introduced into the diet. Is there any scientific evidence supporting this claim? Could this shedding be part of a natural hair cycle, or does it indicate a reaction to shilajit? Are there specific groups of people, such as those with sensitive scalps or hormonal imbalances, who might experience hair loss as a side effect? Another concern is whether shilajit’s detoxifying properties could indirectly affect hair health. If shilajit promotes detoxification, could it temporarily lead to changes in the body that impact hair growth? For example, does flushing out toxins affect nutrient absorption or hormonal balance, which are critical for healthy hair? I’m also curious about how shilajit interacts with other supplements or medications. If someone is already using products or treatments for hair health, could combining them with shilajit lead to unintended side effects? Should shilajit be avoided by individuals with conditions like alopecia or thyroid imbalances that are closely linked to hair loss? Lastly, I want to know the best practices for using shilajit to promote healthy hair. Should it be taken orally for systemic benefits, or can it be applied topically to the scalp for targeted results? Are there specific dosages or forms of shilajit, such as resin or capsules, that are better suited for improving hair health? Doctor, could you clarify whether shilajit has a direct or indirect effect on hair loss? Are there safer alternatives for promoting hair health if shilajit isn’t suitable? Your guidance will help me make an informed decision about using shilajit while prioritizing my hair care needs.
