In the may issue of Men's Health they say that "Adding 1.5 tablespoons of flaxseed to your diet could save your hair. Taiwanese researchers found that 50 milligrams a day of lignanas, the disease-fighting compounds in flaxseed, slowed hair loss in 9 out of 10 participants in 6 months."


Has anyone heard anything about this? Thought it was interesting and wanted to see if anyone had any info or comments on this.

Hmmmm if it was that easy there would be no need for this forum my friend.

Interesting, Hurley. Thanks for posting that.

I do know that Omega 3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory effects- so you never know...

Flaxseed is very beneficial for over all health and could have a positive effect on hair loss. Either way it doesn't hurt to incorporate it into your diet.
