Are you losing more hair than usual? This could be the reason - and the solution!

Many women (and men) experience increased hair loss at different stages of their lives – often without understanding why. Seeing more hair than usual on your hairbrush or in the shower can feel both frustrating and disturbing, but fortunately there are natural ways to regain healthier, fuller hair .

To understand what can help, we first need to look at what interferes with hair growth:

4 common causes of hair loss

1. Menopause
When hormones change, especially during menopause, it affects hair growth. The body produces less estrogen and more of the male hormone DHT – which makes hair follicles weaker and hair thinner.

👉 Magnesium can help balance your hormones. It supports the body in dealing with menopause and can reduce hormone-related hair loss.

2. Trauma and stress
Prolonged physical or psychological stress – such as illness, grief or stressful periods – can cause many hair follicles to go into resting mode (telogen effluvium). The result is often noticeably thinner hair over time, especially along the parting and temples.

👉 OptiMSM restores the body after stressful periods and provides building blocks for keratin, the protein your hair is made of.

A clinical study by Dr. Ronald M. Lawrence showed that 100% of participants taking MSM experienced increased hair growth compared to the placebo group, and 30% reported improved shine. Additionally, a more recent study (Natural Medicine Journal, 2023) showed that 1,000 mg of MSM daily for 120 days significantly increased hair density and diameter in people with stress-related hair loss.

👉 Triple magnesium from Aarja helps the body relax, supports sleep quality and helps regulate the nervous system - making it an important supplement for those who want to reduce stress and at the same time support hair health.

3. Chronic diseases, infections and inflammations
Autoimmune diseases (like alopecia areata or Hashimoto's), metabolic disorders, gastrointestinal problems (like celiac disease or IBS), and long-term infections can impair the body's ability to build and maintain healthy hair.

👉 Collagen 2 (BioCell®) contains hydrolyzed collagen, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate, which help reduce tissue inflammation, support the immune system and repair connective tissue – all important for skin, hair and joints. In addition, collagen increases blood circulation in the scalp, especially in combination with Nordic pine bark extract , which supports microcirculation and helps hair follicles get better access to oxygen and nutrients.

👉 OptiMSM + C + Blueberries helps the body reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, which are often associated with autoimmune processes and chronic diseases – and it provides important building blocks for keratin, the protein that hair is made of. In addition, OptiMSM can help with gastrointestinal challenges.

4. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
Hair follicles need a steady supply of nutrients such as biotin, iron, zinc and vitamin D. Deficiencies result in poorer hair quality, reduced growth – and an increased risk of hair loss.

👉 Biotin (vitamin B7) is particularly important for the production of keratin – the main protein in hair. You can find biotin in our complete multivitamin supplement Mind+Body Boost , which is designed to support energy, immune function and, not least, hair, skin and nails.

👉 Iron deficiency is a common but often overlooked cause of hair loss – especially among women. An important tip: Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron in the body. That is why it is valuable that OptiMSM + C + Blueberry contains natural vitamin C that supports iron absorption, while also contributing to collagen synthesis and immune defense.

In addition, OptiMSM supports healthy gut function, which is essential for the body to be able to absorb nutrients efficiently from both food and supplements. Good gut health = better nutrient absorption = stronger hair.

👉 Vitamin D helps keep hair follicles active. A deficiency can cause hair to lose its growth potential and fall out earlier than it should.

In addition to providing your body with the right nutrients, there are many things you can do in your daily life to support healthy hair growth and reduce hair loss. Small, simple steps can make a big difference over time – for both your scalp and your hair.

✅ 7 daily habits that prevent hair loss

1. Massage your scalp to increase blood circulation.
   
   
2. Avoid combing your hair when it is wet.
   
   
3. Use mild, sulfate-free hair products.
   
   
4. Sleep with your hair loose – preferably on a silk pillowcase.
   
   
5. Avoid hot tools and chemicals where possible.
   
   
6. Reduce stress through sleep, breathing, and relaxation.
   
   
7. Supplement with documented nutritional supplements such as OptiMSM, Triple Magnesium, Vitamin D3, Mind+Body Boost and Collagen 2 with pine bark .

In summary

Hair loss is often a sign that the body is out of balance. By understanding the underlying causes – whether it’s hormones, stress, illness or nutritional deficiencies – you can take steps that actually work, and support your body back to healthier, stronger and fuller hair growth.
