The menopausal transition

The mid-40s to 50s period is a rollercoaster ride for a woman with the female hormones going all over the place. With irregular menstrual cycles and skin sagging issues, many women also experience intense hair loss. The menopause journey includes hair loss for many, which brings distressing experiences in some, but don’t worry; if you’re feeling a loss of identity because of this issue, then we’re going to take you through a small guide that includes a better understanding of why menopausal hair loss is common, and with minimal natural home remedies, you can bring a possible change.

The connection between the two

Menopause hormones impact your hair follicles in the same manner as pregnancy hormones bring chaos. Our estrogen and progesterone begin to decline, and the crucial support of estrogen, which is required for healthy hair, begins to slowly disappear. At first, you may witness slow hair growth, followed by hair thinning, and then comes the moment of truth, when intense hair shedding starts. These hormonal fluctuations are most likely the major culprits, but high levels of stress and a lack of a balanced diet can also be other reasons. Let’s learn about some treatment options.

Collagen

Collagen is a type of protein that provides structure to our skin, hair, joints, and nails. During the crucial phase of menopause, collagen production naturally declines, which also leads to saggy skin and hair thinning. Supplementing your body with collagen peptides can help increase elasticity, hair strength, and hydration and promote an overall youthful appearance, which will also reduce your stress levels caused by witnessing excess hair shedding.

Omega-3 fatty acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are usually found in fish oil supplements, which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and are also popular to support skin and hair health. They reduce dryness from the scalp and skin, look out for inflammation, and seek to address common issues during the menopause cycle, which usually affects our skin and hair health. You can either directly consume seafood or opt for power gummies and capsules, given to you by your doctor or health professional.

Biotin

Biotin is known as vitamin B7, which plays another important role in maintaining our hair, skin, and nail health. It promotes the overall keratin production and helps keep our hair shiny, strong, and resilient. Opt for supplements with biotin, which will prevent the process of hair thinning and also improve the appearance of your hair and nails.

Vitamins E and D

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects your skin and hair from free radicals and improves hydration, giving your strands a certain texture and tone. On the other hand, vitamin D supports cell growth, metabolism, and repair. During menopause, because of hormonal changes, our skin and hair both get affected, losing out on moisture, which leads to damaged, dry, and brittle ends. But consumption of both these vitamins can maintain overall health, which also includes preventing your strands from breaking.
