Does fish oil omga-3 fatty acids speed up hair growth ?
Not really. Speculation has been made that omega-3s from fish oil, nourishes the hair follicles. Without enough omega-3 in your diet, your hair may grow dry and unmanageable. Fish oils may make your hair healthier due to the omega 3 fatty acids, but it will NOT make your hair grow faster. Some cases of androgenic alopecia may involve inflammation of the hair follicle. Since fish oils have an anti-inflammatory effect on the body, you may think you could use fish oils to counter the effects of inflammatory androgenic alopecia. Unfortunately, there are no published medical studies to support this hypothesis. Eating a healthy balanced diet is probably the only way you can help your body optimize hair growth.
