It has been long recognized that hair is a living part of your body, just as your skin, teeth or nails, and that it must be fed by your blood stream. Your blood can not deliver to your hair all the required nutrients unless it is supplied with all these nutrients from your food. But if your diet is deficient in some of the required vitamins, minerals, trace elements and proteins, then your blood will be deficient in these elements, too, and will not be able to supply them to your hair.
This is self evident—but this is only half of the truth!
It is often said that “you are what you eat,” which is also only half of the truth. The fact is that you are not what you eat, but what you assimilate. You may eat the most nutritious and best-balanced diet in the world, but if your digestive and assimilative system is out of order and can not assimilate the required nutrients and send them to the blood, then you still can be suffering from malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies.
The same is true in regard to hair growth. Books have been written on the relationship between nutrition and hair growth. You need such and such food factors in order to supply your hair with all the nutritive elements it needs for healthy growth. But if your blood vessels and the small blood capillaries in your scalp are so constricted that they are unable to supply blood to the hair follicles, then even if you eat the best food in the world and take all the extra nutrients required for hair growth in the form of vitamin and mineral supplements, it won’t do your hair a bit of good! Unless you improve the blood circulation in the scalp so that the required nutrients will be able to get to the hair roots, all your attempts to “feed your hair from within” will be futile.
That’s why the Swedish H-Pantoten tablets have been so successful. Not only do they contain the vital nutritive elements, known to science today to be essential for healthy hair growth, but they also contain certain B-complex vitamins known to be able to dilate the blood vessels so that these nutrients can travel through the blood stream to the hair roots.
