Dr. Maya Rozman addresses widespread misconceptions about hair loss, particularly the roles of coffee, biotin, and gelatin. She explains that hair loss is often linked to nutritional deficiencies, especially in iron, protein, zinc, and other essential nutrients. However, she emphasizes that if these nutrients are already sufficient in the diet, taking additional supplements will not necessarily improve hair growth.

Rozman clarifies that biotin, often marketed as a key supplement for hair health, is not universally beneficial unless there is a specific deficiency. She warns against falling for marketing tricks that promote supplements without scientific backing. The doctor advises focusing on a balanced diet that meets all nutritional needs as the foundation for healthy hair.

Before purchasing supplements, Rozman recommends consulting with a healthcare professional to assess actual deficiencies rather than relying on popular myths. Her insights aim to help consumers make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary spending on ineffective products.
