I've been hitting the gym regularly and for the past five months, I've added whey protein supplements to my routine. I'm averaging about 50-70 grams of protein a day. Ever since I started, I've noticed a major hair fall situation. Could this be because of the protein I'm taking, or is there something else going on here? Also, what can I do to get my hair back to its normal state or encourage regrowth?
There are many reasons for hair fall, visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management and consume balanced diet with extra protein for better results
