The present invention provides novel compositions comprising a nutritional supplement containing vitamin D-3 (cholecalciferol) and other supporting nutrients (i.e., fat-soluble vitamins A and E) to be administered orally via capsules to human subjects for the prophylaxis and mitigation of hair thinning and hair loss in both men and women. Colloidal silicon dioxide functions to form a nanoparticulate suspension and acts as a viscosifier to thicken the oil(s) used in the capsule filling operation. The colloidal silica contains silicon which acts as a nutrient to help strengthen existing hair, and also functions as a microencapsulation agent, which can incorporate vitamins A and E into its porous structure by sonication.
A nutritional supplement for providing nutritional support for the mitigation of hair loss and hair thinning in men and women and comprising:
A method for reducing or preventing hair loss or hair thinning in human subjects comprising the step of administering to said human a formulation comprising vitamin D3 as one of the active agents, wherein the administering of said nutritional formulation is carried out so that the overall dose of said active agent is in the range of from about 3,000 I.U. to about 5,000 I.U. of total vitamin D3 per day.
