i think low iron and zinc causes the hair to shed. also iron promotes healthy blood flow etc. so that's good for your scalp. i'm sure someone will post some research info on this stuff for you.

You're right on the mark, Islandgirl:

Iron Deficiency: A deficiency of iron in the diet results in a condition called anemia characterized by reduced amount of red blood cells, and can in some cases contribute to hair loss. Anemic people generally appear pale and weak. Women with heavy menstrual flows lose iron contained in their menses. If their diets do not supply adequate iron to replace the iron lost each month, an iron deficiency and thinning hair can result. Eating acidic foods cooked in cast iron cookware (such as tomato sauce prepared in a cast iron pot), increasing consumption of iron-containing foods (such as dark green leafy vegatables and red meat), or taking iron containing nutritional supplements, usually restores normal hair growth in those suffering hair loss due to anemia. Anemia is easily diagnosed with a laboratory blood test.
