    TLDR Certain dietary supplements can improve hair health.
    The document reviewed various nutrition-based therapies for enhancing hair growth, color, and quality. It highlighted studies on spermidine, which was shown to prolong the anagen phase of hair follicles in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. Miliacin encapsulated by polar lipids was found to stimulate cell proliferation in the hair bulb and improve telogen effluvium in women. Additionally, the document discussed the potential benefits of fenugreek, soy isoflavones, and marine extracts in treating hair thinning and androgenetic alopecia. The findings suggested that certain dietary supplements could positively impact hair health, although the effectiveness varied across different studies and compounds.
