Her Alopecia Womens Hair Loss Forums

I've been seeing this article a lot, looks like it may be a press release. http://www.prohealth.com/library/showar ... t=CFIDS_FM

I'm considering trying to get some I can apply topically. I already take L-Tyrosine supplements and I added L-Lysine about a month ago.

This page on amino acids says Carnitine helps the body absorb L-Lysine. http://www.healingwithnutrition.com/aminoacid.html

Interestingly, I think the first trigger for my hairloss happened in 2004 / 2005. During that time, I changed my diet dramatically and quit eating dairy and red meat. So maybe I should be taking some sort of carnitine anyway?

Do any of you use amino acids and if so, have they helped?

hmmmm. Interesting. I'll need to check this out.

I know it's supposedly handy in helping the body burn fat stores.

I've been considering trying it again for that (weight is creeping back up) so if it helps hair then woot!
