  2. verified: Pumpkin Seeds provide Zinc which leads to less hair fall.
    Pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc, and zinc plays a crucial role in hair follicle health and can help reduce hair shedding. Zinc deficiency is often linked to hair thinning.
  3. verified: Flax Seeds provide Omega 3 for a strong scalp.
    Flaxseeds are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), which nourish hair follicles, reduce scalp inflammation, and improve blood flow, contributing to a healthy scalp.
  4. verified: Chia Seeds provide Protein for thick hair.
    Chia seeds contain high-quality plant protein, which is essential for keratin production, the building block of hair. Adequate protein intake is crucial for hair growth, strength, and thickness.
  5. verified: Sunflower Seeds provide Vitamin E for shine & strength.
    Sunflower seeds are a good source of Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps improve blood circulation to the scalp, protects hair from damage, and contributes to shine and strength.
  6. verified: Sesame Seeds (Til) provide Iron + Calcium for less breakage.
    Sesame seeds are a good source of iron and calcium. Iron carries oxygen to hair follicles, and deficiency is a common cause of hair loss and dullness. Calcium supports scalp circulation and follicle strength, contributing to overall hair health and reducing breakage.
