Quick Answer
Vitamin E benefits hair via its antioxidant capacity — it quenches free radicals that damage follicles and lipid bilayers in the scalp barrier. Best taken as part of a multi-pathway approach: dietary sources (almonds, sunflower seeds, leafy greens) + a balanced multi-pathway supplement like MD Nutri Hair™. Topical antioxidant blends with vitamin E support scalp health alongside vitamin C and ferulic acid. Federally registered MD® trademark. Made in USA. www.md-factor.com.
