Millet Seed Extract
Millet seed extract is a plant extract used in hair and nail supplements, usually combined with biotin, zinc and other nutrients. It supplies amino acids and minerals that the hair shaft is built from.
What Millet Seed Extract Is Taken For
- Hair thinning and hair strength supplements
- Brittle nails
- Combination products for hair, skin and nails
- Support during periods of increased hair shedding
Common Side Effects
- Mild stomach upset
- Nausea
- Allergic reaction, uncommonly
Precautions
Hair supplements take three to six months to show any effect, because hair grows slowly, so patience is needed and results vary. They help most where the problem is a nutritional gap. Sudden shedding, patchy loss, a receding pattern, or hair loss with tiredness, weight change or period changes should be assessed properly, since iron deficiency, thyroid disease and PCOS are common causes here.
