Three Reasons Why Those Hair Vitamins You're Taking Are for White Girls, Not Menopausal Queens Like Us

Reason one.
They ignore your vitamin D crisis.
Listen. 76% of Black women are vitamin D deficient. Our melanin blocks vitamin D absorption.
After 45, when hormones attack follicles, this deficiency becomes critical.
Your follicles can't grow hair without vitamin D.
Generic vitamins contain doses for women who sunbathe, not us.
Reason two.
They overdose you on biotin while ignoring what you need.
Every hair vitamin throws massive biotin at you. 10,000 micrograms. Even 50,000.
Result? Cystic acne at 57 years old.
Meanwhile, they ignore what matters for hormonal hair loss:
Saw palmetto to block DHT.
Iron for our deficiencies.
B vitamins for estrogen loss.
Wrong problem. Wrong tools.
Reason three
The most insulting one.
They pretend your hair is like everyone else's.
Black women's follicles are structurally different. Curved, not straight. More fragile at roots.
When estrogen drops after 45, our follicles don't just shrink. They twist. They weaken. That's why edges go first.
Why crowns thin in that pattern we recognize.
Generic vitamins can't fix what they don't acknowledge.
YOU'RE NOT IMAGINING IT
Those vitamins made for 25-year-old Becky? Not made for menopausal queens.
But when supplements are formulated for Black women over 45...
With therapeutic vitamin D...
With hormonal support, not just biotin...
That's when you win. Try Lumin. Your crown's waited long enough.
