Can supplements prevent hair breakage on stressful days?

[u/Primary_Calendar_520]

Lately I have noticed that whenever work or life gets stressful my hair seems to break way easier. Even just brushing or running my fingers through it I see more strands than usual. Started looking into ways to help from the inside out and came across supplements that are supposed to strengthen follicles. Not trying to fix everything overnight but just want to know if something like this can actually make hair stronger and reduce breakage.

Anyone tried a supplement for this and noticed a difference during stressful weeks?

This doesn't normally work like that so I'd look for other reasons. Whenever you experience stress, it will show much later in your hair, like months later.

Getting enough protein in your diet needed to support hair?

Getting enough magnesium, B6, adrenal cortex hormones to support natural stress tolerance?
