Effect of Nutrient Antioxidants on Oxidative Stress Indicators in Patients with Alopecia Areata

This clinical study investigated the role of nutrient antioxidants (vitamins A, E, and C) in protecting against oxidative stress and their effect on hair growth in patients with alopecia areata. Over a 2-month treatment period, antioxidants significantly increased body antioxidant defense levels, elevated zinc levels, decreased copper levels, and corrected trace metal imbalances. The study concluded that antioxidants have clinical significance in improving hair growth in alopecia areata patients, likely due to the inhibition of oxidative stress associated with the disease.
