Hair Calcium Paradox: A Report of Two Cases of Controlled Intermittent Dietary Calcium, Magnesium, and Vitamin D Supplementation

Vitamin D may counteract DHT and help with hair growth, as seen in mice and human hair cultures. Some users discuss using Vitamin D, magnesium, and other supplements for hair health, while others humorously note the success in mice.

A 20-year-old is experiencing hair thinning due to vitamin D deficiency and has completed a vitamin D prescription without seeing improvement. Suggestions include waiting a few months for potential regrowth or considering treatments like minoxidil or finasteride for androgenetic alopecia.

Vitamin D supplementation may have led to slight hair regrowth and density improvement. Other treatments discussed include finasteride, minoxidil, and maintaining optimal vitamin D levels.

Vitamin D tests like D2, D3, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D are discussed before starting hair treatment. Vitamin D can be obtained from food, but overdose has side effects.

Vitamin D deficiency is linked to hair loss, and supplementation with vitamin D can improve conditions like androgenic alopecia and telogen effluvium. Users discussed various dosages of vitamin D, emphasizing the importance of getting blood tests to determine the appropriate amount.

Low vitamin D levels can negatively impact hair growth, and supplementing with vitamin D, along with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, may help improve hair health. Quitting smoking and ensuring adequate vitamin B12 and K2 intake are also suggested to support hair regrowth.
