A Scientific Hypothesis on the Role of Nutritional Supplements for Effective Management of Hair Loss and Promoting Hair Regrowth

The document from May 10, 2018, proposed a hypothesis that nutritional supplements can manage hair loss and promote hair growth. It challenged the belief that only androgens and DHT cause hair loss, highlighting other factors like oxidative stress from pollution, smoking, pesticides, and internal metabolic issues. It noted that deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, which can alter immune response, were detected in hair loss patients. The author suggested focusing on strengthening hair roots and enhancing hair growth, discussing a low dose comprehensive cyclical nutrient therapy used in their practice. The paper also emphasized the role of antioxidants in countering DHT and ROS's impact on altering immune response and promoting inflammation. A clinical trial with 100 patients in each group showed an average improvement in hair density of 18% at 2 months and 30% at 4 months, and an improvement in calibre of 9% at 2 months and 21% at 4 months.
