    TLDR Nutritional supplements can help manage hair loss and promote hair growth by strengthening hair roots and countering harmful effects of pollution, smoking, and deficiencies in vitamins and minerals.
    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.

      Hair loss treatments discussed include minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. Salon products and supplements generally don't work for hair regrowth unless there's a severe nutritional deficiency, while hormonal treatments like estrogen and spironolactone can be effective.

      The conversation is about someone who has been taking finasteride for hair loss without success, considering switching to dutasteride or giving up treatment. Suggestions include trying dutasteride, microneedling, infrared therapy, multivitamins, and high-concentration topical solutions combining finasteride and dutasteride.
