February 2019
in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology”
TLDR Low zinc and biotin levels linked to male hair loss; supplements may help.
The study aimed to evaluate the levels of serum biotin and zinc in male androgenetic alopecia (MAGA) patients. The study found that MAGA patients had significantly lower serum zinc levels than the control group, and suboptimal biotin levels were found in patients. The study recommends adding zinc and biotin supplements to MAGA treatment to improve hair quality and texture.

Correcting nutrient deficiencies may help with hair loss, but the benefits of supplements without a deficiency are uncertain and could be harmful.

Biotin supplements may improve hair and nail growth in people with certain deficiencies or conditions, but there's not enough evidence to recommend it for healthy individuals.
research Serum biotin levels in women complaining of hair loss
Biotin deficiency is not a major cause of hair loss in women, so biotin supplements are not likely to be an effective hair loss treatment.

Lower hair zinc and copper levels found in Turkish males with hair loss; higher BMI linked to less hair zinc.
