Treatment of Vitamin D and Calcium to Children with Hair Defluvium

Vitamin D3's impact on hair loss is debated, with some users suggesting it may not significantly help. It's recommended to check vitamin D levels and consult a doctor for appropriate dosage, while treatments like finasteride are considered more effective for hair loss.

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.

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.

A user with diffused thinning hair has been using topical minoxidil for over three years with little improvement and is now taking finasteride regularly. They were found to be vitamin D deficient and are on a 20,000 IU weekly prescription, seeking advice on whether correcting the deficiency can aid hair regrowth.

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 deficiency may contribute to hair loss, but correcting it alone doesn't guarantee regrowth. Users report mixed results with supplements and treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
