research Hair follicle expression of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 receptors during the murine hair cycle
Vitamin D receptors in hair follicles change with the hair cycle, affecting hair growth.
research Vitamin D-dependent rickets type II. Defective induction of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-24-hydroxylase by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in cultured skin fibroblasts.
Measuring 24-OHase induction helps identify defects in vitamin D processing and predict treatment response.
research The vitamin D receptor functions as a transcription regulator in the absence of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
The vitamin D receptor can regulate genes and affect hair and hormone levels without its usual activator.

Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
community Dutasteride likely reduces Bone Mineral Density
Dutasteride may reduce bone mineral density, but there's no increased risk of osteoporosis or fractures compared to finasteride. Users suggest resistance training to counter potential bone effects.
community 1.25 mg Fin for a year, and very inconsistent oral min for 3 months.
The user experienced significant hair regrowth using 1.25 mg finasteride daily and inconsistent oral minoxidil, with no side effects reported. Finasteride primarily increased hair density, while minoxidil contributed to thicker, healthier hair.
community 27M 1.25 fin 5 months, 1ml 5% min 2x daily 2 months
A 27-year-old male has been using 1.25mg finasteride for 5 months and 5% minoxidil twice daily for 2 months, along with biotin and vitamin D supplements, to improve hair growth. He reports some progress and side effects like reduced libido, and is considering switching to oral minoxidil and possibly adding dutasteride after a year.
community 1.5 Months apart with 1.25mg Finasteride and 2.5mg Oral Minoxidil
A 20-year-old male experienced significant hair regrowth after 1.5 months using 1.25 mg Finasteride and 2.5 mg Oral Minoxidil, despite ongoing shedding. He reported minor side effects from Minoxidil, such as chest discomfort and knee swelling, but none from Finasteride.
