A user improved their hair health by taking 50,000 IU of vitaminD3 weekly due to a deficiency. Others discussed the potential link between vitaminD and hair growth, with some sharing similar experiences and emphasizing the importance of monitoring vitaminD levels and consulting with doctors.
Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between VitaminD Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically minoxidil, vitaminD supplements, and the potential impact of iron overload. The user experienced hair regrowth with high-dose vitaminD but faced hair thinning again after reducing the dosage, and is now exploring the role of iron overload in hair loss.
The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.
A user is making a 2-Deoxy-D-ribose solution and asks if it can be put into an oil instead of a gel, considering adding hydrocortisone and retinoic acid. They seek advice on the best carrier oil for hair growth.
