    fat-soluble nutrient crucial for vision, immunity, and skin health

    Vitamin A is a fat-soluble nutrient essential for maintaining healthy vision, immune function, and skin health. It exists in two primary forms: retinoids (found in animal products) and carotenoids (found in plant-based foods). Deficiency in vitamin A can lead to vision problems, including night blindness, and can compromise the immune system.

      The user believes Retrograde Alopecia may be linked to vitamin imbalances, specifically from taking too much Vitamin E, A, Zinc, and Selenium, and suggests it could be a middle ground between Androgenic Alopecia and Telogen Effluvium. Treatments for hair loss mentioned include Androgen inhibitors and improving lifestyle factors like nutrition and sleep, with topical melatonin also recommended for Retrograde Alopecia.
