The vitamin Dreceptor is involved in multiple body functions beyond calcium regulation, including immune response and rapid reactions not related to gene activity.
Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin DReceptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, including oral finasteride, topical minoxidil, and microneedling, and the potential impact of Vitamin D and folic aciddeficiencies on hair regrowth. It suggests that while male pattern baldness is the primary cause, addressing vitamin deficiencies may aid in improving regrowth.
The conversation discusses whether sunlight exposure affects hair growth or loss, with mixed anecdotes and theories but no clear consensus. Some suggest moderate sunlight can benefit hair by providing vitamin D, while others doubt its effectiveness compared to treatments like Minoxidil or finasteride.
The conversation discusses various supplements and vitamins like Vitamin D3, K2, Biotin, Iron, Zinc, and B Vitamins for improving hair health. It also mentions a combination of Tocotrienols, Pycnogenol, Saw Palmetto, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Stinging Nettle, and Myricetin for stabilizing hair, with Saw Palmetto, Pygeum, and Stinging Nettle noted for thickening hair despite side effects.
Topical Vitamin D3 may stimulate hair growth and has been used for Alopecia Areata. There is a question about the lack of research on its use for Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA).
