Is it better to take Vitamin E orally or apply it topically for hair loss?Oral mixed tocotrienols have one small randomized human trial reporting increased hair count; topical vitamin E has no human trial for pattern hair loss, only a 1965 rabbit study. Neither is approved for hair loss, and high-dose vitamin E carries bleeding risk.
Vitamin E is praised for improving hair and skin, especially by someone who changed their lifestyle. Opinions differ on the impact of animal-based proteins on hair health.
Topical antioxidants like vitamin E and C may help with hair health, but their effectiveness in stopping hair loss is debated. Some suggest adding azelaic acid, zinc sulfate, and tretinoin to enhance treatments like minoxidil.
Vitamins and minerals like vitamin E, zinc, and iron may aid hair growth, especially in cases of deficiency. Pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto, horsetail, and AminoMar show some promise for improving hair health and count.
Anti-inflammatories like curcumin, quercetin, and vitamin E may help with hair loss when used alongside treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Ketoconazole is also noted for reducing scalp inflammation and improving scalp health.
The user is experimenting with a homemade topical dutasteride formulation to reduce hair loss while minimizing systemic absorption, using MCT oil, almond oil, vitamin E, tea tree oil, and lavender oil. They are monitoring hair growth and side effects, particularly focusing on sexual health, and are open to feedback on their approach.
