    Vitamin A Toxicity, also known as Hypervitaminosis A, occurs when there is an excessive accumulation of vitamin A in the body, typically due to overconsumption of supplements or certain animal-based foods. This condition can lead to symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, headaches, and even more severe effects like liver damage, bone abnormalities, and hair loss. It is important to maintain a balanced intake of vitamin A to avoid these adverse health effects.

      community Going to try and reverse MPB naturally.

      in Treatment  55 upvotes 2 years ago
      A user is trying to reverse male pattern baldness (MPB) naturally by taking high doses of Vitamin D, improving diet, exercising, reducing stress, and other lifestyle changes, but plans to use finasteride if no results are seen in 60 days. Other users are skeptical, advising medical treatments like finasteride and warning against potential vitamin D overdose and the ineffectiveness of natural remedies for genetic hair loss.
