community My Theory Regarding a Cause and Cure for Androgenetic Alopecia in Treatment 96 upvotes 5 years ago Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
