1 citations , January 2018 in “Journal of Steroids & Hormonal Science”

This study observed no significant difference in vitamin D levels between children with alopecia areata and controls, but higher complete improvement in alopecia was noted among patients with vitamin D deficiency undergoing oral vitamin D treatment.

research The application of an oral zinc tolerance test to assess zinc absorption from three different dietary sources in the dog

March 1995 in “Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science”

This review discusses zinc's role in dog metabolism and suggests that zinc from amino acid chelates might be better absorbed than from inorganic sources, but reports no new experimental results.

research The application of an oral zinc tolerance test to assess zinc absorption from three different dietary sources in the dog

March 1995 in “Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science”

This review discusses zinc's role in dog nutrition, emphasizing that zinc absorption may be improved when provided as an amino acid chelate rather than an inorganic source, but reports no new results.

community Give some opinion almost 2 and half months in the process.

in Is this regrowth? 8 upvotes 1 year ago

The user is using 2.5mg oral finasteride, 2.5mg oral minoxidil, 5% topical minoxidil, multivitamins, calcium, vitamin K2 D3, iron, theanine, and a derma stamp every 4 days for hair regrowth. They note improvements after almost 3 months, but others suggest results take longer.

community Potassium and oral min need each other??

5 upvotes 1 year ago

Oral minoxidil may require potassium for effectiveness, and diuretics taken for water retention might affect this process. The user plans to start taking potassium to address potential issues with minoxidil's effectiveness.

community Being Safe on Oral Minoxidil: tl;dr on the literature.

51 upvotes 1 year ago

Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss but can cause cardiovascular side effects, such as pericardial effusion, especially in those with genetic predispositions. Starting with low doses and monitoring cardiovascular health are advised to reduce risks.

community Study shows significant improvement in hair with topical minoxidil and oral Vitamin d compared to just topical minoxidil alone.

in Minoxidil 206 upvotes 1 year ago

Taking oral Vitamin D alongside topical minoxidil improves hair density more than using minoxidil alone. Users discuss Vitamin D dosages, potential benefits, and the importance of combining it with Vitamin K2.

community The Biggest Concern That I Have For Oral Minoxidil: Cardiac Hypertrophy

26 upvotes 3 years ago

Oral minoxidil can cause serious heart issues like cardiac hypertrophy and arrhythmias, prompting some users to reduce dosage or switch to topical treatments. Despite significant hair regrowth, side effects such as shortness of breath and chest pains are common concerns.

signaling protein that, when suppressed, may grow hair by reducing inflammation and stem cell loss

learn Finasteride

Topical or oral? Choosing between pills and lotions according to your case. Topical finasteride offers localized treatment with fewer systemic side effects than oral finasteride.

learn Metformin

Is metformin used topically for hair loss, or only as an oral tablet? Approved metformin products are oral tablets only; there is no approved topical metformin for hair loss. Published human reports of topical use are a handful of uncontrolled, pharmacy-compounded case reports in scarring alopecia, and the most-cited clinical series actually used the oral drug.

learn Sulforaphane

Is sulforaphane used in oral supplements or topical hair treatments? Sulforaphane is primarily used in oral supplements, not topical hair treatments.

learn white tea

Is white tea more effective in topical hair products or as an oral supplement for hair growth? Neither topical nor oral white tea has any human clinical trial behind it for hair growth. Topical use has a more direct mechanistic rationale, but the only verifiable studies are a cell-culture EGCG experiment and a pharmacokinetic study with no hair outcomes.

learn Estradiol

How does topical Estradiol compare to oral Estradiol in treating alopecia? Topical estradiol delivers hormone to the scalp with less systemic exposure, but evidence is thin and it is still a hormone. It needs a doctor's supervision, and people with estrogen-sensitive cancers must not use it without medical approval.
