This study concluded that mineral element deficiencies in pregnant women may be alleviated with targeted nutrient supplementation, although mutual resistance and promotional effects among the supplements were observed.

This study found that six-month supplementation with fish-derived collagen peptides, calcium, and vitamin D3 improved skin hydration and elasticity and reduced hair loss in menopausal women, with collagen playing a dominant role in enhancing skin elasticity.

In a case study of vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A, researchers observed that while active vitamin D treatment failed to improve bone and laboratory abnormalities, oral calcium lactate significantly ameliorated these issues, although skin and hair problems remained unresponsive.

In this study, perimenopausal women with initially high hair concentrations of calcium, magnesium, and silicon experienced a decrease in these elements after intermittent dietary supplementation with calcium, magnesium, silicon, and vitamin D.

In this study, the researchers found that over half of the tested calcium food supplements had calcium levels exceeding the amounts declared by their manufacturers, indicating a need for better quality control.

The authors of this study concluded that higher calcium levels in hair may indicate early metabolic changes leading to osteopenia or osteoporosis in menopausal women, even before detectable by standard DEXA imaging.

This study found that calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D supplementation altered hair calcium and magnesium content in perimenopausal women, suggesting an early indicator of metabolic changes linked to skeletal mineralization.

Hair can show daily calcium changes, linked to body calcium levels and influenced by hormones, and can help assess calcium metabolism issues.

In this study, researchers highlighted that in sarcoidosis, macrophages in granulomas can produce vitamin D, potentially leading to calcium imbalances, where vitamin D supplementation may cause hypercalcemia, necessitating careful laboratory assessment before supplementation.

This report highlights that 49.4% of U.S. patients with skin issues use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), with 6% leveraging it specifically for their skin conditions, including treatments like herbal, vitamin, and mineral supplementation for alopecia.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly lower serum vitamin D levels and higher odds of vitamin D deficiency, but no significant difference in serum calcium levels, compared to controls.

This abstract describes a program with various presentations and events focused on Canadian excellence in rheumatology but reports no new research findings.

This review discusses current pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment strategies for PCOS, emphasizing the need for a personalized, multimodal approach due to incomplete understanding of the syndrome's pathogenesis.

Patients with Focal Dermal Hypoplasia often experience skin, nail, hair, and bone issues, and may benefit from calcium and vitamin D supplements.

This report describes a unique case of hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR) in a dog, caused by a VDR gene mutation resulting in severe hypocalcemia and bone issues, which presented with symptoms similar to those observed in humans.

This case report describes a rare instance of pediatric idiopathic hypoparathyroidism in an 11-year-old Saudi boy, characterized by extensive cranial calcifications beyond the basal ganglia, with no other neurological abnormalities.

This case report presents the dental challenges faced by a child with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, including early onset rickets, alopecia, and specific dental abnormalities, emphasizing the need for comprehensive, multidisciplinary management.

In this case report, a four-year-old girl was diagnosed with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, manifesting as diffuse alopecia, frontal bossing, hypoplastic teeth, and skin-colored papules, due to a genetic mutation causing resistance to 1.25-dihydroxy vitamin D.

This study found that patients with premature hair graying had lower serum levels of iron, copper, and calcium, which correlated with the severity of graying.

This study reported significantly lower levels of serum iron, ferritin, and calcium in young patients with premature gray hair compared to controls, implying that supplementation might prevent further graying.

This study found that daily supplementation with 10 to 20 mg of calcium pantothenate led to complete recovery and significant improvement in appetite and growth in young pigs with pantothenic acid deficiency.

This review discusses the potential role of vitamin D supplementation as a therapeutic option for alopecia areata due to its immune-regulating effects and reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses how nutritional and environmental factors, along with antioxidant supplementation, may improve hair growth by mitigating the effects of androgens and reports no new clinical results.

This study explores premature graying of hair, outlining potential causes such as genetic factors, nutritional deficiencies, and autoimmune disorders, and evaluates various management strategies including nutritional supplements, pharmacotherapy, and addressing underlying conditions.

This article reviews current hair loss treatments, proposing a hypothesis that a combination of drugs, supplements, and therapies may effectively manage hair loss, but presents no new clinical results.

In this study of hair loss treatments, patients using a combined regimen of minoxidil, finasteride, and supplements showed significant hair density and caliber improvements within 2-4 months, sustaining these gains for up to two years.

In this study, reduced serum levels of iron, copper, and calcium were associated with premature graying of hair, suggesting that supplementation might help, but more research is needed to fully understand the relationship.

This study found that vitamin D supplementation significantly improved ovulation rates in PCOS patients undergoing treatment with clomiphene citrate.

This review examines the evidence on nutritional and herbal supplements for women's health, emphasizing the need for more long-term studies to develop evidence-based guidelines for personalized supplementation.

This study found that unilateral neutron irradiation in pigs significantly decreased the uptake of radioactive zinc in blood, impaired growth, and led to decreased organ weights and hair pigmentation changes on the irradiated side.
