November 2022 in “Journal of the Endocrine Society” A study involving 6 male patients aged 21-50 with BPH, androgenic alopecia, and acne revealed vitamin D and progesterone deficiencies. Patients were treated with 20,000 IU of vitamin D and 100 mg of progesterone daily, with additional topical progesterone for acne. After 6 months, there was an 80-90% improvement in hair loss and hair growth, a significant reduction in acne severity, and improved BPH symptoms. The study suggests that correcting vitamin D and progesterone deficiencies can effectively treat these conditions, likely due to the inhibition of the 5-α-reductase enzyme by progesterone.

December 2021 in “International Journal of Research in Dermatology” The study investigated female pattern hair loss (FPHL) among 78 Saudi women compared to 50 healthy controls, focusing on hematological parameters and vitamin D levels. Results showed that FPHL was significantly associated with lower red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean cell volume, mean cell hemoglobin, mean cell hemoglobin concentration, red cell distribution width, serum ferritin, and vitamin D levels. A positive family history, acne, hirsutism, and irregular periods were more common among the FPHL group. The severity of FPHL correlated with disease duration and patient age, with a moderate correlation (r=0.366). The study suggests that iron deficiency, indicated by lower serum ferritin, may play a crucial role in FPHL development or progression, and restoring iron levels could be a potential therapeutic option.
December 2021 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study investigated oxidative stress (OS) through thiol/disulfide balance in 45 male patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) compared to 42 healthy controls. The results showed no significant differences in thiol and disulfide levels between AGA patients and controls. However, native thiol and total thiol levels were negatively correlated with age and AGA duration, while disulfide levels correlated with age. Additionally, patients with low vitamin D levels had significantly lower albumin and native thiol levels but higher total thiol and native thiol/total thiol ratios. The study concluded that thiol/disulfide homeostasis is balanced in male AGA patients, but shifts towards oxidative stress in those with emotional stress and vitamin D deficiency.
January 2012 in “Vitamins & trace elements” Smoking and drinking can lower vitamin levels and potentially trigger early hair loss, but overall vitamin levels don't seem to affect hair loss duration.
