December 2021 in “Cureus” This review highlights a significant correlation between low serum vitamin D levels and androgenetic alopecia (AGA). It includes 12 studies, such as one by Jun Zhao et al. with 777 participants, showing a strong association between low vitamin D and male AGA (P=0.0005). Another study found 82% of AGA patients were vitamin D deficient. The review suggests vitamin D deficiency may contribute to AGA and that vitamin D supplementation, especially topical analogs like calcipotriol, could promote hair growth. However, oral vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia, and further research is needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of vitamin D treatments for AGA. The review concludes that serum vitamin D levels could be a valuable diagnostic and therapeutic parameter for AGA.
