- Vitamin B7: is it the ultimate secret to healthy hair or just a myth?

- Can too much vitamin A cause hair loss? Sustained vitamin A intake above the tolerable upper limit (3,000 mcg/day of retinol for adults) is linked in case reports to diffuse hair shedding; the claim that it amplifies DHT-driven hair loss has no published human evidence behind it.
