Vitamin D tests like D2, D3, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D are discussed before starting hair treatment. Vitamin D can be obtained from food, but overdose has side effects.
The conversation discusses recommendations for Vitamin D3 supplements for hair health. Specific treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Vitamin D may counteract DHT and help with hair growth, as seen in mice and human hair cultures. Some users discuss using Vitamin D, magnesium, and other supplements for hair health, while others humorously note the success in mice.
Topical Calcipotriol (vitamin D derivative) may help with hair regrowth, especially for alopecia areata. The user wonders if adding classic vitamin D to lotions like Minoxidil could have a similar effect.
The conversation discusses the importance of taking vitamin D with food for better absorption and its potential role in hair loss. Some users also suggest taking vitamin D with K2, getting sunlight, and using finasteride for hair loss treatment.
Hair loss due to low Vitamin D levels improved significantly after taking 4000UI Vitamin D capsules and vitamin B supplements. The user noticed a reduction in hair shedding within a week.
