Liver Toxicity: A Rare Side Effect of Using Turmeric Supplements for Hair Loss

Turmeric is being questioned as a treatment for hair loss, with skepticism from users who suggest proven medications instead. Some users doubt its effectiveness, noting cultural uses of turmeric for hair removal.

The user stopped using finasteride and tried turmeric, ginger, and perilla extract to reduce hair shedding, noticing a significant decrease in hair loss. They experienced side effects like rashes and easy bleeding from perilla extract and softer feet, possibly from turmeric.

A user experienced hair thinning possibly due to excess vitamin A from taking extra gummy vitamins. They stopped taking the vitamins and are seeking advice on hair regrowth and managing vitamin A levels.

Turmeric may slightly inhibit DHT, but it likely doesn't significantly impact hair loss. Creatine might increase DHT levels, but its effect on hair loss is debated and not conclusively proven.

The conversation is about a user experiencing accelerated hair loss after starting vitamin D3 supplements, suspecting a link between the supplement and increased DHT levels. The user decides to stop taking the supplements, preferring natural sources of vitamin D.

A user shared that taking vitamin E, specifically tocotrienols, seemed to reduce their hair shedding, and they are also using finasteride, minoxidil, and derma rolling for hair loss. Another user cautioned against high doses of vitamin E due to potential health risks.
