      in Research/Science  5 upvotes 9 months ago
      Hair cloning technology is advancing, with clinical trials for improved methods expected by 2028 and 2029, potentially offering a solution for hair loss if donor follicles remain.

      community Atherosclerosis as cause of balding and treatment

      in Treatment  61 upvotes 2 years ago
      Hair loss may be caused by calcification of capillaries in the scalp, restricting blood flow to hair follicles. A daily treatment regimen including high doses of Vitamins D and K, Magnesium, and Nattokinase could potentially decalcify these capillaries, improving blood flow and hair growth. However, some users warn against excessive Vitamin D intake and emphasize the need for medical consultation.
