The user is experiencing hair loss and is using Minoxidil once a day. They suspect VitaminD deficiency and Seborrheic Dermatitis might be contributing factors.
VitaminD supplementation can aid hair regrowth for some, but results differ. Combining vitaminD with finasteride and minoxidil often improves hair thickness, though not for everyone.
VitaminD may counteract DHT and help with hair growth, as seen in mice and human hair cultures. Some users discuss using VitaminD, magnesium, and other supplements for hair health, while others humorously note the success in mice.
Hair loss treatments include finasteride and spironolactone. Low vitaminD levels may contribute to hair loss, and normalizing levels could potentially help regrowth.
A 27-year-old male with diffuse hair loss, including the donor area, did not respond to finasteride, dutasteride, or minoxidil. He suspects his hair loss may be linked to a mild connective tissue disorder, possibly affecting the structural support of hair follicles, rather than being purely hormonal.
A 20-year-old is experiencing hair loss and has low levels of VitaminD, B12, and iron. They are seeking advice on vitaminD supplementation, despite no family history of hair loss.
Dustaride doesn't require avoiding any vitamins, but checking vitaminD levels and supplementing if deficient is suggested. Hair vitamins are generally unnecessary unless there's a deficiency.
A user is experiencing hair regrowth after treating vitaminD, B12, and B9 deficiencies, noticing some improvement after 9 months. They are unsure if further improvement will occur or if they have reached the end of progress, with a possibility of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) being suggested.
The user has androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and low VitaminD levels, and they started using topical minoxidil (5%). They are considering finasteride but are concerned about side effects and are advised to seek mental health support.
A 19-year-old male suspects his hair loss is due to vitaminD deficiency and stress rather than genetics. Recommendations include taking finasteride, minoxidil, vitaminD, exercising, reducing stress, and consulting a doctor if needed.
The post discusses potential links between low vitaminD levels and hair loss, and how correcting this might impact the effectiveness of Minoxidil and Finasteride treatments. The responses vary, with some suggesting that vitaminD deficiency would cause overall scalp hair loss, while others believe it would first affect the most sensitive areas.
An 18-year-old with diffuse hair thinning is considering switching from a topical Minoxidil 10% + Finasteride 0.1% solution to Minoxidil 5% foam and oral Finasteride 0.5mg, while also addressing vitaminD deficiency and potential scalp inflammation. Users suggest using Nizoral shampoo for inflammation, considering dutasteride for better results, and maintaining vitaminD levels to protect hair follicles from DHT.
The conversation discusses using topical Calcipotriol and Valproic Acid for hair loss, focusing on their mechanisms involving the VDR receptor and Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. Specific treatments mentioned are Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.
People discussed using vitaminD supplements for hair loss, with some also using steroid injections, pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto, and zinc. Despite supplementation, one user noted no improvement in hair condition, but acknowledged the general health benefits of addressing vitaminD deficiency.
Vitamin E and K deficiencies due to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency may affect hair growth. A scalp biopsy is recommended to check for autoimmune-related hair loss.
27-year-old female experiences aggressive hair thinning and hirsutism despite normal testosterone levels. Spironolactone and 2% minoxidil were ineffective; high DHEA sulfate levels may be the cause.
Concerns about the long-term safety of VDPHL01, an extended-release minoxidil, due to potential risks similar to Cantu syndrome, were raised, highlighting the lack of monitoring for chronic connective tissue changes. The conversation suggests that while the treatment may improve hair growth, it could lead to issues not detected in short-term trials.
Hair is growing faster after 2 weeks of using topical vitamin D3 in alcohol/oil. The user plans to continue the experiment for 3 months before giving a full review.
Calculating the correct dosage of vitaminD from a 60,000 IU bottle using a dropper. The user is advised to take 0.05 ml for 600 IU, but struggles with finding a suitable supplement without additional ingredients like omega 3 or calcium.
Low VitaminD can cause hair shedding, and taking 5000 IU of VitaminD daily reduced shedding significantly. VitaminD deficiency is common and correcting it can benefit overall health.
Elevated bile acids can inhibit the enzyme AKR1C2, leading to increased DHT levels, which may accelerate hair loss in those predisposed to androgenetic alopecia. Treatments mentioned include topical minoxidil and finasteride.
Topical Calcipotriol (vitaminD derivative) may help with hair regrowth, especially for alopecia areata. The user wonders if adding classic vitaminD to lotions like Minoxidil could have a similar effect.

A 30-year-old woman with a history of anemia and low vitaminD experienced hair shedding, which improved after addressing nutrient deficiencies.
