The individual is experiencing hair loss and has a vitamin D deficiency, with levels at 7.49ng/ml or 26nmol/l. They are unsure if the deficiency is causing the hair loss and are seeking advice on vitamin D supplementation.

FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.

People discussed using vitamin D 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 vitamin D deficiency.

Rotenone, a natural plant extract, may promote hair growth by increasing LDH activity and blocking MPC in the scalp, but it carries risks due to its toxicity. The suggested formulation includes Barbasco extract, DMSO, propylene glycol or PEG-400, ethanol, and a carrier oil.
