community 200mcg Selenium stopped my hairloss
A user reported that taking 20mg copper and 200mcg selenium completely stopped their hair loss. The conversation is about hair loss treatments.
community My Vitamin D (25-0H) levels came <4.20 ng/ml (<20 implies deficiency)and B12 came 184 pg/ml (Should be between 211-911). I have a lot of dandruff. The derm has prescribed me with 60k vitamin d tablet once a week and multivitamins for a month. Vitamin deficiency implies TE no? or is it MPB?
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on vitamin D and B12 deficiencies, and mentions using finasteride. It also suggests getting a biopsy to differentiate between MPB and other conditions.
community People who solved their Vitamin D deficiency, how much did it help with regrowth?
Vitamin D supplementation can aid hair regrowth for some, but results differ. Combining vitamin D with finasteride and minoxidil often improves hair thickness, though not for everyone.
community I feel like people here shrug off nutritional issues too quickly. Particularly for Retrograde Alopecia.
The user believes Retrograde Alopecia may be linked to vitamin imbalances, specifically from taking too much Vitamin E, A, Zinc, and Selenium, and suggests it could be a middle ground between Androgenic Alopecia and Telogen Effluvium. Treatments for hair loss mentioned include Androgen inhibitors and improving lifestyle factors like nutrition and sleep, with topical melatonin also recommended for Retrograde Alopecia.
