A 27-year-old male experiencing increased hair loss despite using 0.5mg dutasteride daily, minoxidil nightly, and optimizing vitamin D, is considering zincsupplementation and seeking a dermatology referral. Concerns about potential shedding, thyroid levels, and zinc dosage are discussed, with advice to monitor and avoid over-supplementation.
The user is using a regimen of topical finasteride 0.3% and minoxidil 6% daily, along with zinc, saw palmetto, and hair supplements, but is unsure about the results and considering adding oral finasteride. Other users share mixed experiences with similar treatments, suggesting patience or switching to oral forms.
A user experienced significant hair regrowth after 5 weeks by taking zinc, vitamin D, and biotin supplements, correcting deficiencies that were contributing to hair loss and thinning. They report a decrease in hair shedding, faster hair growth, and a thickening of their hairline without using common hair loss medications like Minoxidil or Finasteride.
After 9 months of using Dutasteride, oral and foam Minoxidil, Zinc, Vitamin D, Nizoral shampoo, and microneedling, combined with reduced stress, an individual restored their hair. They saw significant improvement despite initial worsening, and had low Vitamin D levels which they corrected with supplements.
Adding vitamins like zinc, iron, biotin, and vitamin D to finasteride and minoxidil may help with hair loss. Some users are skeptical about the study's validity due to its precise numbers.
