Does Niacinamide Cause Hair Loss? Seven Words!!

[Uzii52]

I recently started taking niacinamide 100 mg and suddenly my hair fall has accelerated pretty bad! I have learnt from google that niacinamide is androgenic and might increase dht and its sensitivity! What are your thoughts? Should i discontinue?

Really good question. I used to take it a few months back and it actually felt great (even for my hair lol). I'm not sure if it can harm your hair though.

To my knowledge, Niacin promotes hair growth, or am I incorrect? Multiple websites claim this, but I'm not entirely sure...

Do you think my hair is thin on my sides and lacks density?
