Got My Blood Work Results In - Vitamin D

[HNMB]

Apparently I only have 60% of the minimum amount of vitamin D required to be at optimum levels. I plan on taking a supplement to remedy this, but I was wondering do you think this would have had any effect on my hair?

Researching it says it does have an effect on hair growth. Same happened with me as I was low on Vit D. Coincidentally that's around when my hair loss was at its worst, I didn't even see gradual miniaturization, my hair just literally stopped growing.

I'm still skeptical though, I've been on finasteride and minoxidil and been supplementing Vit D too and my hair has been improving. Also I was very depressed at the time I lost my hair, lost a bunch of weigh, etc.

Anyways are you taking any hair loss specific meds? What does you hair look like?

Here's my latest thread (https://www.hairlosstalk.com/intera...significant-change.106414/page-2#post-1502614) it includes my most recent hair pictures. It's not bad by any means, but I have noticed a bit of loss and am more worried about the future. I'm not on any meds/supplements right now.

Awesome that's very exciting to hear! I have also noticed more shedding recently, which based off what have I read is common with Vitamin D deficiencies. I just bought 2000IU Vitamin D3 and am hoping to see some good results in a month or two. I shall keep you all updated.

I just got back results on my blood tests as well. I had been wanting to do it forever, I was so sure I was gonna find a thyroid issue, or DHT issues; but no instead it came back that I was deficient as well in Vitamin D. Maybe there is something more to it.

yes there's much more to it, Estrogen activates the Vitamin D receptor, which is important for anagen initiation
