Unless you have a specific vitamin deficiency, vitamins won't help you regrow any hair. I don't think you have any deficiencies but incase your paranoid I would get a blood test done (for peace of mind - i guess)..

Most people get more than they need from 5 fruit & vegetables a day so vitamins arn't needed. I view taking vitamin supplements as life insurance...

Taking them won't do any harm - you don't need to know how much of each you need thats what multivitamins are for. You should be able to get multivitamins from any supermarket/shop.

If your looking for real hair loss treatments that do work I would suggest googling the big 3. That's what we currently have and it's a good start.

I agree with nick123. 9 helpings of fruit and vegetables per day plus 4-6oz meat protein. And absolutely get a complete male blood panel done as a baseline. Then if it shows a deficiency use supplements.

I have deficiency in vitamin D and my doctor even recommend me to take multivitamins due to the fact that I am an Asian boy living in Europe(Sun, food etc.)

If they told you that you have a deficiency then why didn't they provide any recommendations?

Probably because he doesn't exhibit any clinical signs of deficiency and like most physicians they don't practice preventive health.

What was the number, if I may ask? Test should report Vit D as 25 hydroxy
My doctor said it should be from 50-80 ish and mine was around 25 in the beginning

Btw
Does DHT go overpower for a while after stopping Finasteride? Due to hormone imbalance

25 is really low. Mine was 44 and the doctor put me on 5,000 IU per day of D3. I'm not sure about rebound of dht after stopping finasteride.

what do you think about Regenepure DR Hair Loss Shampoo for Hair?
And do you have any clue what will happen if you stop using the shampoo?

I didn't like it. Has a peculiar odor and synthetic stuff. Just use a natural or organic over the counter shampoo.
