Na not really.

Na not really.

Does lack of vitamin D not cause hair loss?

 

[keepcoolmybabies]

Yes it totally can

 

[keepcoolmybabies]

Vitamin D helps to regulate cell cycles, including hair cells. Being insufficient in that and your hair will spend far more time in telogen/catagen stages than in should in comparison to anagen

Can I take vitamin D alone? Or does it need to be supplemented with others?

Vitamin D on its own should work. Though sufficient magnesium is needed for your body to metabolize it. So if you get your D levels checked after supplementing vit D and its still low then add a magnesium supplement.

Yeah it can cause a telogen effluvium but be mindful male hair loss is usually just genetics winning

It is possible, however keep in mind that the pattern of loss may also indicate underlying male pattern balding. Pics?
