Magnesium Oil For Male Pattern Baldness?

[Mr White]

I just came across this intriguing comment on a YouTube video about hair transplants:

There is, it's called magnesium oil, along with supplementing ~1 gram/day of Mg (non-oxide versions). Hair loss is due to calcification. DHT is only a symptom due to calcified scalp tissue trapping serum DHT in the scalp. Magnesium dissolves the calcified scalp tissue, freeing the DHT. Too much acidic food, coupled with a deficiency in magnesium, leads to calcium being leeched from bones, and building up in the scalp. Cures would equal an end to the hair loss industry. It's not in the financial interest of the medical industry to seek cures, and it never will be.

Any thoughts on this? I have no idea what he's talking about.

I wondered if some of the results of this study wasn't partially because of magnesium.

Ascorbates will grow hair but are unstable in water based solvents that is why they chose MAP. But MAP might have had a double effect with
Mg and the ascorbate being active.

Ha Ha ha Ha still this old myth about calcification...

calcification is not a myth, I believe its one of the culprits of baldness

Dr. Ray Peat has a video on youtube discussing the calcium/PTH/Androgenetic Alopecia relationship. It's been awhile since I've seen it but he mentioned it but didnt go to deeply into it.

My take is that it is the inflammation which drives fibrosis(of course) and the accompanying vascular calcification.

There is a cytokine which when anagen is initiated dissolves fibrosis. I guarantee that study exists but it is a SOB to find...
So fibrosis isnt really a factor that some imagine it to be as has been shown in studies of regrowth in even advanced Norwood levels and age levels.

As a rule of thumb if something natural isn't used by everyone it's bullshit
