Quick takeaways
- Nutrient deficiencies, particularly minerals (zinc, copper, magnesium, selenium), and vitamins (B12, E, D, folate) are often connected to different types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia, female pattern hair loss, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium.
- The use of mainstream hair loss therapies, such as finasteride, raises concerns due to potential side effects like decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and mental health issues. More research is needed to fully understand the underlying causes of hair loss before resorting to such treatments.
