While most physicians recommend vitamin B for hair loss treatment, a recent study revealed a connection between hair loss and vitamin D deficiency.

Research Study on Mice

An article published in the medical journal Endocrinology revealed the results of a clinical test done on mice which were hereditarily programmed to be hairless. In the said clinical test, vitamin D3 analogs were found to help stimulate hair growth in the hairless mice.

The researchers revealed that the vitamin D3 compounds stimulated the formation of normal hair follicles in mice that would otherwise not grow any hair. With that, many scientists and hair experts believed that this clinical test could pave the way for a potential hair loss treatment of the future.
