A member asked:
I have female pattern balding, is there any supplements or vitamins i could take to help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None will help: Female pattern hair loss is not responsive to vitamins. In general, only Minoxidil is of any benefit, and how much hair grows is variable. Read the package carefully and make sure you can use it, or see a dermatologist. And be patient...You need to give it at least 6 months before you give up.
