Article Synopsis
- Telogen effluvium (TE) is the most common type of hair loss, and Vitamin D may play a key role due to its effects on the immune system and inflammation.
- A study involving 40 women with TE showed significantly lower Vitamin D levels compared to healthy controls, but after 3 months of oral Vitamin D treatment, their levels improved considerably.
- The findings suggest that oral Vitamin D could be beneficial for TE, but more extensive research is needed to determine the appropriate dosages and treatment duration.
