Personal experiences from those who have taken vitamins for male pattern baldness?
Written by reader on February 6th, 2009I am interested to know if there are any guys that have taken vitamins or natural supplements for hair loss and male pattern baldness? For example biotin, inositol, B-complex, Hairtopia and Hair Formula 37 are a few natural supplements out there that claim to be able to regrow hair.
Some reviews seem to show that products like these make hair thicker, shinier and faster-growing. I’m wondering if they have helped anyone with male pattern baldness? Any feedback would be great, thanks!

I’ve tried those and para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) with no success. It doesn’t stop my hair from falling out… but my hair does look better, when I sweep it up on the floor.

Well, I am not a man, but this problem is not new to me. My husband is now 27 and started loosing his hair at 18. He is terribly ashamed of not having nice hair and now has a huge bald spot on the back of his head. In the 9 years we have been togeather he has tried every drug, vitamin, salve, ointment, shampoo… just about everything out there. None of it works. If something new came out we tried it because this is such a touch topic for him. Everything that is except plugs or that move your hair from one place to another trick they seem to be good at now a days.
I understand the feeling of not being good enough because your hair is falling out. Believe me I try to support my husband every time he falls into feeling bad about it. I am going to tell you the same thing I tell him and I do it with love. Go bald naturaly. Accept it, embrace it and live with it. You could be sick with something like cancer and loose all your hair to chemo or something like that. This will not kill you and will not make you any less attractive. Good luck hun.

Sorry there is no evidence that vitamins are of any use.It is a combination of genetics and testosterone. MINOXIDIL has been used with some success but relapses when stopped
