Key Supplements
- Iron (if deficient—ferritin <70 linked to hair loss, don't supplement without testing, 50-100mg if low)
- Zinc 30-50mg (deficiency common in hair loss)
- Biotin 5000-10000mcg (popular but only helps if deficient, high doses may interfere with lab tests)
- Saw Palmetto 320mg/day (DHT blocker—helps androgenetic alopecia, especially men)
- Pumpkin Seed Oil 1000mg/day (DHT blocker, increases hair count in studies)
- Marine Collagen 10g/day (provides amino acids for hair structure)
Key Lab Markers
- Ferritin (optimal >70 for hair growth—many women have ferritin 20-40, 'normal' but too low for hair), Iron studies (iron deficiency anemia), Thyroid panel (TSH, Free T4, Free T3, thyroid antibodies—even subclinical hypothyroidism causes hair loss), Zinc, Vitamin D, B12, Folate, CBC (anemia), Comprehensive metabolic panel, Hormones: Testosterone (free and total), DHEA-S, Estrogen, Progesterone, Prolactin (if female), Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), ANA, Anti-TPO, Anti-Tg (autoimmune screen if alopecia areata), PCOS workup if suspected (LH, FSH, insulin, glucose), Scalp biopsy (if diagnosis unclear—differentiates types of alopecia)
