As a fellow health TH-camr, I just wanted to commend you on this insightful video, Dr. Berg! The connection between vitamin D and autoimmune diseases, particularly in relation to hair loss, is often overlooked in discussions about hair health. It's fascinating how many people are unaware that hair follicles are living structures and that their health is influenced by various nutrients. Your emphasis on the importance of the right blood tests to identify deficiencies is crucial. Many individuals may not realize that conditions like alopecia can be linked to nutrient imbalances, and your video sheds light on this important aspect. Additionally, I appreciate your mention of magnesium's role in enzyme function related to hair health. It’s a reminder that a holistic approach to nutrition can significantly impact our overall well-being, including hair growth. For anyone watching, I encourage you to not only consider the tests mentioned but also to consult with a healthcare professional to interpret results accurately. Thank you for sharing this valuable information, and I look forward to more content that empowers viewers to take charge of their health!
I get more exercise, take certain supplements, learning about probiotics and love the vitamins especially vitamin B1 and nutritional yeast helps with my moods, emotions, stress and anxiety even Just started taking my kid dog walking with me. I found out that kindness helps with serotonin oxytocin and dopamine and I feel like a brand new person.
Im female and started to lose my hair at the age of 17, the hairloss was so hard that my relatives noticed I didn't have thick hair anymore and the reason was unknown. I didn't take any vitamins at that time, I always thought it because of the puberty then coz of pregnancy, but after 20years I have made a blood test. It has shown that i have very low d3 and iron. My daughter started also lose her hair at the age of 10,and the doctors say that her blood test is excellent. She lose hair,coz of spring))) So now this video helped me to understand what is the real reason for our hairloss. Dr.Berg, thank you!
Ultimately you have gone to the top of our body and the hair.Thanks for choosing it as one who is bald makes some people getting discouraged. So kind of you💯🌹
My hair started to grow back after becoming COMPLETELY drug, prescription, alcohol, cigarette, and vape free! 🎉 Feels so good being able to say that! Have a great day, y'all! 🫡
When I loss blood and became an anemic my hair broke off.And when my iron level increase my hair started growing again. I respect the dr and Iam sure there is truth to what he is saying, but my hair stop from low iron and it was said that I had too much d3 in my system. I took 10,000 iu every day. That was my experience.
Oh wow, i think that's it. this calcification been happening to me the past 6 years, and doctors were giving all sort of chemical shampoos. Also I been losing my hair the past few years, and I'm barely on the sun. It kind of all check out :D Thank you so much!!
I had erectile dysfunction for many years starting at 36. Im 45 now. I started taking very high doses of D3&K2 along with magnesium. Everything has been working well since.
Dr. Berg discusses the importance of vitamin D for hair health, explaining its role in gene regulation, immune function, and preventing scalp calcification. He recommends testing vitamin D levels and supplementing with at least 20,000 IU daily, along with magnesium and other nutrients.
Id like to share that since ive been taking d3 10000 with k2 my gums no longer bleed. But even more amazingly, i had an area of gum that was receded due to an injury to it years ago and since taking d3 10000 with k2 that gum area has started to regenerate!!!
I was receding a bit over the years. I stopped smoking in 2020 and kicked my prescriptions in Feb 2023 and I started going outside even. My hairline grew back a bit. I noticed it was less far back when I started shaving my head since February of 2024 and as it grew back I noticed this
There are intracellular micronutrient tests to look for magnesium, d3, and 20+ other vitamins. You have to pay out of pocket but they exist. Ive been doing them for over 2 decades. Nothing new
My greatest take away as a male that hair loss could be due to : high testosterone namely dht build and without enough vitamin d3 follicles will be effected. Follicle health spoken about first which is actually the literal root placd to start
Interesting video and a lot of good points are brought up. There's no doubt a vitamin D3 deficiency could be the cause of many symptoms and disorders like hair loss...among many, many other causes (like shampoo with high levels of sulfates and parabens or fluoride in the water). When recommending or starting a magnesium supplement regiment, one should check into what type of or combination of magnesium you should take. There is something like 6 or 7 different types of magnesium and it's important to know which one does what and how with some types not being recommended at all.
I've been taking 10,000 iu of D3+K2 for years along with everything else mentioned except for B12 & Omega 3. My hair is still falling out like crazy. I'll try upping it to 20,000 iu.
I'd be careful that's an insane amount of D3. It's a synthetic hormone called cholecalciferol and it can cause hypercalcemia. It's actually used as rat poison and kills rats by means of hypercalcemia. I know someone who was hospitalized for taking over 10k IU.
It's real: "Sonic hedgehog protein (SHH) is encoded for by the SHH gene.[5] The protein is named after the video game character Sonic the Hedgehog......"
I take 5,000 IU’s of D3 + 100 mcg’s of K2 & 600 mg of Magnesium daily & my hair is falling out in clumps! Are you saying I need to up the D3 to 20,000 IU’s/Daily? Just FYI, I also have several autoimmune diseases, including Hypothyroidism & I am overweight & have no energy. Your help is greatly appreciated!!! 🙏
Depending on which magnesium supplement you are taking, you might not absorb most of it, glycinate has the highest absorption rate (around 80%), others are in the single digit percentage wise. Dr Berg has a few videos on magnesium you might want to check out. In this video he recommends at least 20'000 iu vit D daily... a rule of thumb is 100mcg K2 per 10'000 iu vit D. Autoimmune disease might also be helped with more vitamin D. Hope you will get better!
I didn't know to take them at night. I need the K2 (ran out) but I have V_D3, Magnesium & Zinc. I take thyroid medicine so remembering to space them out I often forget mid day to take vitamins. I will try taking them at night. Thanks Doc❤️
Ended a 20 year marriage 6 years ago. Lost 3/4 of my hair 😢 it's devastating. I'm a 47 year old woman going thru menopause. Do I have any chance of getting my hair back?? ❤
Whole foods based multivitamin with B complex.(As opposed to synthetic vitamins or pharmaceutical grade, which sounds professional but are not very absorbable) And Iodine. Better to take half a good megafood vitamin than any amount of junk vitamins.
Try putting a chlorine filter on your shower. Also use Nizerol shampoo with a clarifying shampoo once a week. I also found when I started using supplements that were aimed at reducing my insulin resistance my hair started growing back very quickly. I used Inositol, Berberine and n acetyl cysteine.
This is my very issue and all I've been given is iron pills. Dr. Beth thank you. Your knowledge is helping me feel better I'm not 100% as my iron is just not moving much for the past 3 years from 4 to 6 but there are days when I feel much better than before.
I do not have hair problem I avoid sun, I have skin problem, info intriguing my like correlation. Magnesium can counter calcium!!! Wow I can use this for decalsified calcium plaque on my pineal gland activate my third eye and pychic power!!! Yay and also vitamin k1 k2 microgreen.
If hair thinning is due to low vitamin d , then why hairs get thin at only specific areas temple , crown , frontal area ...why only these areas get affected
I think topical minoxidil works better, I think the problem is the application not being topical. I feel like prednisone would be like using DHEA though for hair loss.
Yaaaaaasss Daddy 😻👑😻 Ooooohweeee dis da one black 🖤 folks need Oooooh lawd we losing hair 🧜🏽♀️🥳 🧜🏽♀️ like a mofo Da dye, da WEAVE, da wigs 🤣😂🤣 Help help help 😢🎉😢
Is it possible to regrow hair that has been lost? I have been taking all of your listed supplements for a couple years including 20000 iu of d3 but haven't noticed any hair regrowth.
Head massage using a high quality high percussion sports massager with the round foam ball will both increase blood flow and totally relax the scalp and stress also causes hair loss. Direct topical application of aloe vera plus copper and zinc and vitamin A and spray occasionally with magnesium oil spray all sold at health food stores or on the internet. Stretching the skin on the head helps with scalp massage. Pumpkin seed oil alternstively consistently. Also, minoxidil. A niacin flush. Vit D 20,000 plus k2mk7 300 to 600. Liver is best source of biotin + folate = desiccated liver supplements plus eat eggs + steak. A multimineral supplememt + drink mimeral water. Reduce stress. Mega dose Melatonin + Glycine DHEA. Pregnenolone. Deep sleep. Reduce stress. Increase blood flow. Have patience

If Vitamin D is the problem, how then can you explain an abundance of hair in general , but a lack of hair on the top? Wouldn't low Vitsmin D affect the entire scalp?
I take Seed, Vit D&K2 (Dr. Berg brand), ashwaganda and multivitamins (dr. Berg brand.) My hair has been falling out for about 2 years now. Ive had a history of low vit d but take the supplements almost daily if I dont forget. The falling out recently has been on th3 decline but I can never tell if that's all in my head. House water has filtration, i dont use products in my hair nor use any heat, i do keto. Im not sure if the hair im losing is just natural cause im so heightened with hair loss or if its coming out a lot. Zinc males me feel sick when I take it. What foods have the most Zinc in it?
It’s D3…..but watch the whole video!! Thanks, Dr. Berg!
Thank you!
THANK YOU 😂
Thank you!!
Actually, it's Magnesium and D3. You must have the Mg, K2 and Zinc -- they don't work without each other.
its always d3

D3 and magnesium, noted. What other foods? Red meat? Salmon? What else? How much? How often?

I take 10,000 IU of D3 daily along with K2, zinc, magnesium, and others. My vitamin D level is 110 ng/mL.
Excellent!
Thanks for very informative well searched topic
Awesome info thanks for sharing

Sonic the Hedgehog gene? Scientists are definitely trolling us 😂
It's real: "Sonic hedgehog protein (SHH) is encoded for by the SHH gene.[5] The protein is named after the video game character Sonic the Hedgehog......"
God bless you Doctor. Thank you for the information.

20,000 per day at a MINIMUM
Have you had your thyroid checked? It sounds like hypothyroidism could be a possible cause of your symptoms.
Yes

Can you please do a video regarding vitamin D supplementation and iron regulation? Morley Robbins has me conflicted.
Always great info
Thank you for this info, now I know my solution .
This is very informative and one of the best information out there! Thank you Dr. Berg.
Great info
Dr Boz also says that insulin resistance will interrupt the hormones getting to the follicle
Yes, you need to fix the big problems as well.
I didn't know to take them at night. I need the K2 (ran out) but I have V_D3, Magnesium & Zinc. I take thyroid medicine so remembering to space them out I often forget mid day to take vitamins. I will try taking them at night.

Look up glue on hair pieces,lasts 6 months or so, works great for men imagine it would work just as well for women. I keep bold btw but i like it.
Try putting a chlorine filter on your shower. Also use Nizerol shampoo with a clarifying shampoo once a week. I also found when I started using supplements that were aimed at reducing my insulin resistance my hair started growing back very quickly. I used Inositol, Berberine and n acetyl cysteine.
@123fuhfrtgfh we have a whole house water filter. When I remember, I take berberine, NAC and I have inisitol, ill add it. Thanks!
@pinschrunner oh, and I have kelp iodine in the fridge. I'll Start taking!
This is my very issue and all I've been given is iron pills. Dr. Beth thank you. Your knowledge is helping me feel better I'm not 100% as my iron is just not moving much for the past 3 years from 4 to 6 but there are days when I feel much better than before.
I used to be 7 and went gluten free and my iron levels went to 10. Perhaps it's some intolerance. You could check it out
I’ve been taking zinc the past week and noticed less hairs in the drains after washing my hair 😊
As I am the leading Vitamin D Deficiency channel- I just wanna add that Low Vitamin D is the reason for alot of persons hair loss !
If you are..then tell me, is there a chart for: how long in each time of year does it take to get the amount of vitamin D?
Thank you, Dr. Berg.
Very informative video, Dr. Berg.
This channel name should be 'vitamin d'
Thanks for sharing and guidance Dr.Berg about the hair loss,❤️🇲🇾
Even Dr. Berg started the O faces in the thumbnails 🤦♂
Blame the sub-contracted video editor.
Zinc deficiency also causes weak hair
Thanks Dr Berg!
Thanks Dr Berg!
So, just get enough sunlight to prevent excessive hair loss?
So, by dosages:
D3: 10k iu
Magnesium:?
K2:?
Thanks Dr. Berg!
Thank you
I will try
Thank you dr berg
I do not have hair problem I avoid sun, I have skin problem, info intriguing my like correlation. Magnesium can counter calcium!!! Wow I can use this for decalsified calcium plaque on my pineal gland activate my third eye and pychic power!!! Yay and also vitamin k1 k2 microgreen.
The #1 blood test most overlooked for hair loss keeping you big as hell
Not this channel dude. Lol
If hair thinning is due to low vitamin d , then why hairs get thin at only specific areas temple , crown , frontal area ...why only these areas get affected
Great question!!!
Why do bones break in certain places first and not the WHOLE BONE?.OH, because those are weak spots..oh I get it
Grateful! What is the Magnesium: Calcium ratio recommended?
What if you’ve been bald for years? Are the hair follicles just dead now?
So supplement D3 in the evening with magnesium empty stomach is that correct?
I shall buy D3 & K2 2gether with magnesium then.
I think topical minoxidil works better, I think the problem is the application not being topical. I feel like prednisone would be like using DHEA though for hair loss.
Zinc mag copper d3 k2 b12 double amount of potassium then salt litteraly stoos all problems
My new winter protocol, D3 (10,000 iu) and Dutch cheese (high in K2).
Which type of magnesium is best?
Glycinate
Which type of magnesium?
Citrate or glycinate. I alternated these every other day. Glycinate has the highest absorption rate.
Glycinate

Same here. Started losing mine around age 17.
Your GP may prescribe calcium pantothenate.
Good info, but am I correct in assuming this info won't help if one is up in age?
Please tell me which kind/ form of magnesium
Which magnesium are you referring to doc?
only 50 mg of magnesium ? every suppliment i can find has atleast 250 mg per tablet or 400, 500, maybe you meant to say atleast 500 mg doc ?
Doc., got a question if you pls. Would you recommend doing a genetic blood test to look for potential mutations in genes?
What are your thoughts on finistride and Dutastride?
