Thiamine And Hair Loss

[Mukem]

Has anyone had success with thiamine for hair loss? I bought some at a pharmacy and the vendor told me she often had to prepare it for patients with hair loss. I asked whether those were mostly female and she said yes. Is it helpful for alopecia?

My hair stayed more strong with thiamine.

I can recall a few instances of people(one MIGHT have been a forum member) where they started supplementing thiamine and it either triggered or worsened a shed. Then again i dont know the amount, frequency or duration.

B vits are no doubt good for energy production and thus hair but I would be weary of upsetting a sometimes delicate balance in a body

Repeat this for a week without changing a single thing otherwise and report back

I think it was lowering my blood sugar somehow... And that was impairing my sleep. Generally - I've always thought thiamine was stimulating. Stupid experiment to use it before bed.

I started taking thiamine and my scalp feels good. No telling if that will help with hair growth but it's a good sign, considering how bad it usually feels.

(I also have a condition that makes thiamine deficiency more likely... I've been wondering if that could be the cause of my aggressive hair loss.)
