Hair loss

Messages

Hi,
I have been experiencing significant hair loss for about six months...once had beautiful longer hair....now I'm afraid it's all going to fall out. I am sure there are nutritional issues with the lack of b12 I've suffered. Working on Freddd's protocol. Anything I should do or add to help this? Thx!

When I'm in folate deficiency, my hair falls out. This can happen within hours, and also stop just as quickly when I increase folate. I think I also had hair loss when taking excess zinc, but that may be a false memory.
