No l-cysteine won't stop your hairloss if it's from b5. At the moment we don't really know how to stop it although a lady has managed to reduce her shedding by taking inositol.
Did anyone got there ferritin Levels checked??
Iron defincy can cause hairloss!!
I got Mine checked Last week. It was 27. For optimal hair growth it should be 80....
I did Start an iron supplement. If this should do something, it can take to 3 months to see a diffrence.
Im wondering how b5 could cause a iron defincy....But its worth a Try. My hair looks horrible. Im still loosing every day.
My thyorid is Fine....

Maybe you are on to something...
" The optimal ferritinlevelfor thyroid function is between 90-110 ng/ml. "
We always seem to come back to the thyroid but maybe we have been trying to repair it from the wrong angle.
You say your thyroid is fine, yetyour ferratin levels are low. It does not add up. Obviously our thyroid are not working at 100%.
I'm joining you though with adding iron supplements to a strict diet for healing(bee's candida diet). Inositol did nothing other than make me sleepy. Iron deficiency makes more sense on paper than inositol.
cool to hear from you.
Its really worth a Try.
I was Looking up pictures on google for hair loss through iron defincy & my hair does look like it.
I was also reading ferritin normal range would be 50 - 150. & optimal range 200 - 300.
Im in contact with somebody with b5 hairloss. His ferritin Level is also low & he did start the Iron supplement too.
Lets See what will happen.

Not to rain on your parade, but I had low iron after b5 and took iron supplements until my levels were deemed to be normal, it helped my fatigue but it did not resolve my hair loss.

All the people on this forum that resolved their hair loss permanently, did it via fixing their thyroid, it seems like some people on this forum have taken thyroid supplements and it made their hair loss worse so they gave up? But if its making your hair loss worse, doesn't that kinda tell you that they're linked and you're just not treating it properly? ..

thank you for your response Mr Bushido.
Interesting that your ferritin was low after b5 too. Do you stll know the level ?
The "normal level" has a big range. I was reading about an special iron centrum. there mention normal range would be 50 - 150 and optional range 200 - 300 ..... For optimal hair growth its around 100.
& it will need up to 6 months with iron supplementing for the hair to make a diffrence.
how long have you been taken the iron supplement?
Maybe you didnt hang enough in there? This really can be a long process.
I got my thyorid checked & it was ok.
But Shomp was mentioning here that "The optimal ferritinlevelfor thyroid function is between 90-110 ng/ml."
Maybe there is a link between those.
& did anyone think about that maybe the b5 absorption is fucked for us now after the huge intake?
maybe its possible to check this too

I think what some people fail to realize is that if you have adrenal and possible thyroid problems, that they're linked, you need to combat them together or you may not get anywhere at all.
I think a few people on this forum weight train and eat a healthy diet, I am one of them. Also:
- There is no such thing as b5 toxicity
- You might be referring to magnesium stearate, but I know plenty of people who take 10 + supps a day coated with the stuff, and i did too without losing hairI mean this sounds completely coincidental, but I've seen crazier things posted here
The colostrum is really interesting... wondering if I should get it in bulk powder. ( http://www.sovereignlaboratories.com/product/COLOSTRUM-LD_powder16.html ) and taking 5g a day.
I think that's the only thing that may have helped to make your hair better. That thyroid support supplement has no desiccated thyroid in it or anything, just herbs/vitamins/minerals, don't think it can be TOO effective for thyroid.
I'm trying to find info on why colostrum would be good for hair. Can you help?
Is it the inflammation angle? also the IGF-1 boosting is interesting.
Tried colostrum went through 2 bag's. It did nothing
I bought this product containing Minoxidil 5% as active substance, it helped my brothers friend alot in the hair department, i will keep you guys informed. Btw. I think my hair got thiner as a result of B5 supplementation, this product helps the circulation on your scalp as opposed to B5 drying your skin out.
I got some labs down recently and have the paperwork if anyone is curious. Mostly consisted of hormones and a few other things

E2 is kind of low, but I don't know if there's an impact. I don't think iron, B12, etc. are related

Looks good man... low vit D but otherwise looks decent.
Hey guys, I don't want to get anyone's hopes up here (or myself) but today I realised something spooky. I actually seem to have some quite strong hairs growing back on my left temple (not so much on my right for some reason). I use minoxidil which tends to cause soft little wispy hairs to grow that never amount to anything so I put it down to that before but this is different, when I run my hand over that area there's this dense and strong feeling stubble.
I have attached a picture, it was pretty tough to take, was wondering what you guys think. Obviously I would be delighted if it's growing back but I'm not sure why. I did take inositol for about 1 month in August and then stopped because my hair seemed to falling out much more, though perhaps that was just the weak old hairs making way for new ones. I'm trying to decide whether I should get back on the inositol because the length of the hairs would probably indicate about 1-2 months growth.

I'll take another picture in 1-2 months and compare.
are you still taking inositol?
