While getting a degree in nursing many years ago I took a required Nutrition course. I'll never forget the professor making the statement when giving a lecture on water vs fat soluble vitamins that Americans had the most expensive urine in the world thanks to advertising. Thanks for the reminder Dr Dray.
I was taught that in my very semester in my psychology class 13 years ago. Our instructor was always getting sidetracked and telling us things like that, but I always appreciated the random facts. Many people disagreed on that one in particular lol
Considering doctors barely learn anything about supplements and natural medicine. You should probably bite your tongue and keep quiet. Big pharma is Not the only way to health
Happy Tuesday! I have to admit that I purchased Biotin in the Gummy version when I noticed hair thinning. But I did not stick to it and my hair did return. However, it is so easy to manipulate a population due to fear. So helpful when you share the facts with us.
Yes, governments use the Fear factor too, because they know fear is a great motivator. Big Pharmaceuticals do this. Dr John Campbell, out of the UK has videos on RUclips. He got studies that said those masks that they made us all wear, were found to not protect anyone against getting the virus. Yet, the US media never reported on this.
Thank you for another super-useful video! If you retain nothing else from this video, the top tip is this--make sure ALL your doctors know ALL the medications you're taking and why--whether they're prescription, over-the-counter, or dietary supplements. A lot of people get tired of filling out all the forms at the doctor's office and skip listing their OTC meds (including minoxidil or Rogaine!) and vitamins. You might not think to tell your gastroenterologist about a topical foam you're putting on your face or scalp, but they can have an effect on both your body and your diagnosis.
I have an iron deficiency and have also had gastric surgery. Even with that, my doctor only has me taking an iron supplement 3 times a week. It's definitely not something to play around with.
Dr Dray I just want to say thank you for your responses back to us,! You are so thoughtful and polite and that means so much to me. I am sure others feel the same
GREAT advice. I do NOT take random supplements without my labs being taken. A good reminder too that supplements are not regulated, so, who knows how pure they are and exact ingredients. I do supplement, but very carefully on the advice of my PCM. Thank you for all you do!!
“Just make sure you know what your problem is”. Great advice. I’ve had scalp (thus hair issues) for 20 years. I have a dermatologist and he only prescribes soothing meds. No tests, no cure suggestions. He’s not unusual as the prior dermatologist did the same. Doctors are sometimes useless and my heart goes out to people who search for advice from others. My Primary doctor only ever says “ you’re as healthy as a 40 yr old”. So demeaning, I worked hard to be 75 and perfectly happy being 75. (I have brittle bones). My respect for Physicans has tanked. I sympathize with folk that try to help themselves. Be careful folks!
M guess is that it’s great marketing and package design for products you can source much more reasonably from other manufacturers. All of those “fuck! My hair is thinning!” supplements and most products (not minoxidil, obviously) are way overpriced and often unnecessary. Slick marketing, capitalizing on this misery. Kinda sleazy, imo.
I love these informative style videos. Thank you for what you do! To be willing to share your invaluable knowledge in this format is proof of your compassion and kindness.
This video encouraged me to finally book with a pcp on figuring out my low iron diagnosis from last year. I feel like my telogen effluvium is coming back 😢 even though my hair never grew back properly from the initial loss 😢😢 low in zinc and vit d as well
Idk if you can discuss this, but the interrelation between b12 deficiency and metformin? Not sure if it effects hair or what not, but for sure it effects energy levels, but I know a lot of people might enjoy the video because a lot of people are unaware of the depletion in b12, and metformin is so common now a days too! Just a thought 😊
Thank you Dr Dray!! Such good info that so many people out there need to know! There are so many people on social media these days pushing random “supplements” that they really know nothing about! It’s scary! Thank you for always sharing such useful and needed information!
Hi, Dr. Dray, this is unrelated to the video, but could you please make a video about papular scars, which seems to be a morphology of acne scarring that's least talked about. I and many other have it, and I'd like to know what course of treatments would you recommend to flatten the hypertrophy. Have a good day!
I used biotin on and off for a few years. I have bleached hair, and my natural colour is almost black. Whenever I take biotin for a few months, my hair starts growing like crazy. Because I have bleached hair, I can easily measure my roots and by doing so my growth. Whenever I take biotin, my hair grows about 3,5 cm a month (almost 1,5 inch). Whenever I don't take biotin, it slows down to about 2 cm (0,7 inch). My diet and hormones would be very stable, so that shouldnt affect it. So my hair absolutely loves it! The only problem is is that I get acne from biotin, which is why I stopped taking it.
I used the biotin from holland & barrett (drugstore in most European countries). I used to work there and it was one of our most sold products. 1000 micrograms, 1 per day. @@louisethomson3646
Very informative and educational video. Thank you! What about vit C? In the UK people take massive dosages of Vit C hoping it will cure almost anything.
Someone once said that if you can afford vitamins, you probably don't need them. And yes, as Sheldon says in the Big Bang Theory, it's just expensive urine (at best you excrete it but at worst, as you say Dr Dray, fat soluble vitamins can be actively harmful).

Yay, I'm early.. I know it's not a supplement, but how about Hyaluronic acid or Polyglutamic acid added to the hair routine? HA is really good for my skin, works well for me - and I know it's in some shampoos, but I'm wondering if I can make up my own spray, incorporate it with a spray bottle of water as part of the styling process ?
OK but this can happen if there's an excession of supplements, I don't think that if you use those supplements for some month s you're gonna have this horrific diseases???
My husband and I tried a few supplements but truth be told our hair falling down had other causes. He has a scalp psoriasis patch which now is a bald spot and I have malabsorption syndrome (low vitamins and ferritin no anemia). We soon are going to a dermatologist to see what can be done.
I think they are all sketchy TBH. I have seen my hair grow longer after I started on Spironolactone 100mg a few years back. I do take an 18mg iron/Vitamin C 33% supplement as I have teetered at borderline anemic for years now. I eat two smaller Brazil nuts in the morning because they taste great and fuel me until my 3pm breakfast! BTW you look AMAZING btw!
You sound like me with my 3 pm breakfast lol. I’m anemic, vit d, and zinc deficient and my hair never grew back post telogen effluvium and I think I’m experiencing round 2 now 😢
Hi dr dray hope you are doing well ❤... My husband 32 years old has baldness and a receding hairline.... Kindly enlighten me whether minoxidil spray will be effective for him... Plus How frequently it should be used and at what concentration
Your husband's doctor would have to make that call or refer him to a dermatologist to determine the type of hair loss. Dr Dray and other dermatology channels though, have videos on minoxidil and tend to recommend as a clinically tested hair loss treatment.
Greetings Dr Dray hope u r well n 🖐Hello Every1 n Happy Tuesday😀n what a Wonderful Vid…. thanks n This is Gonna b so Informative🔥👍n Continued Blessings to All💜….

Hi Dr Dray! Question, my mom had breast cancer many years ago. I am now post menopausal. I have chronic telogen effluvium. I’ve had all kinds of blood work, scalp biopsies, minoxodil…. My Derm wants me to go on propecia.
Hi❤ can you please tell how i can control my hairloss while on isotretinoin, i always had hair loss and temporal hair thinning mainly due to nutritional deficiencies but on isotretinoin (about to complete 2nd month with 20mg) is going insane
i have been taking Nutrafol, because it is highly recommended. But, all the supplements you mentioned, except iron is in it. Does anyone else take Nutrafol
Hello Doctor Andrea how are you ? (Hope well, strong and super possitive as always 😊❤🎉). Today's video really shook me because when i visited my derm when i first had telogen effluvium which now is resolved by following his treatment but the thing i want to talk about is that he did recommended an optional supplement for me but i didn't take because it had iron, zinc,selenium and vitamin e and got scared i did ask him if it was safe and he reassured me it is safe but he did not support his option for supplement intake (like you Doctor 😊❤.). Thank you so much for the valuable information i truly do thank you from the bottom of my heart.😊
@@21972012145525 Extreme stress my friend was the cause (my grandma was diagnosed with dementia and she started going out of her house and had to look for her) and it resolved with minoxidil 5% and a hair spray tonic combined together by my derm (the combined instruction was from my derm my pharmacist combined them together). Anyway mine it wasn't severe case so it healed up quite quickly 6 months in total.

I have sub clinical hypothyroidism and my dermatologist prescribed me vit e supplement 400mg daily to take with my isotretinoin 20mg for acne, i can't believe how irresponsible doctors are 💔thank-you for educating, definitely going to stop taking it
Okay so what about the fact that naturally curlier and thicker hair types should benefit from hair supplements to speed up hair growth and achieve longer hair in shorter time? Its pretty obvious to me that thicker hair needs more protein and nutrients to grow a larger diameter of hair strand compared to thin hair, thus taking hair supplements should speed up hair growth in thicker hair. What's your opinion doc?
people with curly hair do not have a higher protein need compared to those without curly hair, nor do they have specific nutrient requirements because of their hair
I was taking Selenium for awhile because of hair loss (OKed by multiple docs!), and ended up with major toxicity. It takes a looong time to resolve, also. The effects are truly terrifying. Please don’t supplement anything without being certain you need it and being monitored, guys!

Yes, governments use the Fear factor too, because they know fear is a great motivator. Big Pharmaceuticals do this. Dr John Campbell, out of the UK has videos on RUclips. He got studies that said those masks that they made us all wear, were found to not protect anyone against getting the virus. Yet, the US media never reported on this.

Hi Dr Dray, Could you please make a video about scalp issue, scalp care and improve hair growth. Much appreciated
She's done several already.
I feel it's important to get checked by a doctor for iron deficiency, especially in the setting of inflammatory diseases.
I have an iron deficiency and have also had gastric surgery. Even with that, my doctor only has me taking an iron supplement 3 times a week. It's definitely not something to play around with.

Would love to hear your specific thoughts on Nutrafol since it has several of these ingredients
M guess is that it’s great marketing and package design for products you can source much more reasonably from other manufacturers. All of those “fuck! My hair is thinning!” supplements and most products (not minoxidil, obviously) are way overpriced and often unnecessary. Slick marketing, capitalizing on this misery. Kinda sleazy, imo.
