🧬 Is Low Vitamin D Silently Sabotaging Your Hair – and Hormones? ☀️💇♀️
Many people don’t realise just how important vitamin D is for hormonal balance—especially oestrogen.
Low vitamin D levels can reduce oestrogen production, and when oestrogen dips, it can disrupt the hair growth cycle, leading to:
✔️ Increased shedding
✔️ Thinning at the crown or temples
✔️ Slower regrowth
But it doesn’t stop there…
🔸 Vitamin D & PCOS
Many women with PCOS have low vitamin D, which can:
• Worsen insulin resistance
• Raise androgen levels (linked to facial/body hair & scalp hair loss)
• Disrupt ovulation and menstrual cycles
• Contribute to weight gain, acne, and mood changes
🔸 Vitamin D & Perimenopause/Menopause
As oestrogen naturally declines, low vitamin D can make symptoms more intense:
• Hair thinning
• Hot flushes & night sweats
• Low mood & poor sleep
• Bone loss and joint aches
• Increased scalp dryness or inflammation
✨ The good news? With the right testing, supplementation, and individual support, you can restore balance from the inside out.
If your hair isn’t what it used to be—or you’re struggling with hormone shifts—it’s time to look deeper.
