Generally a B12 Vitamin Deficiency is more likely to occur with people who have intestinal or stomach problems. Healthy intestines contain an enzyme which is needed for your body to absorb vitamin B12 and without this enzyme it is likely that you will develop a vitamin deficiency. So whilst your hair loss may be a visible sign of something being wrong, there could be a more serious underlying medical condition that needs to be looked at and treated.





If your medical doctor establishes that a B12 Vitamin Deficiency is causing your hair loss then s/he will probably recommend a change in your diet to boost your intake of certain foods. Generally the best sources of vitamin B12 are considered to be meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk and other dairy products. Failing this, a vitamin supplement may be recommended.
Symptoms of deficiency are highly similar to other vitamin B deficiencies. They include allergies (e.g. stuffed or runny nose), adrenal insuffiency, Addison's disease and rheumatoid arthritis.





Pantothenic acid - vitamin B5 is also needed for proper and healthy growth of hair so I wouldnt think it would cause hair-loss
Hi.


The following article seems to claim the contrary to those claims on the internet:


';A balanced diet is necessary for supplying adequate amounts of nutrients, minerals and vitamins to the body .lack of a proper diet often results in hair loss. Hence, hair loss can be treated by intake of dietary supplements, like minerals and vitamins, especially the B Vitamins (B5, B6, and niacin), Biotin, Inositol and Folic Acid. It has been proved that ample intake of vitamins counters hair loss and promotes the growth of healthy and shiny hair.





Vitamins can help in treating hair loss in a number of ways:





- Vitamins obstruct the production of di-hydro testosterone or DHT – one of the principal causes that trigger hair loss.





- Vitamins revitalize damaged hair follicles and thereby promote hair growth.





- Vitamins nourish and heal the scalp.





A number of vitamin formulas have topical application, like shampoos or serums that are to be applied on the scalp. This provide a two-pronged approach to combating hair loss – both from inside the system and from outside the body. However, it should be borne in mind that there is no “quick-fix” method for curing hair loss troubles; all the products require sustained use for optimum results.





B-Vitamins





Food items like beans, peas, cauliflower, soy beans, and eggs are sources of vitamin B, which is very important for the health of the scalp and hair. Vitamins B3 (niacin), B5 (also called pantothenic acid), and B6 (pyridoxine) should be taken as nutritional supplement for treating hair loss. Folic acid is a type of B vitamin (B9) that delays the onset of grey hair, and is useful in preventing hair loss.





Biotin





Biotin is essential for healthy hair and skin and may be effective in preventing male pattern baldness. Brown rice, brewer’s yeast, sunflower seeds, green peas, soybeans, oats, lentils and walnuts are excellent sources of this vitamin. Supplements can also be used to counter excessive hair loss.





Other Vitamins:





Inositol is for healthful for hair.





Vitamin C helps in increasing the blood circulation in the scalp and ensuring that the hair follicles get adequate supply of nutrients.





Vitamin E





This vitamin aids in improving uptake of oxygen, which leads to better health of the scalp and hair.';
Hi





I came across this articles regarding B5 mega dosing and this is what he says :





Despite many attempts at changing my diet, taking vitamin, mineral supplements, trying different topicals, etc, I keep finding that the only thing that's ever made a difference to my skin is megadosing on B5 with around 6 - 10 grams.





Generally without it my skin is really really oily, so much so I can see the sebum oozing out of my pores on my face at times if I've just washed. As a result I can get severe acne and find it's generally very high maintenance.





I jumped on the Pantothenic Acid (B5) megadosing bandwagon a few years ago (I'm now 24) and found it really makes a difference to me. My skin dries up to the point I need to use a moisturiser and it makes no difference what I eat, drink, etc, it just works and I'm acne and oil free.





I know people have to be wary of what they read on internet forums but I can guarantee 100% that B5 megadosing completely stops my oil production if taken for long enough at high enough doses. The oily skin also returns when I've stopped taking it.





Were it not for the associated side effects below then I'd probably be happy to continue megadosing on B5 forever and call it my own personal cure. I know B5 megadosing is definitely associated with the side effects I've mentioned as they develop or are more prominent when megadosing and subside after a while if I stop taking it.





Metabolism increases, which in itself isn't always a bad thing as it helps me stay slim, but I find my body temperature is greatly elevated during any, even minor such as walking, physical activity resulting in heat intolerance and bad sweating.





The big one for me seems to be that it speeds up male pattern baldness. I know people could say it's a coincidence and it's not the B5 but I've seen a direct correlation between B5 megadosing and the rate at which my hairline recedes. I'm not saying B5 caused me to get MPB but it certainly accelerates it.





Every time I've tried to stop taking B5 my skin is generally okay for a small period of time but gradually the oiliness returns and I need to start taking it again as nothing else appears to work as well. To try and help with the side effects I've tried taking a B-50 complex but that seems to have a negative impact on the effect of B5 and I get oily skin again.





Ultimately I don't want to be a slave to B5 for the rest of my life because of the side effects. What I'm trying to understand is the action by which Pantothenic Acid is capable of stopping all oil production so I can specifically try and target that rather than risk using B5 for the rest of my life.





Are there any theories as to exactly what action B5 megadosing has on the body, either directly or indirectly with regards to androgen levels and other vitamins / minerals, adrenals, etc? There seems to be lots of contradictory information regarding it's and other natural treatments actions. I'm guessing that somehow it's increasing DHT in the follicle for it to accelerate MPB but maybe that means my skins more susceptible to Free Testosterone of which there will be less if B5 is assisting in converting it into DHT.





Hope this answer your question.
