<p>Hi all</p>
<p>Just wondering if Vit D actually works for anybody?</p>
<p>I worked in Kenya for 3 years and my hair grew back - I spent a huge amount of time in the sun, since then I have moved to work in Bangkok where although it is sunny, I spend a lot more of my time inside and don't actually get a lot of sun. My hair has started falling out again which is a major bummer....I have 2 medium sized patches.</p>

<p>Hi all</p>

<p>I worked in Kenya for 3 years and my hair grew back - I spent a huge amount of time in the sun, since then I have moved to work in Bangkok where although it is sunny, I spend a lot more of my time inside and don't actually get a lot of sun. My hair has started falling out again which is a major bummer....I have 2 medium sized patches.</p>
<p>So does vitamin D work? Many people talk about their shedding cycles - losing their hair in the winter, so this would tie in with the sun theory.</p>
<p>In addition to this, talking to people in Mombasa they have never heard of alopecia. I honestly can't say I've ever seen someone with alopecia in the tropics - wig or no wig, I'm pretty good at spotting it after having it since I was 9 (now 32). When I go back to the UK I see so many people with patches of hair missing or no hair, and wearing scarves and wigs. Could it actually be linked to Vitamin D? Or is that a high oversimplification?</p>
<p>Anybody with experience with taking Vitamin D would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>
