i want to talk about the importance of vitamin d  with your hair there’s a huge association between  

hair loss and low vitamin d levels let me tell  you why because right beneath your skin okay so  

you can see your hair right here but right beneath  the skin there is something called the follicle  

and that’s kind of part of the root and on  that root area you have sebaceous glands which  

produce an oil and like a waxy substance that  goes into the hair that protects the hair there’s  

also antibacterial things in there and it does a  lot of other things but both the sebaceous gland  

and the follicle which is right deep in the skin  have vitamin d receptors okay now there’s various  

growth stages of your hair and there’s one called  anagen and this is the new hair growth stage it’s  

the first stage from follicle to the full grown  hair and this stage is dependent on vitamin d and  

so that follicle that actually is an organ now you  think about organs as like the heart the liver the  

kidney but your follicle is an organ too and this  little organ underneath the skin has 20 different  

cell types that regulate the growth of the hair  and there’s all sorts of hormonal involvement  

immune cell involvement and certain proteins that  help regulate this hair and what they found with  

people that have hair loss and a type of hair loss  called alopecia which is an autoimmune condition  

where you have patches of hair falling out there’s  been a higher level of mutations with vitamin d  

and i’m talking about the receptor for vitamin  d it’s called the vdr the vitamin d receptor  

if you haven’t seen my video on this i put a link  down below but what happens with a certain percent  

of the population is they have this variant  or this alteration in the vitamin d receptor  

this mutation that can actually also spread  to your offspring as well but this mutation  

doesn’t allow a person to absorb vitamin d and  so if they’re taking the normal amount about md  

or getting a certain amount of sun it doesn’t work  and all of a sudden they start losing their hair  

and what they should do is take more vitamin  d minimally 10,000 IUs of vitamin d and  

in my video you’ll see i also recommend bio salts  which can also activate the vitamin d receptor  

if there’s a problem with this mutation anyway the  point about this video is to make people aware on  

the significance of vitamin d in relationship  to your hair and if you are losing hair  

don’t forget about vitamin d hey before you  go if you’re benefiting from any of my content
