Post COVID hair loss: Will it grow back?
My husband had severe COVID in late Oct/early November, and now his hair is falling out rapidly. Has anyone else experienced this, and did it grow back?
Thanks,
Nicole

I’ve had success with Nutrafol, ( evidence-based research showed hair growth with it).
zinc, and magnesium glycinate. ( My NP suggested getting from Metagenics
http://www.metagenics.com
Provider must be registered with them, no RX needed, it’s a supplement.
It’s Mag Glycinate, highly absorbable magnesium.
Each tab- 100 mg magnesium bi-glycinate
1 tab 3x/day.
She gave it to me for insomnia-
3 tabs at bedtime. Works well for me
What a great share!!
So many of us are hoping for encouragement, and this is it!
I will contact and order these resources. Thanks so very much.

When I had COVID the first time, I thought I was going to go bald I lost so much hair. It happened 4 months after having COVID.
It finally stopped falling out and my hair came back. It took a while though. Prayers & Hugs.
Did you take the Mag Gly 3 x day AND 3 more at bedtime? Or just 3 during the day?
Is there a specific Zinc you took?
Again, thank you profusely for this information. At age 81 my hair is about the only
cosmetic prop I have left!

1 ReactionHi -
Sorry I was unclear-
No, 1 tab 3 times per day.
My NP has me take the 3 together at bedtime for insomnia.
Please ask your provider before you take anything.
My hair did grow back,
and I completely understand hair being the 1 cosmetic prop left!! (me too)..

2 ReactionsNot to worry. It grows back, but I’ve been diligent with the supplements. Viviscal, zinc, magnesium. My hair won’t stop growing! Truth! Long and heathy.
Now if they find a cure for Covid fatigue, I’ll tolerate the rest of COVID’s abuse. The fatigue is insane, but doesn’t hold me down.

1 ReactionI've almost got the formula down pat!
I'm not sure if you took Viviscal, zinc, magnesium, AND Nutrifol all at the same time
Your first generous response mentions only Nutrifol
The next omits it
I know too much vitamin B is advised against, so just want to be sure
Thank you (again, and again)
I had covid march 2020. I then had two vaccines 8 months later. My immune system went haywire. Hands swelled. RA factor neg. Had endometrial cancer. Surgery. Hysterectomy. Got covid again. Hair fell out. Taking nutrafol. Vitamins. Then almost year later ILC left breast. Lumpectomy. No radiation. Not taking hormone blocker. Hair is growing back. Taking methetrexate for swelling and plaquenil, folic acid and swelling gone. Feel almost normal. Try to sleep 6-7 hours a night. Work out on elyptical 25 to 40 minutes a day. Eat blueberries everyday. Celery juice and broccoli daily with protein prebiotic Dailey. We will see. Try to meditate twice a day to be stress free. My hair is stronger and longer. There is magnesium and calcium in my vitamins too. Living my life.
You are a “star!” Beautifully proactive! I’m convinced I’m functioning because of all I did and am doing to live life, take the punches, and hit back harder. I am so grateful you shared with me. You go, girl! And a big hug to you. You got this! Diet and exercise is magical. You and I get that😊…All the best of wishes to you…
What a trooper you are!! And an example to all of us that are struggling somewhere
along the continuum. My prayers and meditations for so many and so much happening in todays world.
Be Well
