Essential amino acids stopped me from losing hair, and it’s been growing back really well. I started HU in February when diagnosed with ET, 1000 mg per day, and my hair was falling out in handfuls, especially when I combed it. Started amino acids in July for a different reason, but soon realized my hair was no longer falling out. The brand I use is Double Wood. Maybe it’ll work for you also. 65F

Thank you so much for your reply & great your hair begun to grow back.
I consume foods listed under Essential Amnio Acids but may not be taking these foods in sufficient quantities.
I further read that mushroomcontain a high amount of these nutrients.
Apologies for layout of print, have to check my settings.
Good luck with the hair growth.

I was diagnosed with ET in November2022. Taking
1000 mg Hydroxuria daily. I have no side effects
other than getting a little tired in the afternoon.
Just noticed that my hair is thinning a little more.
It started about 10 years ago, might not have anything
to do with the Medication. Also had a total Hystorectemy about 6 weeks ago. I am almost 70
years old, lack of Hormones might be the problem.
Will talk to my Oncologist if Double Wood or something
similar is safe to take.
I am thankful to have found this forum. It helps to
talk to people with the same blood disorder . Thank you.
