Yes, a lot of people is losing hair. My 34 olde daughter is. She has lots of secondary effects, mainly fatigue and cluded-mind. But she is taking folic acid at least 5 times a week 5to 10 mg, and injecting B12 3 times a week (one of these injections with B1 and B6),. She is trying to follow an elimination diet to discard same fodds that can trigger inflammation. You would need to take at least 10 mg of zinc with every meal.
For some people, the hair keeps falling with methro, unless they stop medication and then, in some months it is suppossed the hair grows again normally. Try EMU oil put gently on scalp. But hair falls due to the pharmacologic effect, the is why folic acid helps in some aspects.
Metho stops almost every regenerative processes in the body.
Best wishes
