Could a nutritional deficiency cause a hair loss similar to MPB?
I was just wondering because my hairline has been doing strange things once I started correcting low iron and low vit. d

Yes but it is not as likely as actually being MPB.

Too bad we never see any good studies on stuff like this. Someone do a study on a guy with no MPB and put him on a horrible diet for a month or two. I would be curious to see how big a role diet can play in hair. All we ever get is the usual guessing and talk I sometimes doubt if anyone knows much if anything on MPB

because I had taken 100+ mg of zinc/day for about a month and then trying to correct acne was taking a huge dose of saw palmetto for a couple days and then stopped and then for 7+ months shed and had a receding hairline and now my hairline appears to be returning..I also started trying to correct a vit. d deficiency.
Now I take blackstrap molasses and vitamin d + a multivitamin
Look at my post 6 months before and now which has pictures. No propecia, no rogaine..actually I used rogaine ONCE.

Somebody made a thread about this a few weeks ago. Like Tracy said, it's possible, but not likely.

No need for studies just go spend a few hours at McDonalds or somewhere similar, you will see obese people with terrible diets and perfect heads of hair. The nutrition angle is the same as all environmental factors, it can cause hairloss but it's highly unusual.

I know a friend of a friend who was having some hairloss. He went to his doctor and got a blood test which came back that he had low iron. Added some to his diet and his hair grew back. Lucky guy that it was something so simple and not actual MPB.

low iron...it still would take a 7-9 months to see any sort of return I'm guessing..then again I didn't supplement iron, I just waited for it to return and now I see small hairs becoming terminal and growing. But it was almost a year ago that this happened..

Bad nutrition does not cause MPB, and if it causes hair loss it definitely isn't of the permanent variety. I highly doubt it though, so many people have been on great dieting and nutrition and they still go bald. Only thing I can think of is if you were already going to have MPB, maybe a bad diet accelerates it, and even that's pushing it.

Sounds like denial. Denial cost me my temples. See a derm ASAP.
