葉酸 : 休止期脱毛症
B エビデンス 少なくとも1件のランダム化試験がこれを支持しており、おおむね一貫した結果が得られています。合計4,166名の参加者を対象とした6件の研究に基づく。研究間で結果にばらつきが見られる。
結論
There is limited evidence connecting folate to telogen effluvium — while low folate levels have been observed in some patients, research does not yet support folate supplementation as a reliable approach for this condition.
- Mixed results across 6 studies — no consistent pattern linking folate levels to telogen effluvium
- All studies are observational; no randomized controlled trials exist for this specific use
- Folate is one of many micronutrients that may play a supporting role in hair health
- A comprehensive nutritional assessment may be more useful than supplementing folate alone
