Most oils, vitamins, and supplements will do next to nothing for treating pattern baldness. The natural paths that do work like Saw Palmetto and Rosemary Oil have more effective and FDA approved drugs like finasteride and minoxidil with the same exact mechanisms. The "natural route" is snake oil at best.
One of the only times taking vitamins to regrow hair is if you're severely deficient to the point it caused your body to excessively shed hair.
Most of us poor bastards on r/tressless will tell you the same thing.

When I was referring to rosemary oil, I meant to compare it to minoxidil but I forgot to put the term "respectively" at the end of my second sentence to signal that.
