When is Haarausfall Check actually useful?

The Haarausfall Check (hair loss test) from MyBody-X is useful when you want to explore genetic predispositions (e.g., AR, EDA2R variants) or nutritional deficiencies (iron, vitamin D, zinc) that may contribute to hair loss. However, the evidence is mixed: GWAS studies show small effect sizes, and clinical utility is limited. The test can serve as a screening tool but does not replace medical diagnostics (e.g., blood work, hormone panels). Marketing often overstates benefits; actual usefulness depends on your individual risk profile. For sudden or patchy hair loss, consult a dermatologist first.
