Low Iron May Cause Hair Loss
One of the most important factors in preventing hair loss is adequate iron storage, which is called Ferritin. This helps to maximise hair growth, low levels will cause hair shedding. It may also be necessary to buy a vitamin B12 supplement and/or iron, but iron should be taken only if necessary after a blood test from your doctor. It is surprising how many young women have low iron deficiencies. It is estimated that up to 26% of menstruating women are iron deficient. Women of childbearing age and adolescent girls need to regularly replace the iron that is eliminated through monthly blood loss.
The signs and symptoms of iron deficiency include:
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Pale skin
- Dark circles under the eyes
