Thank you for these videos! I’m vegan but I’ve suffered with ferritin issues forever. I have lots of hair so it didn’t bother me that my hair was falling out so much until it started looking like my hair is receding in the front. Your black strap molasses comment helped me. I take that along with lots of greens and fruits and whole grains and an iron pill by Thorne. I’m noticing my gray hair is going away. That’s cool! Thank you for your calming and positive personality while doing these videos. I know you are helping give a lot of people hope with their hair situation. Stay blessed :)
That's interesting. I am vegan also. But my hair issues started way before I went vegan. However, I have found that making sure my iodine and, zinc, iron, magnesium, boron and selenium were optimal. All the foods she mentions will help. I also now "hyper nourish". Hyper nourishing is a term by Dr Brooke Goldner you can find her on you tube and she has a website. She is a vegan Dr. She had lupus, stage 4 renal failure an mini strokes and yet cured herself. She mainly does autoimmunity but loads and loads of people do the hyper nourishing protocol for GOOD HEALTH and it was actually Thomas Tadlock her husband who got her onto this protocol in the first place. It's a green smoothie but the ratos of how its put together is what is key to the success. I do it now most days. It was hard work consuming it in the beginning like in the first two weeks but your body switches by week three and now my body just asks for the smoothies. Seriously!!! It really helped I think so much with my nutrition and my hair fall. She helped me reverse sub clinical hypothyroidism within 7 weeks and that was my original reason for joining it after a You Tuber suggeted it!!!! She has a great book and a Facebook page you can join. I now feel sooooo much better and I reduced my stress a lot too my incorporating restorative yoga ( heart alchemy yoga on you tube is the best as she doesn't interpret constantly like others do) and I do that 3 times a week before I go to bed. If you need to cut your hair to help then do it. I did and I don't regret it. It is much healthier for it too. So for now, I am helping my hair by having in quite short. I also use a hair oil which I found off the website Etsy which is brilliant for conditioning my scalp. I can't recall the name exactly but it has amazing herbs etc in it. The company name is "something,,,, BARNET" in the UK and the lad who sells it did a you tube video. I think that has helped my hair too without doubt. But it is mainly what's going on inside your body. What this video has to say is very very true although I am not sure if spirulina is ok in otherways. Check out nutritionfacts.org as I think Dr Greger had a warning about it for some other reason besides iron. Just check.
Hi I had unplanned weight loss two years ago due to stress, which I think finally tipped my ferritin levels too low (12 at the lowest). I also think heavy periods have contributed. I've been taking Ferrus Fumerate, Vit C and L-Lysene as a combination which has pumped up my levels. I never used to eat beef (I don't really like it) but it's now in my diet. I knew something was wrong when my hair started falling out and breaking off. My hair is still nowhere near what it was but it has at least stopped falling out! I'd love to get my old hair back but not sure if that will happen. Thank you for your youtube journey - it's always helpful to see other people with similar issues. I wish you well and lots of lovely new hair growth!! :)
+K Bee Stress can definitely have a major impact on your hair and body in general! I am happy to hear your hair fall has stopped! Thank you for watching and I wish you the same!
Here are some other vitamins you should include in your diet to help the hair growth. Beside iron and i like liquid iron like Floradix. You should watch your iodine make sure you have enough. Iodine is important for your hormones mainly your Thyroid which is the master gland controlling all the hormones in your body. Low iodine will be another cause of hair loss and it’s hard to find in your regular diet so it’s best to supplement. Another vitamin that’s absolutely necessary for your immune system and overall health is D3. D3 is essential to good health and may cause hair loss if your levels are low. Fish oils are great source of good fats. And most of all drink lots and lots of water. Like the flowers need water to grow so do our hair.
For iron deficiency, you need heme-iron which has a 50% absorption rate in the body. Iron in plants only has a 5% absorption rate. Heme-iron is found in liver and red meat.
This is true. For those people who don't eat liver or red meat it is much harder to obtain enough iron in the day. Taking Vitamin C with plants rich in iron will help the absorption rate.
@@CarolynRosefolksnaturalliving How to stabilise my ferritin! I took iron supplements my ferritin went from 39 to 100 but now 4 months later they're back to 63 wth. :( I used to eat meat rarely but now I'm eating meat more often I hope this will fix everything.

really help ful video!!!!can you please tell me the exact months when you started falling your hair and when you stopped and secondly when you started taking iron supplements ???
A Yasir honestly my hair started getting worse in 2009. I had become a vegetarian in 2007 and was one until 2016. I believe that and my period made me become anemic over the years. The worst of my hair fall started in 2015. I eventually chopped my hair off in 2016 (to ear length). I started taking iron pills January 2017. I noticed my my hair not falling out as much around the end of March. And the last three months I have noticed some new hair growth! :) it has definitely been a journey.
@@CarolynRosefolksnaturalliving I suspect it's not just the calcium, because coffe also blocks the absorption of iron. I suspect it's also caffiene. Which there is caffiene in coaco beans.
Hey! My ferritin was at 33.5 last month. Im taking iron supplements I feel positive but I don't know if there's growth. Would there be some other cause?
Thanks. Its so good to walk this jurney with you. I simpethize with all you said. All true. What do you think about gelatin from bone? Have you tried it? There are even pills.... i have found out myself that i cant be vegan. Keep the updates! Best regards from israel!
Hiya, I've just been put on ferrous fumerate supplements. I'm taking other multivitamins also. I've been having hair loss issues for a while. Just wondering, how long did it take for you to notice hair regrowth after starting the supplements?
my ferritin is at 26, my doctor said to eat more greens and red meat, she didnt prescribe me anything. I still feel tired and my hair is still thin and I have dizzy spells. What can I get that doesnt require a prescription?
xVvix xnNix Yes! So after my iron levels got higher my doctor told me to switch to a daily prenatal vitamin that has a high percentage of iron. Prenatal vitamins usually have more iron in them than normal daily vitamins.
I have been struggling for low ferritin throughout my life, but now I want to fix it , I have tried so many different brands and nothing seems working. my ferritin is still the same as last year i.e 33. However, my hb has increased from 13.5 to 15. my other blood parameters are within normal range. can you please help me what causing to not increasing in ferritin levels. my physician infact hematologist is not concerned about this . as they said you are perfectly fine but I know I am losing hair from front.
C G M Hello! I never tried it so I cannot say from personal experience that it will work. However, it is just important that you get a good dose of vitamin C with your supplement.
I have my niece that's 20 years old that's has a very low ferritin and she's been going through this for a long time can you please tell me what kind of vitamins you're taking does she need a prescription to get the vitamins
Hello Anna! Here is a link to my hair growth journey Part 2. I show the picture of the vitamins I am taking and talk about them. I did need a prescription, so your niece will most likely have to talk to her healthcare provider. Thanks for watching and I hope this helps! th-cam.com/video/FiSlhlI9JQI/w-d-xo.html
Hello i hope u are doing well please reply !! I am going thru the same problem and i have been crying literally every day and i am doing everything i can but i just wanna know if my hair will ever go back as thick as it was with time or will it just stop falling out tthank yoi so much
Please know that your hair does not define you and that you would be a beautiful person even without hair! Try to stay on the positive side, as being upset can cause stress on the body and more hair fall. Just keep focusing on your health from the inside, and then you will notice changes on the outside. Its a very long journey. It took several years for my hair to get back to normal so keep your chin up and just focus on being healthy! Good luck
My ferritin was 1, hb 8 and I am on ferritin supplements 1 pill 2 times a day, and ferro pill 1 pill alternate days. This is for 2 months and I go for re test ( blood works) in 2 weeks. I am nervous and hope my results are better. I fell better and my hair has stopped falling out like crazy but they are still thin and have broad hairline still .
@@smitashinde6263 my treatment is still on as the level to be normal will take around 8 to 9 months. After 3 months the ferritin went to 9 . And other symptoms did not return.
Hi! How much hairs have you shed initially? for the last 6 months I lost like 70% of my hair. Everyday about 300-400 of hairs just fell out everywhere. The hairs are so weak. My lashes started to fell out too. Now I have thin hair :(. And my nails stopped growing which is very weird because I've always complained that I need to cut them off very often. I have iron of 56 and ferritin 30. The doctor told me I'm iron deficient(I was vegetarian for almost a decade) and now I'm taking two iron pills of 100mg each everyday. Was it the a same experience for you? I need to catch up with your journey asap lol.
At ferritin levels around 30 you will definitely experience hair fall! I'm so glad to hear you are on the right track now and are taking iron pills! I would also suggest a daily multivitamin. That will help strengthen your nails and hair. Talk with your doctor to find the right multivitamin for your needs. Good luck on your journey!
Carolyn Rose Thank you! Initially I thought I have something more serious than just a vitamin deficiency 😂🤦🏻♂️ I'll ask the Dr for the multivitamin. A big thank you☺️ for sharing your journey and advice. it help a lot! 👌🏻
Aysha Imtiaz Yes but its still thin. Still suffering from all the symptoms and I have anemia. I’m taking liquid iron prescribed by my dr because I don’t absorb the pills well
Aysha Imtiaz I still have hair loss... my hair is very thin you can see my scalp when its wet. When its dry it looks fine but very different from before. Iron is really important ... iron deficiency is way more than just being tired. It affects memory also 😕 Thank you for the wishes💛 I wish the same for you too:)
+K Slim Hello! I have not gotten a blood test since this video. I have talked with my doctor and planned a blood test in 5 months to make sure I am on track. I talk about the supplements I took in my hair growth journey Part 2!
I am going through the same problem, I have seen your all three videos in regarding this issue .. so wanted to ask you that how much time it will take to stop hair fall as my hairs are falling like crazy from last 1 year and but I haven't paid attention I thought its normal . I am taking biotine and iron supplements from last one month. and also plz tell me that this shampoo is helpful for really sensitive hair or not?
Mala Choudhary I think that everyone is different as to when their hair will stop falling out. For me, it slowly got better within 3 months. And the 3rd month was when I really noticed new hair growth. So hang in there!! You can also go to your doctor and ask for a blood test to check your iron levels to make sure you are on track. My hair along with being thin, is also baby fine. The shampoo worked well and was gentle. The only thing I didn't like about it was the smell. Not terrible but just not good. Thanks for watching and I hope this helps!
hey Rose thank you so much for reply.. Actually I have done my blood test 15 days ago, my iron level is 66 and ferrttin is 18. my thyroid level is also not normal I have started taking medicine for that also from last one week.My hairs are breaking from roots it comes with a small white dots kind of.. which is I think follicle, I am so afraid to comb also :( So what extra care is required. plz reply
Mala Choudhary your iron levels are low but not terrible! It will take awhile for your ferritin to rise. My hair was really bad around Christmas. I hate all my photos from that day because of my hair. But know I am happier with my hair. It really will just take time for your body to balance out and then grow. And just trust in your medicine and try to not stress about it, as stress will have a negative affect on your hair.
Hey there..I know it's more than a year old video and hope that you are healthy n pink of your health but I couldn't have found you at a better time!! I fell sick in november 2018, which sapped me out totally and now here I am 2kgs less..with a ferritin of 16!! I saw a drastic hairfall from dec end..and I was never so scared! Bunch of hair just shedding everytime I evn try to comb.on ferro tab twice a day now but my doc said nothing to worry. I know it's a slow process but I'm scared abt my hair :(
@@kflo2059 Hey there..yes iron supplements did help me. I took them for close to 3 months on doc's advise. My iron levels still keep fluctuating and the result directly shows on my hair..but I'm in a better posotion now!
@@ratnashilpamuramkar6244 after how many months ur hairfall stopped. Iam taking ferrous fumarate for 10 months hairfall not stopped and I again check my ferritin it was 27 Ng/ ml
Iam having hairfall for 5 years and I thought it was genetic and left without treated but after seeing it video I checked ferritin level it was 10 Ng/ ml. This was the reason
I don't think I am struggling with hair loss at this point. At least, I still have a decent amount of hair. But I am struggling with low ferritin. You mentioned it briefly, but what brand do you take and how much? I thought your explanation of the process of raising ferritin was helpful.
Kristinista get it checked and taken care of as soon as possible. I didn’t and I so regret it! I went from knowing I was losing hair to it falling out in clumps! I’ve always had thick long hair and now it’s gone 😭
I’ve been eating red meats ans al the iron rich foods I can ans my iron ans ferrtin are low Someone also told me that grains Endearing block absorption of iron
My Doctor put me on three a day and then went to two and one as my iron got higher and my blood was tested. Its best to ask your Doctor the best dosage for you.
You are correct, the calcium blocks some of the absorption of iron, so if you want to avoid that you can add it into a smoothie that is high in vitamin C to increase the absorption of iron. I personally just love the taste of it in my yogurt. :)
My hb and iron levels have significantly improved but my ferritin levels are dropping every month. I have taken iron pills and now have to switched to mega food blood builder plus I am eating healthy, but nothing seems to be improving my ferritin levels. I have had a full body checkup and everything else is normal except ferritin. Lost so much hair, don't know what to do😭
Aftr my initial blood work (2 yrs bck)I was given ferro grad c which has ferrous sulfate 325mg wch is 105mg elemental iron and 500mg vit c..one per day. But i wasn't regular. Now with low ferritin n mild anemia, i strtd ferro tab wch is 200mg ferrous fumarate wch is 66mg iron..two per day. Hope that's good enough..I hv made dietary changes as well.
@@fozmesh2354 It was called Hemocyte Plus. Ask your doctor if this will be right for you. this is often prescribed to pregnant women. It is technically over the counter medicine but I still needed a prescription to get it. You can see the packing and more information on this video: th-cam.com/video/FiSlhlI9JQI/w-d-xo.html
A Yasir No I did not notice any more hair loss on my cycle than the normal hair loss that I experienced. You might want to tell your doctor that is happening.
soooo the same thing that happend to you is happening to me. my hair fall still hasn't stoppen but i see some new growth. its been falling for 4 years now but i only addressed it 7 months ago . only been taking iron pills for 3 months now. diet change for 7 months. still hair fall . not sure where my ferritin is now,i figured its still falling out so its still not high enough, y test ? at least untill i see the shedding stop.. but. mine was from being vegan for a year and i have a heavy menstrual cycle. but i do know for a fact that is is from being vegan and not specifically menstrual because my period stopped when i was vegan and that is when the hair loss started.
Sharday Cota What kind of iron are you taking and how much? I hope it starts getting better soon! I will make another update in a month to see my progress. Thanks for watching!
I have been able to balance my iron levels by taking iron supplements. Although eating liver and steak can do this too, some people might not want to eat these because of personal ethical beliefs.
Am so happy to have people like you in this world.
when i lose hope i always come back to your videos, thank you for these!
What?

- iron supplements
- silk pillow case gentle on hair

You can buy iodised salt instead of normal salt, it tastes no different.
I would agree Im trying iodine drops along with D3 , plus iron tablets and boosting protein rich foods us women under eat protein
@@lizb4156 salt is not a good source of iodine. Eat iodine rich foods like sea food, kelp, sea moss etc.

Aysha Imtiaz Yes but its still thin. Still suffering from all the symptoms and I have anemia. I’m taking liquid iron prescribed by my dr because I don’t absorb the pills well
Aysha Imtiaz I still have hair loss... my hair is very thin you can see my scalp when its wet. When its dry it looks fine but very different from before. Iron is really important ... iron deficiency is way more than just being tired. It affects memory also 😕 Thank you for the wishes💛 I wish the same for you too:)
@@E10l hi, how's your b12 now? Do you still take injection?
What was ur ferritin level after supplement?
Pumpkin seeds,cacao powder,spirulina,and hempseed
Your hair looked fuller and healthier! 👌👏
Thank you so much!!
When did the hair loss stop? please tell me
Wet brand hairbrushes are really good.
high as of today do you know what your ferritin level is? And have you taken any iron supplements to raise your ferritin?
+K Slim Hello! I have not gotten a blood test since this video. I have talked with my doctor and planned a blood test in 5 months to make sure I am on track. I talk about the supplements I took in my hair growth journey Part 2!
Love u a lot, u r such a one of the world, I pleasure that I see u
I am going through the same problem, I have seen your all three videos in regarding this issue .. so wanted to ask you that how much time it will take to stop hair fall as my hairs are falling like crazy from last 1 year and but I haven't paid attention I thought its normal . I am taking biotine and iron supplements from last one month. and also plz tell me that this shampoo is helpful for really sensitive hair or not?
Mala Choudhary I think that everyone is different as to when their hair will stop falling out. For me, it slowly got better within 3 months. And the 3rd month was when I really noticed new hair growth. So hang in there!! You can also go to your doctor and ask for a blood test to check your iron levels to make sure you are on track. My hair along with being thin, is also baby fine. The shampoo worked well and was gentle. The only thing I didn't like about it was the smell. Not terrible but just not good. Thanks for watching and I hope this helps!
hey Rose thank you so much for reply.. Actually I have done my blood test 15 days ago, my iron level is 66 and ferrttin is 18. my thyroid level is also not normal I have started taking medicine for that also from last one week.My hairs are breaking from roots it comes with a small white dots kind of.. which is I think follicle, I am so afraid to comb also :( So what extra care is required. plz reply
Mala Choudhary your iron levels are low but not terrible! It will take awhile for your ferritin to rise. My hair was really bad around Christmas. I hate all my photos from that day because of my hair. But know I am happier with my hair. It really will just take time for your body to balance out and then grow. And just trust in your medicine and try to not stress about it, as stress will have a negative affect on your hair.
Thank you sweety for reply
@@malachoudhary5653 what happened now? Is your lost hair back?
Hey there..I know it's more than a year old video and hope that you are healthy n pink of your health but I couldn't have found you at a better time!! I fell sick in november 2018, which sapped me out totally and now here I am 2kgs less..with a ferritin of 16!! I saw a drastic hairfall from dec end..and I was never so scared! Bunch of hair just shedding everytime I evn try to comb.on ferro tab twice a day now but my doc said nothing to worry. I know it's a slow process but I'm scared abt my hair :(
Ratnashilpa Muramkar do you have an update. I have a similar story and just starting on iron
@@kflo2059 Hey there..yes iron supplements did help me. I took them for close to 3 months on doc's advise. My iron levels still keep fluctuating and the result directly shows on my hair..but I'm in a better posotion now!
@@ratnashilpamuramkar6244 after how many months ur hairfall stopped. Iam taking ferrous fumarate for 10 months hairfall not stopped and I again check my ferritin it was 27 Ng/ ml
Iam having hairfall for 5 years and I thought it was genetic and left without treated but after seeing it video I checked ferritin level it was 10 Ng/ ml. This was the reason
What supplements did you use to increase ferritin levels
Thank you ....
I don't think I am struggling with hair loss at this point. At least, I still have a decent amount of hair. But I am struggling with low ferritin. You mentioned it briefly, but what brand do you take and how much? I thought your explanation of the process of raising ferritin was helpful.
Kristinista get it checked and taken care of as soon as possible. I didn’t and I so regret it! I went from knowing I was losing hair to it falling out in clumps! I’ve always had thick long hair and now it’s gone 😭
@@kflo2059 Ah, sorry :( My ferritin is up to 48 from 13. I worked so hard on it and am proud of how far I've come.
@@mrskeppers1 Wonderful! What did you do?
Was something vibrating or humming around 10:06??
I’ve been eating red meats ans al the iron rich foods I can ans my iron ans ferrtin are low Someone also told me that grains Endearing block absorption of iron
Hi.Can you make more skincare formulation videos. Can make seperate videos about natural preservative, emulisifiers, surfactants,... plz
That sounds like a lot of fun! Thank you for the suggestion. I will work on it.
how many hemocyte capsules did you eat a day when your ferritin level was really low?
My Doctor put me on three a day and then went to two and one as my iron got higher and my blood was tested. Its best to ask your Doctor the best dosage for you.
Mine was at 4. Not sure what it's supposed to be
Hello, i am facing hairfall, my hemoglobin level is 11 and fertin is 25, it's ok or not??
for optimal hair growth you should try to get to a level of 70 (ferritin)
I read that combine calcium with iron is bad combination in your case yogurt with coca powder
You are correct, the calcium blocks some of the absorption of iron, so if you want to avoid that you can add it into a smoothie that is high in vitamin C to increase the absorption of iron. I personally just love the taste of it in my yogurt. :)
My hb and iron levels have significantly improved but my ferritin levels are dropping every month. I have taken iron pills and now have to switched to mega food blood builder plus I am eating healthy, but nothing seems to be improving my ferritin levels. I have had a full body checkup and everything else is normal except ferritin. Lost so much hair, don't know what to do😭
You should take a look at this video: th-cam.com/video/q0QRGTcJSbI/w-d-xo.html
It might be a way for you to ask your doctor more questions.
Candida and parasites feed on iron and burden the liver. Also being gluten intolerant might block iron absorbtion
@@malaslatkaja Great to know! Thanks for sharing
@@malaslatkaja hey I am gluten intolerant omg please elaborate?
Aftr my initial blood work (2 yrs bck)I was given ferro grad c which has ferrous sulfate 325mg wch is 105mg elemental iron and 500mg vit c..one per day. But i wasn't regular. Now with low ferritin n mild anemia, i strtd ferro tab wch is 200mg ferrous fumarate wch is 66mg iron..two per day. Hope that's good enough..I hv made dietary changes as well.
Thats great! Good Luck!
Hey, could you please tell me what is your iron pills? Which brand? I couldn’t find pill with high iron.
@@fozmesh2354 It was called Hemocyte Plus. Ask your doctor if this will be right for you. this is often prescribed to pregnant women. It is technically over the counter medicine but I still needed a prescription to get it. You can see the packing and more information on this video: th-cam.com/video/FiSlhlI9JQI/w-d-xo.html
a quick question!!!!!did you notice any more hairloss during menstrual cycle every month???
A Yasir No I did not notice any more hair loss on my cycle than the normal hair loss that I experienced. You might want to tell your doctor that is happening.
Carolyn Rose thanks for telling me and yes i did tell him so he said you will see a difference after 3 months taking iron supplements.
My iron is normal but my Ferratin low ....
Mine too! Idk how to raise my ferrtin
keep me updated
Why not eat fortified cereal and get 80 - 100% of your daily iron?
That's definitely an option! One draw back is that cereal is usually served with milk which contains calcium which hinders the absorption of iron
My ferritin is 8 i have lost 70 percent of mu hair is ferritin the culprit
Yes! Definitely talk to your doctor to come up with a treatment plan. Good luck!
soooo the same thing that happend to you is happening to me. my hair fall still hasn't stoppen but i see some new growth. its been falling for 4 years now but i only addressed it 7 months ago . only been taking iron pills for 3 months now. diet change for 7 months. still hair fall . not sure where my ferritin is now,i figured its still falling out so its still not high enough, y test ? at least untill i see the shedding stop.. but. mine was from being vegan for a year and i have a heavy menstrual cycle. but i do know for a fact that is is from being vegan and not specifically menstrual because my period stopped when i was vegan and that is when the hair loss started.
Sharday Cota What kind of iron are you taking and how much? I hope it starts getting better soon! I will make another update in a month to see my progress. Thanks for watching!
You need to consume steak and beef liver several times every week! Trust me please or suffer
I have been able to balance my iron levels by taking iron supplements. Although eating liver and steak can do this too, some people might not want to eat these because of personal ethical beliefs.
