Upon seeing the suggestion, I started using littlexttaa hair growth serum daily and rinsing it out with cocoonioon shampoo twice a week. Combining these steps gave me new hair in only 48 days.
I was advised by my dermatologist to use the reactiivate hair growth serum, and I’m glad I followed his advice because it has finally helped me grow new hair

what's your haemoglobin? mine's 11.3 and I'm witnessing a lot of hair loss. i don't know if my haemoglobin is low enough to trigger hair loss, or it's some other cause.
One of the most underdiagnosed reasons for hair loss no question. A most recent blood test showed I had a low Ferritin and Iron level but was within their 'reference range'. At first glance, it looks on the low side but fine until my NP doctor saw the numbers and said you're anemic! I opted for iron weekly iron injections and my hair is no longer falling out and my energy is through the roof! No question regrowth will happen. This company also happens to have some great hair growth products check them out.
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: Thank you so much for your feedback Rob! It means a lot to us and we're happy that you were able to stop your hair loss! :)
not one of my doctors has mentioned iron infusions and my iron/ferritin has been low for years now. It just finally caused hair thinning/breakage/loss, my hair used to be extremely thick and now it is extremely thin and sad. im at quite a low point, been taking iron supplements for a while and it has not been helping. am going to keep trying, but I just miss my hair so much.
It took me 12 years to really blame low iron.. I’ve been supplementing off and on for 12 years, but last three months, eating meat daily as well… my hair is down my back suddenly and stays in my head. 🙏🏻
I've tested numerous things. The only things that really worked in my case: A nutritious diet, decent sleeping timings, moving your body atleast for 25 mins, eating right, using good shampoo and oil. I use only liiitlleextra coconinon hydrating shampoo and hair oil for this reason plus it does the work. The hairfall got under control with it.
Nice smell and thick oil from littllllextra cocooniioon. Noticed good results following using the a month. Hairfall has stopped and my hair have become thick.
My ferritin in was 11 ( three months ago ) I’m unable to take iron tablets so have been awaiting an infusion for three months…. I’m exhausted and have hair loss but my Drs don’t seem to care. I’m in uk. Very informative video, thank you.
Over the last 3 years ive lost what appears to be about 40% of my hair. Ive always been anemic due to heavy periods. Lately my hemoglobin has stabilized but i still have low iron and my most recent ferritin came back at 5!!! After watching this video im so thrilled to have another option. I thought id run out of options. Ive tried all kinds of creams oils and hair loss products - some prescribed by my dermatologist. I'll be trying this for sure and will give an update in 6 months. Thank you for the valuable information and the clear, succinct explanation!
phenomenal. I am blood type O. I realized that years ago my hair loss was affected by doing a vegetarian diet. I knew I shocked my system and then created digestive problems. I then tried eating macrobiotically, thinking this was healthier, yet I lost energy and endurance. The moment I started eating according to my blood type, I felt so much better. but the damage had been done. Your explanation aligns with my experience and my gut feeling. I took your hair quiz, talked to your staff, bought products, and have a phone consultation soon. I already know my afro is coming back strong Doc. lol Thank You. I am definitely an androgenic alopecia candidate.
OMG, thank you so much for this lecture. It’s answered so many questions I’ve had over the years concerning cyclical hair loss. Luckily, my current doctor is supporting all my blood tests (I live in the UK and the National Health Service is limited in what they can do) so I should hopefully have some answers and get a treatment plan by the end of the week. It’s really comforting to know there may be something to help my hair loss. It’s been so demoralising growing my hair only to have it start falling out in clumps again.

My hair was falling like crazy for yrs. I kept it short. I finally went to a doctor and she discovered my iron was at 4. She got me 2 infusions and my hair has gotten thicker. I can have it long now
please give me some hope if you can, my hair used to be so thick and in a matter of months its gotten extremely thin, i barely recognize myself. Im worried my hair will never be like it used to, or at best it will take me multiple years to get back to the thickness/length/health i have been working on for years
Update: finally got to an appointment and I’ll be getting new blood tests and seeing a dermatologist. My hair has gotten so much worse. The doctor walks in and first thing she says is “well you were anemic but the worst was with ferritin but that’s just iron” it was a direct answer. God really just let everything fall in place. Hopefully they can get something for me but even if it’s not fixable it’s still nice to know. Thank you for your help, Doctor. You’re the only Doctor so far I’d trust.
That's very kind. Pretty soon we will have microscopes that we can send anywhere in the world so you can send us your scalp photos and we can help remotely.
Excellent video, thank you! I have been researching this topic on my own for a decade now and this is exactly the same conclusions that I have found as well :)
I was recently diagnosed with chronic anemia based on my ferritin levels, and have had to have iron infusions. Slowly but surely my hair is coming back.
I lost 80% of my hair due to iron deficiency. My latest ferritin is at 21, even after taking 112mg of iron for so long. I had an iron infusion (3x), and that made everything worse after. Derm diagnosed me with TE due to the iron infusion. I tracked my hair loss, and after I got the infusion, I went downhill. I never thought I would be going bald because of this. I have done so much to improve, from eating well, supplements, etc. Doctors have been no help. The hematologist told me he would release me since all he could offer was rounds of infusion.
I think I have this and my mom and grandmom. And now at 38 I am getting hair loss in a very similar pattern. 😞. Could it be hereditary to have low iron?
This is so so so so true. Just today i have got to know that i am iron deficient and now i know what was contributing to my hair loss. I am increasing my iron dose tablet.
Great info Will, I'm still in the midst of my 3 month treatment you recommended. Everything is going well and working rather nicely. Before and after pics will come after next month. Love the educational videos. Gary W.
So glad I found this video! I am suffering from TE, 4.5 months in 😞 and it took me a couple of months to even figure out it was TE then another couple of months to find out my ferritin is at an 8! I started iron supplements from my doctor 2 weeks ago, hoping I see my shedding completely stop soon. My thick hair is now so thin, not bald but thin enough my scalp can me seen lightly when I wear my hair up (my temples got hit hard). My density is just awful and I have oily hair because of this. I subscribed! Thank you for this video! Update: 8/5/23 - Unfortunately my hair is still shedding like wildfire 😔 I do now believe and at this point honestly, I *know* the Pfizer vaccine caused my TE. It started in June 2021, quite literally right after my first shot. Not even 2 weeks after because when I got my second dose my hair began to fall out *more* 😒.
Love love love this video. It was very informative and educational.I am blood type O, I take pantaprazole and acid reflux meds,. I suffer with anxiety and chronic fatigue. Blood test show that I have low vitamin D levels and I found out yesterday from my dermatologist that my ferritin was a 4.....so my doc referred me to a hematologist. After watching this video, I learned that taking the acid reflux meds 💊 could be worsening my iron deficiency issue...I plan to stop taking them.
omg.. thank you for the video. my hair has been shedding since late april and it REALLY came out during august september and this month. the doctor said my ferritin is 10 and iron saturation 9. the doctor said that my low ferritin was causing my hair loss so i decided to eat red meat/meat 2 weeks ago and i am taking an iron supplement twice a day. i dont get as many headaches and my fatigue has much improved. i am even seeing some hair growth but the shedding is still excessive and i think it is because my ferritin is so low. thank you for the video and i will cut out coffee ... i was vegetarian 5 years and started veganism this year.. i also drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day and was doing cardio like 3-5 miles a few times a week back in may/june/july/august.. i think all of this caused my iron to deplete and my ferritin went down to 10. i am 26 and it has been devastating seeing my hair thin and come out.. its still shedding but i am going to cut it off and start over and treat my body right. i had no idea what ferritin was until a few weeks ago
Same here sis, my ferritin is 3.7 but my doctor is not concerned about low ferritin level rather she is only prescribing vitamins which is not helping me. May i know which iron supplements you are taking and if it helping or not?
@@Anjali_samjhgayi hey, my ferritin jumped to a 72 last blood test. Go buy floradix right now ! It really helps ! It’s a liquid iron . Take twice a day . My fatigue has recovered and now my hair is shedding is a lot less . Will still take time but the floradix helped raise my iron quickly
@@prometheus6853 hey, shedding has reduced dramatically. But unfortunately in January I got COVID and I was VERY sick with a high fever. In feb / march my hair starting shedding a lot again. However after some months it is reduced again. I just went to a dermatologist this week and she said I was experiencing TE , and it will just take time. My blood work is good and I get baby hairs all over , but she said it will take about 1-2 years for my hair to fully recover. Don’t lose hope, just wait it out.
I found out by accident I am anemic and did not believe until I went on you tube so helpful the video is . I am vegan high cardio weights hair loss and mouth sores ulcers hair loss all over I blamed it on stress as I went threw many things . At 63 I had my first lot of fractures ribs hip wrist that is how I found out. Never tired or grumpy but bruise easy on hands as I do physical work for a woman. Thank you so much for explaining things.
It’s kind of demoralising how I, as a 16 year old male, consulted a dermatologists who intuitively just diagnosed androgenetic alopecia, and prescribed minoxidil. After conducting a blood test I realised my ferritin was at 20…
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: Hi Philipp! If you have family history of hair loss, nutritional deficiencies can quickly expedite the miniaturization process. It's very possible to have both nutritional and hormonal hair loss at the same time but minoxidil isn't the right product for either type of hair loss unfortunately. You definitely need to work on increasing your ferritin level as the number 1 goal.
@@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist What would you recommend? My temples are becoming increasingly visible, but it seems to be some sort of diffuse hair loss, as Im losing hair primarily on the sides of my head, not the crown or much of the temples. Im afraid to consume finasteride due to potential impotence and sexual effects (as 16-year old I still want to have children). The only things Im doing right now is topical minoxidil 5 percent, taking supplements with biotin, B12, zinc, horsetail extract etc (viviscal and neofollics), microneedling at the temples and massages. I received an iron infusion of 200 mg 1 week ago and am taking iron supplement (29 mg) with vitamin C (Blood builder). Do you think these therapies are promising or would you recommend something more?
@@SirCruxful hey man my hair loss completely stopped after starting a program called stop and regrow from a company i lost angeles. They do somewhat an organic form of dutasteride, no side effects and my hair is thicker than ever ;)
👏👏👏😭This is incredible information (tears) THANK YOU SO MUCH DOCTOR !!! I am 41 female with hairloss & lives in the UK 🇬🇧 and my GP (ignored my low levels) has never looked into low Ferritin or low Vitamin D of which I am Chronically low in both (I have watched your video on low Vitamin D as well ). He did the other routine blood tests for hair loss which didn’t show anything. I am now on 210mg Ferrous Femurate & 4000IU Vitamin D, self prescribed over the counter meds. I have only started. It looks like I will have to change from ferrous femurate to the ones you recommend in video....THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING ME HOPE ❤️ PS: I have assessed & excluded all other types of hairloss
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're glad you find this video very helpful and please don't hesitate to let us know if we can help in any way! :)
Hi im in a similar situation with hair loss was wondering what your ferratin levels were if you dont mind me asking? My vit d is at 66nmol/l and my dr is saying this is fine!
Thank you so much for your video. My son started losing his hair at 14. Doctors told me that he was just going bald because of genetics. It took me demanding there was something else going on. Found out when he turned 17 that his ferritin was an 11. He's recently been able to get his ferritin to 55 over the last 8 months. I have doctors telling me he also has androgenic alopecia. He's a diffused thinner on the top of his head. Hoping it will get better soon. He's on an iron supplement, recently started finasteride and oral minoxidil. It's been so frustrating and heartbreaking for him
I'm addition to iron, vitamin d, Try Zinc(+copper to balance) Biotin (+vit b5 if acne issues occur) Hair thinning begins to be rectified around 1-2 months if caused by biotin deficiency, so try 3 months Note that biotin can skew test readings for thyroid and testerone, so tell the doctor whether you need to do tests so they can adjust.

Hi Doctor! I appreciate all your hard work. And the information you bring us. I had a total hysterectomy years ago. And now my hair is dry and brittle. Any help will be appreciated.
"Doctors" I went who studied in europe, north america, south america, you name it all told me my body was attacking itself which I always found as a really stupid explanation and hard to believe. So my body now thinks my hair is a foreign agent and its attacking itself? Yea right. I was sold every expensive treatment in the book. Nothing worked. Obviously because cause was never identified and eliminated. Thank God for TH-cam and for showing me Dr. William. Turns out I was anemic this whole time (4 years!). Smh. Been on D3 and ferronil for 3 days and already noticing huge improvement. Unbelievable. I am low key glad but also super annoyed and lost so much faith on "Doctors". Thank you sir.
I had low ferritin and was a hair loss patient with one of the leading physicians in research - well in advance of a plant based diet. Gut health can play a role not just low iron/ferritin as can having GI bleeding, etc. It is not ideal to just take a supplement without knowing the cause. Fortunately I have good doctors and they confirmed not eating meat had nothing to do with it and advised further workups, while commending me for a healthy plant based diet which reduces other health issues. I am regrowing hair now and I will never change my diet or take supplements unnecessarily as they often have fillers that can compromise the gut.
My goodness! I had my blood lipid panel sent and I am very low in ferritin. No wonder my hair was falling out last year! I thought it was just the stress!
I started getting really bad hair loss starting a couple of months ago but had no idea what was causing it. Hb count is low, ferretin is low, iron is low. everything is in the red. A couple of innocuous things that i identified that could be the main culprits from this video (not a doctor, but in case this helps anyone out there) 1. Matcha. About a year ago, I joined the matcha craze. it'll be the first thing i drink when i wake up and its insane how fast i go through the packets. If the caffeine has been inhibiting iron absorption... i think i found one of the main culprits. 2. F45. I dont exercise. havent been exercising for years but suddenly started and now i see it could have driven my system a lil crazy. these were 2 things the doctors dismissed when i mentioned; they pointed towards low-iron diet as the likely cause but my diet has been the same for years! finally feel heard/seen because if these really are the causes i finally (maybe) triggered the super bad hair fall to suddenly begin. I'm eating the iron tablets as prescribed now, but finally seeing the potential trigger(s) is making me feel so relieved. thank you for this video!
Good morning, I've just found your video and it has answered so many of my questions. I have a 17 year old daughter that has been suffering with shedding for 2 ½ years. We have tried so many different treatments including Minoxidle but nothing is really helping. Her mental health is really suffering as a result. Allot of what you discussed rings true for her. I want to know if I can buy your products in the UK or if there is an alternatives that I could buy.
Great info. Thank you very much. In some sever cases I do Iron injection and follow up with patients. Looking forward for your next video :) Dr. Hanieh Erdmann
Just a friendly suggestion, Get the bloodwork first. I decided to buy the dht block supplement and saw no changes. I recently got bloodwork done and my iron and ferritin levels are super low. I could have saved a lot of time money and stress to my body, by getting this done first. But I'm glad I can start working towards bettering my health and hopefully my hair 😅
My gosh, what great info! My ferritin has been low for over 2 years now, at times too low to measure. Sometimes my hgb dips low as well. My hair is awful, and has been made worse by sepsis from a kidney infection almost 4 months ago. Thanks for addressing this.

I had problems for years feeling exhausted and having episodes of feeling dizzy and winded. I was always put on antidepressants and given anxiety medication and told there was nothing wrong with me. I noticed that I was having trouble completing my normal run during my period. I had thought maybe it was an iron issue because of that, but my doctor always said my blood work was fine. Then I started having horrible heart palpitations, that would last for days or even a week at a time. At the time I was also eating ice non stop. I would go to the gas station near my house and get a large cup of ice two to three times a day. I went to the ER with the heart palpitations and was sent to a cardiologist. I was told it was just pvc’s and totally normal and again, there is nothing wrong with me. Then I started waking up at night with restless leg and feeling winded. I was sent to have a sleep study done and again told there was nothing wrong with me. Basically, was told I’m crazy. It wasn’t until I went to an urgent care office asking for anxiety medication that I found a doctor that actually tested my iron levels. My ferritin was at 5 and iron binding was at 500 and something. I’m forever grateful for that doctor. I had suffered for probably close to ten years with these symptoms that would come and go. Recently, I also was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis after I had an MRI done for back pain and a grapefruit sized mass was found on my left ovary. That was another years long battle with numerous doctors. If there had been a doctor that listened to me I may have gotten the help I needed and not suffered for so long with all the symptoms. I was told my heavy painful periods were normal by every doctor.
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: I'm sorry that happened to you! Unfortunately, that is very true. Most doctors would tell you not to worry about it if it's within normal range even if it's the low end of normal. Your ferritin at 5 was critically low. I hope that has been addressed.
I had a very similar story! Multiple ER visits where I was sent home with atarax (antihistamine) and wasn’t taken seriously. Come to find out I had. Softball sized fibroid, 3 other large fibroids and suspected endo. I had fibroid removal/endo surgery which helped. Also recently found out I’m anemic with low ferritin and have recently started having hair loss. I hope by fixing my iron/anemia will help
I've bought the dht blocking supplement and one month in I've noticed less hair fall for sure. I'm looking to by the serum topical solution too. I once briefly used an acid reflux medication and a big chuck of my hair on my front left side literally wiped away one morning and has stayed thin ever since. I stopped straight after. I also weight train pretty hard 2-3 times a week. My job involves about 7-1/2hrs of lifting moderate to heavy objects. I've instinctively though iron keels might be the reason I've thinned over the years, that and DHT. I feel there is hope now, I'm a very healthy person overall. I meditate, relax, breathe and pray. I throw in some affirmations for good measure too.
My ferritin is 44 , Been to tons of dermatologists they say it’s okay, in range and maybe the iron may work but it could be hereditary. I will start taking the Iron. The last dermatologist discouraged me saying maybe it won’t even work so I never kept up taking it. Now I will try to get the number up to 70.
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: If it's 44ng/ml, that is below optimal. You definitely need to take iron, we recommend derma iron for 3 mos, if non menstruating you can take 1 a day but for menstruating women, you probably need more than that. www.advancedtrichology.com/collections/nutritional-hair-loss-products/products/derma-iron
Hi! Thank you for this information! I am experiencing pretty extreme hair loss, (not for the first time) but I have gotten my ferritin up to 116.0ng/mL and my Iron is 92 but I think my hair loss has Increased. I am on a proton pump inhibiteter for stomach issues, and I do drink coffee a lot.
This was awesome thank you. I just ordered your Ferritin. During the summer my ferritin was at 41. Months later it was 78. The range according to the lab goes from 30-400ng
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: That is great news! If you're a blood type A, you may go off ferritin but if you're a blood type O or B you may need to continue using ferritin and derma iron to reach 100 ng/ml which is optimal for those blood types.
@@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist interesting....didnt know blood type impacted ferritin. Im B+ and have a ferritin of 60. I used to have a hemoglobin of 5 and a ferritin of 16 due to PCOS. Much better know!
My ferritin level is 4 and my hemoglobin is low as well. I feel that I can't function. I feel so tired, so sleepy, can't process information and I can't touch my hair, he will fall if I just touch it. I have talassemia minor. I've been told I can't take iron supplements. Some doctors said I can, some said I can't. I don't know what to do. I can't live like this. Zero energy. All the symptoms that you describe I have. The value of the hemoglobin is 10.1
After saying you can't take iron supplements did they give you other options? How odd that you're anaemic and they just leave you on your own like that's not dangerous
Thank you so much😭 I learned a lot about my body ❤ I have a severe hair loss although I am eating healthy and take a good care of my hair, I went to the dermatologist and I did a blood test and found out I am very low on ferritin!! Now I am taking supplements
@@aishwaryaporwal2321 yesss , I noticed hair growth! My front head started to regrow hair after it was mostly bold (on the sides!) I am so happy with the results, I took Vitamin D too.💖💖 I should have done this instead of buying expensive shampoos and oils! They are all useless if you have low iron and Vitamin D
I am a vegan who also has two very large fibroids that cause terribly heavy menstrual cycles which caused my iron and hemoglobin levels to drop which caused me to develop a weird pica where I ate chalk which caused me to overeat chalk which caused me to damage my esophagus and developed a gastric ulcer which caused me to get on Omeprazole and I’m not taking iron supplements for someone who is already chronically constipated…oh and my hair is thinning and is presenting as receding hairline or female pattern hair loss. Just a mess lol.
My hairline started thinning significantly and the top of my crown had some diffused thinning and one spot with less hair. I have THICK hair so the thinning was quite obvious to me but easy to camouflage. I found out my iron was at 10! My hemoglobin was so low. I’ve been on supplements for a year and it’s finally at 40 but my spot on the top of my head isn’t growing in. The temples seem to be slowly growing in but not like they used to. No one in my family is bald, not even the men. I hope my hair will keep growing in but the top thinning makes me so self conscious. It’s still not a widened part or anything. The dermatologist said it could take over two years to turn the hair around. This video made me think perhaps I have to wait longer. It’s just so scary
Super interesting and exactly what I was looking for. After 20 years of searching for hair loss cause!!! I looked at the website and they offer a blood test analysis which I would love to do. Any chance we can do this at home or abroad (in Europe?) I am afraid I will not have a chance to do this in the US.
Hey! So glad the video hit the mark for you! 🤗 It’s amazing how nutrient deficiencies like iron can play such a big role in hair loss, right? 🌱 ➡️ Check it out at [Advanced Trichology](www.advancedtrichology.com/) for more details!
Hi Dr. G! Great Video and well explained. My ferritin level is low and been noticing more and more hairloss. My hemoglobin is wnl. I still believe I should bring up my level to 70+.
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: Hi Shawn! You definitely need to work on increasing that if it's low. Take the derma iron supplement here: www.advancedtrichology.com/collections/nutritional-hair-loss-products/products/derma-iron.

Best explanation of low ferritin causing hair loss thank u Can i ask a question ❓ Could i take 24mg iron supplement for rest of my life as maintenance dose as i have low appetite
Thanks for reaching out with your question! Taking an iron supplement like the 24 mg dose you mentioned can be helpful, especially if you struggle with maintaining iron levels due to a low appetite. However, it's essential to regularly consult with a healthcare provider to monitor your iron levels and overall health to ensure that this maintenance dose remains appropriate for your needs over time. Always keep an eye on how your body is responding and adjust under medical guidance. Melissa Fox (Customer Service) ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/
Hey William thanks for great info. Where do I get the "Detox Tea" for liver and kidneys? Also the anti-fungal shampoo and conditioner you mentioned in your videos?
This video has been informative. My hair has been thinning for many years since my early twenties and I just dont know why. I don't have polycystic ovary syndrome because I have regular cycles. But my sister does have pcos and she's completely bald so I wondered if it was pcos I have excessive bleeding my whole adult life during cycles and do suffer symptoms of anaemia each time so cold, struggling to breathe, paleness, clammy, and absolutely exhausted and floored where I can't do much. After about 5 days I bounce back. But my hair really sheds where I'm embarrassed by it, people look at my scalp & keep on staring I'm using treatments to make it look thicker but the problems getting worse. It really does cause me annoyance because I use regain, b12 and folate and many other vitamins and hair products over the years. I did a private blood test and it showed a ferretin level of 9. Does this mean low iron, could this be causing my hair loss? Low ferritin I'm AB + and brought up not eating red meat. I also have a condition called erythromelalgia for 17 years and apparently low iron can trigger it, so I am wondering now if its possible I have low iron that's causing it. It's upsetting when your hair falls out and looks worse a nd worse as time goes on 😫
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: When a female starts losing hair since their teens or before the age of 35, there's usually nuritritional deficiency or sensitivity that is diriving the early onset of the hair loss. Your ferritin is critically low which needs to be addressed with correct iron supplementation asap. PCOS is also a possible factor since you're experiencing excessive bleeding which is not normal.

Great information!! Thank you so much doctor! After rising my ferrite level to 70, shall I notice the results immediately or it needs some more months to be noticeable?

Agree
Yes, why can't health practitioner relay this info to me! Really practical advice. Thank you
Amazing explanation doc, thank you so much
This gives me a lot of hope that I can reverse my hair loss because my ferritin was 8! This will be my focus for now
Mine is 19
Is it low?... I'm suffering from hair loss
@@ravina1845yes it is
Hope u are seeing and feeling improvement by now!
Me on 9
19 is low level..optimal level is 70 ..less than 70 can p hair fall and your hair not growing
I'm experiencing major hair shedding; my Iron is low and my Ferritin is @ 15! Thank you so much for this easy to understand deep dive!
what's your haemoglobin? mine's 11.3 and I'm witnessing a lot of hair loss. i don't know if my haemoglobin is low enough to trigger hair loss, or it's some other cause.
How's your ferettin level improved with your hair loss
One of the most underdiagnosed reasons for hair loss no question. A most recent blood test showed I had a low Ferritin and Iron level but was within their 'reference range'. At first glance, it looks on the low side but fine until my NP doctor saw the numbers and said you're anemic! I opted for iron weekly iron injections and my hair is no longer falling out and my energy is through the roof! No question regrowth will happen. This company also happens to have some great hair growth products check them out.
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: Thank you so much for your feedback Rob! It means a lot to us and we're happy that you were able to stop your hair loss! :)
For how long after having hairloss you find the cause
You didn't get any iron stain ?
not one of my doctors has mentioned iron infusions and my iron/ferritin has been low for years now. It just finally caused hair thinning/breakage/loss, my hair used to be extremely thick and now it is extremely thin and sad. im at quite a low point, been taking iron supplements for a while and it has not been helping. am going to keep trying, but I just miss my hair so much.
It took me 12 years to really blame low iron.. I’ve been supplementing off and on for 12 years, but last three months, eating meat daily as well… my hair is down my back suddenly and stays in my head. 🙏🏻
I've tested numerous things. The only things that really worked in my case: A nutritious diet, decent sleeping timings, moving your body atleast for 25 mins, eating right, using good shampoo and oil. I use only liiitlleextra coconinon hydrating shampoo and hair oil for this reason plus it does the work. The hairfall got under control with it.
Nice smell and thick oil from littllllextra cocooniioon. Noticed good results following using the a month. Hairfall has stopped and my hair have become thick.
@nishthaDhavale2527 Why ppl giving so many positive reviews about this brand
My ferritin in was 11 ( three months ago ) I’m unable to take iron tablets so have been awaiting an infusion for three months…. I’m exhausted and have hair loss but my Drs don’t seem to care. I’m in uk. Very informative video, thank you.
Over the last 3 years ive lost what appears to be about 40% of my hair. Ive always been anemic due to heavy periods. Lately my hemoglobin has stabilized but i still have low iron and my most recent ferritin came back at 5!!! After watching this video im so thrilled to have another option. I thought id run out of options. Ive tried all kinds of creams oils and hair loss products - some prescribed by my dermatologist. I'll be trying this for sure and will give an update in 6 months. Thank you for the valuable information and the clear, succinct explanation!

phenomenal. I am blood type O. I realized that years ago my hair loss was affected by doing a vegetarian diet. I knew I shocked my system and then created digestive problems. I then tried eating macrobiotically, thinking this was healthier, yet I lost energy and endurance. The moment I started eating according to my blood type, I felt so much better. but the damage had been done. Your explanation aligns with my experience and my gut feeling. I took your hair quiz, talked to your staff, bought products, and have a phone consultation soon. I already know my afro is coming back strong Doc. lol Thank You. I am definitely an androgenic alopecia candidate.

1. Serum iron blood test
2. Ferritin blood test
3. Vitamin D3
OMG, thank you so much for this lecture. It’s answered so many questions I’ve had over the years concerning cyclical hair loss. Luckily, my current doctor is supporting all my blood tests (I live in the UK and the National Health Service is limited in what they can do) so I should hopefully have some answers and get a treatment plan by the end of the week. It’s really comforting to know there may be something to help my hair loss. It’s been so demoralising growing my hair only to have it start falling out in clumps again.

My hair was falling like crazy for yrs. I kept it short. I finally went to a doctor and she discovered my iron was at 4. She got me 2 infusions and my hair has gotten thicker. I can have it long now
Now how much increased?
please give me some hope if you can, my hair used to be so thick and in a matter of months its gotten extremely thin, i barely recognize myself. Im worried my hair will never be like it used to, or at best it will take me multiple years to get back to the thickness/length/health i have been working on for years
@@fairygrl999it's better to check with a doctor
Update: finally got to an appointment and I’ll be getting new blood tests and seeing a dermatologist. My hair has gotten so much worse. The doctor walks in and first thing she says is “well you were anemic but the worst was with ferritin but that’s just iron” it was a direct answer. God really just let everything fall in place. Hopefully they can get something for me but even if it’s not fixable it’s still nice to know.
Thank you for your help, Doctor. You’re the only Doctor so far I’d trust.
That's very kind. Pretty soon we will have microscopes that we can send anywhere in the world so you can send us your scalp photos and we can help remotely.
@@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist thank you for your attention. I’ll definitely contact your office if this keeps going.
EXCELLENT explanation!
Excellent video, thank you! I have been researching this topic on my own for a decade now and this is exactly the same conclusions that I have found as well :)
I was recently diagnosed with chronic anemia based on my ferritin levels, and have had to have iron infusions. Slowly but surely my hair is coming back.
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: That's great news!
What was your level?
Great video
As a doc loved how you delivered the info
I lost 80% of my hair due to iron deficiency. My latest ferritin is at 21, even after taking 112mg of iron for so long. I had an iron infusion (3x), and that made everything worse after. Derm diagnosed me with TE due to the iron infusion. I tracked my hair loss, and after I got the infusion, I went downhill. I never thought I would be going bald because of this. I have done so much to improve, from eating well, supplements, etc. Doctors have been no help. The hematologist told me he would release me since all he could offer was rounds of infusion.
Why didn't the infusion help but made it worse?
@@LT-pp1je I guess my body's reaction,
You sir are a legend. Great video!
Thank you! :)
I am happy to answer any questions here that you have on the video
Sir, if we correct the deficiency, will the hair grow back?
@Hrish Redd could you please tell me which test u did for hair
I think I have this and my mom and grandmom. And now at 38 I am getting hair loss in a very similar pattern. 😞. Could it be hereditary to have low iron?
This is so so so so true. Just today i have got to know that i am iron deficient and now i know what was contributing to my hair loss. I am increasing my iron dose tablet.
Thank you! I've learned so much from your channel.
You are welcome 👍
Great info Will, I'm still in the midst of my 3 month treatment you recommended. Everything is going well and working rather nicely. Before and after pics will come after next month. Love the educational videos. Gary W.
That’s great! I’m glad all of that paid off and things are going well!
So glad I found this video! I am suffering from TE, 4.5 months in 😞 and it took me a couple of months to even figure out it was TE then another couple of months to find out my ferritin is at an 8! I started iron supplements from my doctor 2 weeks ago, hoping I see my shedding completely stop soon. My thick hair is now so thin, not bald but thin enough my scalp can me seen lightly when I wear my hair up (my temples got hit hard). My density is just awful and I have oily hair because of this. I subscribed! Thank you for this video!
Update: 8/5/23 - Unfortunately my hair is still shedding like wildfire 😔 I do now believe and at this point honestly, I *know* the Pfizer vaccine caused my TE. It started in June 2021, quite literally right after my first shot. Not even 2 weeks after because when I got my second dose my hair began to fall out *more* 😒.

Love love love this video. It was very informative and educational.I am blood type O, I take pantaprazole and acid reflux meds,. I suffer with anxiety and chronic fatigue. Blood test show that I have low vitamin D levels and I found out yesterday from my dermatologist that my ferritin was a 4.....so my doc referred me to a hematologist. After watching this video, I learned that taking the acid reflux meds 💊 could be worsening my iron deficiency issue...I plan to stop taking them.
omg.. thank you for the video. my hair has been shedding since late april and it REALLY came out during august september and this month. the doctor said my ferritin is 10 and iron saturation 9. the doctor said that my low ferritin was causing my hair loss so i decided to eat red meat/meat 2 weeks ago and i am taking an iron supplement twice a day. i dont get as many headaches and my fatigue has much improved. i am even seeing some hair growth but the shedding is still excessive and i think it is because my ferritin is so low. thank you for the video and i will cut out coffee ... i was vegetarian 5 years and started veganism this year.. i also drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day and was doing cardio like 3-5 miles a few times a week back in may/june/july/august.. i think all of this caused my iron to deplete and my ferritin went down to 10. i am 26 and it has been devastating seeing my hair thin and come out.. its still shedding but i am going to cut it off and start over and treat my body right. i had no idea what ferritin was until a few weeks ago
Same here sis, my ferritin is 3.7 but my doctor is not concerned about low ferritin level rather she is only prescribing vitamins which is not helping me.
May i know which iron supplements you are taking and if it helping or not?
@@Anjali_samjhgayi hey, my ferritin jumped to a 72 last blood test. Go buy floradix right now ! It really helps ! It’s a liquid iron . Take twice a day . My fatigue has recovered and now my hair is shedding is a lot less . Will still take time but the floradix helped raise my iron quickly
@@ashleymariesg thank you so much for replying, will definitely try this.
How’s your hair?
@@prometheus6853 hey, shedding has reduced dramatically. But unfortunately in January I got COVID and I was VERY sick with a high fever. In feb / march my hair starting shedding a lot again. However after some months it is reduced again. I just went to a dermatologist this week and she said I was experiencing TE , and it will just take time. My blood work is good and I get baby hairs all over , but she said it will take about 1-2 years for my hair to fully recover. Don’t lose hope, just wait it out.
I found out by accident I am anemic and did not believe until I went on you tube so helpful
the video is . I am vegan high cardio weights hair loss and mouth sores ulcers hair loss
all over I blamed it on stress as I went threw many things . At 63 I had my first lot of
fractures ribs hip wrist that is how I found out. Never tired or grumpy but bruise easy on
hands as I do physical work for a woman. Thank you so much for explaining things.
Dang…well done on this! Best info yet on hair loss/regrowth out there when it comes to ferritin!
It’s kind of demoralising how I, as a 16 year old male, consulted a dermatologists who intuitively just diagnosed androgenetic alopecia, and prescribed minoxidil. After conducting a blood test I realised my ferritin was at 20…
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: Hi Philipp! If you have family history of hair loss, nutritional deficiencies can quickly expedite the miniaturization process. It's very possible to have both nutritional and hormonal hair loss at the same time but minoxidil isn't the right product for either type of hair loss unfortunately. You definitely need to work on increasing your ferritin level as the number 1 goal.
@@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist What would you recommend? My temples are becoming increasingly visible, but it seems to be some sort of diffuse hair loss, as Im losing hair primarily on the sides of my head, not the crown or much of the temples. Im afraid to consume finasteride due to potential impotence and sexual effects (as 16-year old I still want to have children). The only things Im doing right now is topical minoxidil 5 percent, taking supplements with biotin, B12, zinc, horsetail extract etc (viviscal and neofollics), microneedling at the temples and massages. I received an iron infusion of 200 mg 1 week ago and am taking iron supplement (29 mg) with vitamin C (Blood builder).
Do you think these therapies are promising or would you recommend something more?
@philippammer5671dude are you there facing same problem here
@philippammer5671hey man how’d it go?
@@SirCruxful hey man my hair loss completely stopped after starting a program called stop and regrow from a company i lost angeles. They do somewhat an organic form of dutasteride, no side effects and my hair is thicker than ever ;)
Perfect information. Very useful.
👏👏👏😭This is incredible information (tears) THANK YOU SO MUCH DOCTOR !!! I am 41 female with hairloss & lives in the UK 🇬🇧 and my GP (ignored my low levels) has never looked into low Ferritin or low Vitamin D of which I am Chronically low in both (I have watched your video on low Vitamin D as well ). He did the other routine blood tests for hair loss which didn’t show anything. I am now on 210mg Ferrous Femurate & 4000IU Vitamin D, self prescribed over the counter meds. I have only started. It looks like I will have to change from ferrous femurate to the ones you recommend in video....THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING ME HOPE ❤️ PS: I have assessed & excluded all other types of hairloss
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're glad you find this video very helpful and please don't hesitate to let us know if we can help in any way! :)
Hi im in a similar situation with hair loss was wondering what your ferratin levels were if you dont mind me asking? My vit d is at 66nmol/l and my dr is saying this is fine!
@@chan-hy1wvwhy would she mind u asking???????
I love this Doctor!!!! Omg, thee BEST information!!!❤ Thank you so much sir!
Thank you so much for your video. My son started losing his hair at 14. Doctors told me that he was just going bald because of genetics. It took me demanding there was something else going on. Found out when he turned 17 that his ferritin was an 11. He's recently been able to get his ferritin to 55 over the last 8 months. I have doctors telling me he also has androgenic alopecia. He's a diffused thinner on the top of his head. Hoping it will get better soon. He's on an iron supplement, recently started finasteride and oral minoxidil. It's been so frustrating and heartbreaking for him
In addition plz see vitamin D levels also. Vitamin D is also essential for hair growth...
May your sons hair be restored in Jesus name 🙏
@@VOTS.714 thank you! He is starting to see improvements. Blessed in so many ways.
@@dhar610 thank you. Will do!
I'm addition to iron, vitamin d,
Try
Zinc(+copper to balance)
Biotin (+vit b5 if acne issues occur)
Hair thinning begins to be rectified around 1-2 months if caused by biotin deficiency, so try 3 months
Note that biotin can skew test readings for thyroid and testerone, so tell the doctor whether you need to do tests so they can adjust.
Really good explaination great Video Collage.

Hi Doctor! I appreciate all your hard work. And the information you bring us. I had a total hysterectomy years ago. And now my hair is dry and brittle. Any help will be appreciated.
Finally got my answer this week. Labs showed severe low iron. Transferrin sat low, iron very low, vit D very low. Shedding hair like crazy.
How many hairs are you shedding every day
"Doctors" I went who studied in europe, north america, south america, you name it all told me my body was attacking itself which I always found as a really stupid explanation and hard to believe. So my body now thinks my hair is a foreign agent and its attacking itself? Yea right. I was sold every expensive treatment in the book. Nothing worked. Obviously because cause was never identified and eliminated. Thank God for TH-cam and for showing me Dr. William. Turns out I was anemic this whole time (4 years!). Smh. Been on D3 and ferronil for 3 days and already noticing huge improvement. Unbelievable. I am low key glad but also super annoyed and lost so much faith on "Doctors". Thank you sir.
I had low ferritin and was a hair loss patient with one of the leading physicians in research - well in advance of a plant based diet. Gut health can play a role not just low iron/ferritin as can having GI bleeding, etc. It is not ideal to just take a supplement without knowing the cause. Fortunately I have good doctors and they confirmed not eating meat had nothing to do with it and advised further workups, while commending me for a healthy plant based diet which reduces other health issues. I am regrowing hair now and I will never change my diet or take supplements unnecessarily as they often have fillers that can compromise the gut.
calm down. he addresses all factors. what's your blood type? he recommends getting blood work. angry vegans are the worst.
@@brothercinnamon2479they weren’t angry. You’re projecting.
@MCAVideos6886 that's what your doing. pot meet kettle
My goodness! I had my blood lipid panel sent and I am very low in ferritin. No wonder my hair was falling out last year! I thought it was just the stress!
Thank you. I learned so much.🙏
Glad it was helpful! :)
I started getting really bad hair loss starting a couple of months ago but had no idea what was causing it. Hb count is low, ferretin is low, iron is low. everything is in the red. A couple of innocuous things that i identified that could be the main culprits from this video (not a doctor, but in case this helps anyone out there)
1. Matcha. About a year ago, I joined the matcha craze. it'll be the first thing i drink when i wake up and its insane how fast i go through the packets. If the caffeine has been inhibiting iron absorption... i think i found one of the main culprits.
2. F45. I dont exercise. havent been exercising for years but suddenly started and now i see it could have driven my system a lil crazy.
these were 2 things the doctors dismissed when i mentioned; they pointed towards low-iron diet as the likely cause but my diet has been the same for years! finally feel heard/seen because if these really are the causes i finally (maybe) triggered the super bad hair fall to suddenly begin. I'm eating the iron tablets as prescribed now, but finally seeing the potential trigger(s) is making me feel so relieved. thank you for this video!
Thank you that was very, very helpful now I have a better understanding.
Great video.
Good morning, I've just found your video and it has answered so many of my questions. I have a 17 year old daughter that has been suffering with shedding for 2 ½ years. We have tried so many different treatments including Minoxidle but nothing is really helping. Her mental health is really suffering as a result. Allot of what you discussed rings true for her. I want to know if I can buy your products in the UK or if there is an alternatives that I could buy.
Great info. Thank you very much. In some sever cases I do Iron injection and follow up with patients.
Looking forward for your next video :)

😂😂😂 I thought this was him at first!
Just a friendly suggestion, Get the bloodwork first. I decided to buy the dht block supplement and saw no changes. I recently got bloodwork done and my iron and ferritin levels are super low. I could have saved a lot of time money and stress to my body, by getting this done first. But I'm glad I can start working towards bettering my health and hopefully my hair 😅
Thanks for this video ! my ferritin was 15ng/l few years ago and now it's 39ng/l, I still have a long way to go.
Do you see hair growth now?
My gosh, what great info! My ferritin has been low for over 2 years now, at times too low to measure. Sometimes my hgb dips low as well. My hair is awful, and has been made worse by sepsis from a kidney infection almost 4 months ago. Thanks for addressing this.

Can you tell me which blood test to go for?
Excellent lecture. How do you get the Derma Ian
I have hair lossow rbc low feeritin my body dont absorb iron Short of a
Air.. pain in bones joints . Knees
Iron tab makes me constipated
I had problems for years feeling exhausted and having episodes of feeling dizzy and winded. I was always put on antidepressants and given anxiety medication and told there was nothing wrong with me. I noticed that I was having trouble completing my normal run during my period. I had thought maybe it was an iron issue because of that, but my doctor always said my blood work was fine.
Then I started having horrible heart palpitations, that would last for days or even a week at a time. At the time I was also eating ice non stop. I would go to the gas station near my house and get a large cup of ice two to three times a day. I went to the ER with the heart palpitations and was sent to a cardiologist. I was told it was just pvc’s and totally normal and again, there is nothing wrong with me.
Then I started waking up at night with restless leg and feeling winded. I was sent to have a sleep study done and again told there was nothing wrong with me. Basically, was told I’m crazy.
It wasn’t until I went to an urgent care office asking for anxiety medication that I found a doctor that actually tested my iron levels. My ferritin was at 5 and iron binding was at 500 and something. I’m forever grateful for that doctor. I had suffered for probably close to ten years with these symptoms that would come and go.
Recently, I also was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis after I had an MRI done for back pain and a grapefruit sized mass was found on my left ovary. That was another years long battle with numerous doctors. If there had been a doctor that listened to me I may have gotten the help I needed and not suffered for so long with all the symptoms. I was told my heavy painful periods were normal by every doctor.
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: I'm sorry that happened to you! Unfortunately, that is very true. Most doctors would tell you not to worry about it if it's within normal range even if it's the low end of normal. Your ferritin at 5 was critically low. I hope that has been addressed.
I had a very similar story! Multiple ER visits where I was sent home with atarax (antihistamine) and wasn’t taken seriously. Come to find out I had. Softball sized fibroid, 3 other large fibroids and suspected endo. I had fibroid removal/endo surgery which helped. Also recently found out I’m anemic with low ferritin and have recently started having hair loss. I hope by fixing my iron/anemia will help
Thank you for this video! Is it safe for me to take ferritin and iron supplements at the same time?
I've bought the dht blocking supplement and one month in I've noticed less hair fall for sure. I'm looking to by the serum topical solution too. I once briefly used an acid reflux medication and a big chuck of my hair on my front left side literally wiped away one morning and has stayed thin ever since. I stopped straight after. I also weight train pretty hard 2-3 times a week. My job involves about 7-1/2hrs of lifting moderate to heavy objects. I've instinctively though iron keels might be the reason I've thinned over the years, that and DHT. I feel there is hope now, I'm a very healthy person overall. I meditate, relax, breathe and pray. I throw in some affirmations for good measure too.
Wich dht blocker is that?
Hi Doctor
Thank you so much ! Great video.!!! Do parasites lower your ferritin levels. If so protocols to eliminate them .TIA
My ferritin is 44 , Been to tons of dermatologists they say it’s okay, in range and maybe the iron may work but it could be hereditary. I will start taking the Iron. The last dermatologist discouraged me saying maybe it won’t even work so I never kept up taking it. Now I will try to get the number up to 70.
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: If it's 44ng/ml, that is below optimal. You definitely need to take iron, we recommend derma iron for 3 mos, if non menstruating you can take 1 a day but for menstruating women, you probably need more than that. www.advancedtrichology.com/collections/nutritional-hair-loss-products/products/derma-iron
Hi! Thank you for this information! I am experiencing pretty extreme hair loss, (not for the first time) but I have gotten my ferritin up to 116.0ng/mL and my Iron is 92 but I think my hair loss has Increased. I am on a proton pump inhibiteter for stomach issues, and I do drink coffee a lot.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you i will be taking a blood test
This was awesome thank you. I just ordered your Ferritin. During the summer my ferritin was at 41. Months later it was 78. The range according to the lab goes from 30-400ng
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: That is great news! If you're a blood type A, you may go off ferritin but if you're a blood type O or B you may need to continue using ferritin and derma iron to reach 100 ng/ml which is optimal for those blood types.

I am a vegan who also has two very large fibroids that cause terribly heavy menstrual cycles which caused my iron and hemoglobin levels to drop which caused me to develop a weird pica where I ate chalk which caused me to overeat chalk which caused me to damage my esophagus and developed a gastric ulcer which caused me to get on Omeprazole and I’m not taking iron supplements for someone who is already chronically constipated…oh and my hair is thinning and is presenting as receding hairline or female pattern hair loss. Just a mess lol.
Well explained thank u
Hi - Can you discuss if high levels of ferretin can cause hair loss?
My hairline started thinning significantly and the top of my crown had some diffused thinning and one spot with less hair. I have THICK hair so the thinning was quite obvious to me but easy to camouflage. I found out my iron was at 10! My hemoglobin was so low. I’ve been on supplements for a year and it’s finally at 40 but my spot on the top of my head isn’t growing in. The temples seem to be slowly growing in but not like they used to. No one in my family is bald, not even the men. I hope my hair will keep growing in but the top thinning makes me so self conscious. It’s still not a widened part or anything. The dermatologist said it could take over two years to turn the hair around. This video made me think perhaps I have to wait longer. It’s just so scary
Super interesting and exactly what I was looking for. After 20 years of searching for hair loss cause!!! I looked at the website and they offer a blood test analysis which I would love to do. Any chance we can do this at home or abroad (in Europe?) I am afraid I will not have a chance to do this in the US.
Hey! So glad the video hit the mark for you! 🤗 It’s amazing how nutrient deficiencies like iron can play such a big role in hair loss, right? 🌱

Hi Dr. G! Great Video and well explained. My ferritin level is low and been noticing more and more hairloss. My hemoglobin is wnl. I still believe I should bring up my level to 70+.
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: Hi Shawn! You definitely need to work on increasing that if it's low. Take the derma iron supplement here: www.advancedtrichology.com/collections/nutritional-hair-loss-products/products/derma-iron. Make sure to take the hair loss quiz on the website to find out if there's anything else you need to stop your hair loss: www.advancedtrichology.com/pages/quiz

Can i ask a question ❓
Could i take 24mg iron supplement for rest of my life as maintenance dose as i have low appetite
Thanks for reaching out with your question! Taking an iron supplement like the 24 mg dose you mentioned can be helpful, especially if you struggle with maintaining iron levels due to a low appetite. However, it's essential to regularly consult with a healthcare provider to monitor your iron levels and overall health to ensure that this maintenance dose remains appropriate for your needs over time. Always keep an eye on how your body is responding and adjust under medical guidance.

Hello. New subscriber. I cannot find the ferritin supplements from this video. Do you no longer sale this product?
Hey William thanks for great info. Where do I get the "Detox Tea" for liver and kidneys? Also the anti-fungal shampoo and conditioner you mentioned in your videos?
Hi! you may get it at www.advancedtrichology.com/collections/all
This video has been informative.
My hair has been thinning for many years since my early twenties and I just dont know why. I don't have polycystic ovary syndrome because I have regular cycles. But my sister does have pcos and she's completely bald so I wondered if it was pcos
I have excessive bleeding my whole adult life during cycles and do suffer symptoms of anaemia each time so cold, struggling to breathe, paleness, clammy, and absolutely exhausted and floored where I can't do much. After about 5 days I bounce back. But my hair really sheds where I'm embarrassed by it, people look at my scalp & keep on staring I'm using treatments to make it look thicker but the problems getting worse. It really does cause me annoyance because I use regain, b12 and folate and many other vitamins and hair products over the years.
I did a private blood test and it showed a ferretin level of 9. Does this mean low iron, could this be causing my hair loss? Low ferritin
I'm AB + and brought up not eating red meat.
I also have a condition called erythromelalgia for 17 years and apparently low iron can trigger it, so I am wondering now if its possible I have low iron that's causing it.
It's upsetting when your hair falls out and looks worse a
nd worse as time goes on 😫
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: When a female starts losing hair since their teens or before the age of 35, there's usually nuritritional deficiency or sensitivity that is diriving the early onset of the hair loss. Your ferritin is critically low which needs to be addressed with correct iron supplementation asap. PCOS is also a possible factor since you're experiencing excessive bleeding which is not normal.

I love u advanced trichology I am Prabhu Devan
Great information!! Thank you so much doctor!
After rising my ferrite level to 70, shall I notice the results immediately or it needs some more months to be noticeable?
النتيجة تظهر بعد عام ومن الاحسن تلحقي الحديد ل 90 وتواصلي المكملات لكن تقللي الجرعة مع اضافة فيتامينات نثل البيوتين و ب12 و ب6 و زيت اكليل الجبل مرتين في الاسبوع
والزنك والنحاس كمان كلش مهمين وكذلك فيتامين د اذا لقيتيه ناقص اخذي مكملات فيتامين د +ك2
@@aichach3311 حبيبتي الله يسعدك، انا لاحظت شعري مرة تغير قل وخف وسويت تحليل فايتمين دال كان ١٠ ومخزون الحديد ٤٠ استمريت على الكورس ٣ شهور وصل المخزون الى ٦٠ ولاحظت تحسن بسيط لكن الى الآن في تساقط، راح استمر وان شاء الله خير. شكرًا حبيبتي
How’s your hair?
Hi you made my day I’m low on iron and ferritin may I start off with the iron first?
What dose of ferritin do you recommend daily?
They should make shampoo's with all the stuff in it to help stop hair loss
What is a good optimal range of ferritin for most men? Maybe 100?
