HAIR LOSS:
I am a woman in my thirties and I am losing my hair. I already take a multivitamin with iron. Why is my hair still falling out?
For a significant proportion of women the amount of iron found in a multivitamin alone is insufficient to reach the required ferritin (this is your stored iron) level for optimum hair growth. The unique formulations of some new nutritional products are optimised, to maximise the uptake of iron and other essential nutrients that are required for hair growth. In addition the key amino acid L-lycine has specific benefits of its own with regard to scalp hair metabolism.
So if you are otherwise healthy, and not had a baby recently or a recent illness it is worth getting your FERRITIN levels checked if hair loss is a problem for you, if these are low then targeted nutrition may help you.
