At Hallmark formulation, we understand how to bring out wellness methods that address both root causes and visible symptoms. One main core connection we understand is between iron, the storage of protein levels and hair well-being. If you're observing unexplained hair thinning or excessive shedding, having the knowledge of the role of ferritin and iron may be a game-changer.
Understanding the reason Why Low Iron Status Can Trigger Hair Loss
Hair loss has a lot of triggers, but one general yet mostly overlooked element is iron deficiency. Without enough iron, your body struggles to process haemoglobin, the molecule responsible for ferrying oxygen to the cell that includes the cell that assists your hair follicle. The hair follicles don't get enough oxygen and nutrients, which may transit into a dormant chapter, leading to increased shielding.
Understanding ferritin and how it affects hair growth
Ferritin is a protein that is stored in the body's iron. When the ferritin levels fall, this is a sign that iron stores are bankrupt. Interestingly, your body chooses general organs over hair follicles when iron is scarce. This means that hair follicles lose access to ferritin reserves, which can cause hair growth problems even before other symptoms appear. Signs of
Having low ferritin is simple to miss. The hair may be gone with fatigue, brittle nails, dizziness, and some kind of restless leg syndrome.
How Ferritin, Thyroid & Hair Health are linked up
The presence of low ferritin mostly coincides with thyroid imbalance
The thyroid gland requires adequate iron to manufacture hormones that regulate metabolism, including hair growth. When iron (and thus ferritin) is low, thyroid hormone production may suffer, leading to hair loss.
Treating Hair Loss by Managing Ferritin Deficiency
The following is the way one can take proactive tips.
-
Integrate iron-rich foods such as red meat ( that is non-vegetarian) with legumes, whole grains, and some nuts with some rich vitamin C food to optimise iron absorption.
-
If diet alone is not enough (especially for vegetarians/vegans or those with heavy menstrual loss), consider iron supplementation only under medical supervision. Excessive iron can be harmful.
-
Observe ferritin levels: most well-being care professionals consider ferritin levels below ~20 ng/mL for women (and lower thresholds may apply for men) as low, though people's targets vary.
-
Be patient: hair regrowth after correcting iron/ferritin may take several months. Avoid jumping into aggressive hair-loss treatments before addressing the underlying iron status.
