Ferritin levels

Question
I have been dealing with hairloss for 20 years. I was on a low estrogen dose bcp and spiro for 5 years. I have noticed a slow, gradual thinning after one ovary was removed 3 years ago. I asked my GYN to put me on a higher estrogen dose bcp and I finally decided to try Rogaine 3 months ago. I see tons of new growth, but I don't know if there is more that I can do to improve regrowth. My ferritin levels are consistently low - between 4-11. I'm tested every 6 months and I can't seem to improve the number.  One reason is that I can't take iron for longer than a few weeks b/c of the constipation. I see that you recommend spirulina. Can you please tell me more of that, I'm anxious to see if my low ferritin levels are partially responsible for my hair loss.  Thanks so much!  carla


Answer
Hi Carla:

I use spirulina and chlorella as part of my daily diet. They are natural food sources--not synthetic made-made vitamin supplements. They contain high quality protein, most amino acids, iron, zinc, essential fatty acids, probiotics, anti-oxidants and many other nutrients necessary for healthy hair growth and overall health. They do not cause constipation as synthetic iron does. These food supplements may help get your ferritin levels in a better range and will also assure you of getting excellent nutrition.  

My main remedy is essential oil treatment but you cannot use at the same time as using Rogaine. Please let me know if I can help you further.
