Iron deficiency

I’m 24, from Germany. The doctors here never tested my ferritin. I knew something was off. I did a bit of research and read about ferritin (stored Iron).

I then paid a test to check it by myself. Turned out it’s at 17. But for hair growth you need 70….

Since I’m a teenager (guess it’s because of my period) I had hair loss. Now I just found out I lived in fight or flight mode my whole life.

My body pushed my hair away, I had massive hair lost. The doctor could not tell the problem at all and did exactly nothing.

Now I’m trying to fix it myself. So this is a reminder please check your ferritin. It has a lot of symptoms.

No hair growth product helped.

Do you have tips to improve Iron? Which supplements?

The doctor will not help as they think 15 is normal here.
