FINALLY My 8 Month Geritol Hair Update! Does It Really Cure Thin Brittle Hair & Low Iron? Lets Talk

[@angelazayas2753]

Just a FYI. Be cautious of foods that deplete or inhibit absorption of iron. Turmeric depletes your iron absorption and coffee inhibits it. Eat a orange wedge or a glass of oj after your iron intake for absorption. Enjoyed your video

[@ulovemegz]

Thanks for the info and thank you so much for watching!!

[@SDC1949]

Thanks. I consume my fair share of both Coffee and turmeric. I believe I may be iron deficient .

[@glw5166]

60 year old woman here and I can tell you that Geritol brings energy and hair growth at any age. I always viewed it as a geriatric vitamin when I was younger but, now that I am close to geriatric, I can attest that it works very well - and quickly.

[@Queena1283]

Thank you 🙏🏽 I trust it a little more now

[@smith6777]

Paster raised eggs, grass fed beef or lamb, baby spinach, seeded oranges

[@rosbel4119]

No. Don’t eat eggs. Eggs contain a compound called phosvitin that can inhibit iron absorption.

[@rosbel4119]

And don’t eat beef or lamb or spinach (in large amounts) either. Oranges are fine though.

[@meshameemee]

😮 WTH?! I was just looking in the mirror at my thinning edges and thought about my low iron, low vitamin D and made a mental note to educate myself on this. I was searching for weight loss on the treadmill, found your short on the topic and the next video was this! See how good God is???

Please continue to talk about annual physicals. More younger people need to take advantage of this no cost or low cost preventative care. It's so you can know how your current self care impacts your health, catch issues before they need full scale medical support.

I’ve been taking Geritol for 7 months pretty consistently and I can honestly say that my hair has finally started to turn the corner. My roots are thicker and I lose less hair. It took me years to lose all of my hair density so I know it’s going to take years to get it back so I’m trusting the process

How are things 4 months later?

[@blaqkatt23]

I was also iron deficient, mine was due to multiple fibroids. I survived three surgeries to correct my biggest fibroid, which was causing the most bleeding that caused me to be anemic. At some point, (somewhere around my surgeries, before or after) I tried Geritol, but my body didn't take well to it, so I stopped taking it. Looking at this, I now think it was due to an empty stomach. I'm no longer anemic, though. Thanks for this information!

[@globalcitizen1138]

Good luck to you!!

[@blaqkatt23]

@globalcitizen1138 thank you!

[@ThePrimaryMaven]

[@bharris4517]

Updates?

[@norastocks5510]

Didn't know Geritol was still around. I used it as a child, and it was great. There was no liquid, so only a big bulky pill. Glad to see the liquid. Happy for success with your health.

[@LizLyfestyle]

I’m anemic as well, my hemoglobin dropped to a 7 and I ended up in the hospital. I tried liver, beets, Floradix but they didn’t help. The only thing that helped me was eating spinach. I add 1 cup of spinach to my smoothie and I feel soo much better 😊

[@SeanaSparkleTV]

I have also suffered from Iron deficiency a few years ago and a little bit more recently. I've been taking the pill version of Geritol and then started taking the liquid version. The shedding has slowed down and now I'm waiting on the thickness to come back.

[@ulovemegz]

Awww yay! So happy to hear things are starting to kick in!!!

[@LanaBana2931]

You look so good! I’m happy you’re feeling better. ☺️

[@ulovemegz]

Thank you!! 😊

[@missb2182]

If you cannot find Geritol, SSS Tonic is pretty much the same thing which my grandma used for decades..

[@IamParalegal]

That’s the key, check with your doctors before taking supplements. Sometimes anemia and shedding is not a lack of iron in your diet. Sometimes it’s Cancer or Chronic Kidney Disease. Plus, if you take supplements that you don’t need, it can store up in your body, and cause other issues.

[@LivingInTheShade]

I can definitely see the difference in your hair. I was dangerously low on iron and I had the horrible ice cravings. I hate taking iron I can't stomach the liquid, I take it in tablet form a few times a week to avoid constipation. Iron deficiency is definitely no joke.

[@ulovemegz]

Thank you so much for sharing!!! I totally feel you and how horrible the symptoms are! YES I want to eventually limit my use to three times a week once things start to level all the way off. You're right about it stopping you UPPPP

Good 2 c u Megz! 🥰 I had blood work in February and found out i was iron n vitamin c deficient. I actually thought about u on your Geritol journey after receiving my blood results, i thought, "it happened 2 me 2." I was advised to eat things with iron n vitamin c. Hopefully things will b better next time i get blood work bc ive been very mindful of eating with my blood results in mind.

[@ulovemegz]

Aw thank you so much for stopping by!!!! Yesss that bloodwork will tell you everything and things start to make sense. I had to increase my diet with iron and vitamin c also and so far I'm feeling good.

[@Queena1283]

I grew up with you it’s amazing to see you in my older years😊

[@ulovemegz]

Aw thank you so much!!

[@ObedienceOrSacrifice]

I'm so happy that you are doing better. FYI one way to natural combat the constipation is to drink warmed prune juice. Geritol is considered a one a day multi vitamin that I'd recently said I would start taking once I took up all the individual vitamins I already have, BUT I will NOT be taking the liquid version this comes in pill form with that gel coating that I think will help with any stomach issues as that allows it to release more slowly. TFS!

[@ulovemegz]

Thank you so muchhhh! SEE you just put me on because I've never tried prune juice warmed!!! That sound like that will work really well. You're right iron supplements can be so harsh on the stomach

[@ladysunshine9029]

[@samlevy8880]

Relaxers, after using them over a long period of time, would be the benefactor to thinning and weak hair. Love your vlogs❤

[@ulovemegz]

Thank you! Although that may be true for some with incorrect practices/over processing. Deficiencies will also cause thinning that aren't related to chemical processing for some.

I'm so glad to hear that it's working for you. I had the same issue but I took Feosol High Potency Iron and it helped tremendously. Also, the Feosol will not cause constipation as I was very concerned and when I look for an iron supplement that was no constipating, Feosol was at the top and it's on point with that. I now take the Feosol for 3 months and stop for 3 months although I eat iron rich foods, I want to ensure that I don't go through what I did in the past.

Floradix and Gaia Plant Force Liquid Iron are better alternatives to Geritol and tastes better. I haven't had any constipation issues either. My iron and Vitamin D are low and it has wrecked havoc on my hair. I was exhausted and had shortness of breath. It is growing back and thickening up. I also asked my doctor to give me a megadose of D for 12 weeks, and I take it with K2 from the healthfood store. There is a correlation between C-19 and hair loss for some people.
