Doctor this is wonderful information. My ferritin came back at 11 after supplementing for a couple of months. But my iron showed high. I assume this is normal when you supplement. If anyone reading could tell me if this is addressed on another video it would be great. I’ve been a vegetarian since 1999 so I think maybe this is what caused my iron issue.

[@ritastevenson5639]

Yes, that could definitely be the cause. Perhaps add some high quality red meat to your diet. Calf liver would be great too. I think you will feel amazing!

[@Danuwalker]

My ferritin is at 6 ng according to a recent blood test. Likely due to being a long term vegetarian, and very heavy menstrual bleeding my whole adult life. I have crippling insomnia. Do you think this could be contributing? Do you recommend the supplement floradix? Thank you.

[@Amy-tc4jc]

You need to see a doctor, floradix does not contain enough iron I think. I was prescribed 250mg of ferrous sulphate (UK based) to take twice a day. I’m also vegetarian and have heavy periods like yourself. Hope things get better for you.

[@MsPeabody1231]

I have heavy periods it took nearly 3 decades for me to be diagnosed with adenomyosis. As a result I have had anaemia lots of times. I am UK based and until I was diagnosed used to have to fight to get iron tests. In the end I have ended up getting private ones. In regards to iron over the counter supplements don't have enough iron in them. They only have around 14mg. So you need to be prescribed it. However I found the pharmacists will give them to you off prescription as it's cheaper for both parties however they don't bigger this unless you come with a prescription. Doctors never retest you unless you collapse. They just say take them for 3 months. The supplements they prescribe tend to cause stomach upsets. Oh and iron deficiency can cause insomnia.

My ferritin is 11 ng/mL how long should I take supplements

[@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist]

With a ferritin level of 11 ng/mL, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the right amount and type of iron supplementation for your specific needs. Typically, increasing ferritin levels might involve taking iron supplements under medical guidance and periodically retesting your levels to monitor progress. The goal is to reach a healthy level while ensuring you do not exceed what is safe, as excess iron can be harmful. Melissa Fox (Customer Service) ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/

Make sure you are taking B vitamins. B vitamins are water soluble so unless you have issues with your kidneys you should excrete the excess. B vitamins like folate help with the formation of blood cells. (You need all of them.) Like with iron you can have enough of all measurable B vitamins but it may not be optimal.

My ferritin level is 220 but my haemoglobin is 8…how is that possible?

[@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist]

That’s an interesting situation! Ferritin and hemoglobin are both connected to iron in the body, but they represent different things, and it's possible for them to be imbalanced. Here's a breakdown of how this can happen: 🔬 **Ferritin**: Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in your body, so a ferritin level of 220 suggests that you have plenty of iron stored. 🩸 **Hemoglobin**: Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body. A low hemoglobin level (like your level of 8, which is quite low) indicates **anemia**, which means your red blood cells aren't functioning properly, or your body isn't producing enough of them. Here are some reasons why this imbalance can occur: 1. **Chronic Inflammation or Infection**: Conditions like chronic inflammation (e.g., autoimmune disorders or infections) can cause **high ferritin** because your body stores extra iron, but your body may not be using that iron effectively to make hemoglobin. This is known as **anemia of chronic disease**. 2. **Iron Utilization Problem**: Even though you have iron stored (high ferritin), your body might not be able to properly utilize it to produce hemoglobin. This could be due to certain conditions that affect iron metabolism or absorption. 3. **Other Types of Anemia**: You could be dealing with another form of anemia not directly related to iron, such as **vitamin B12** or **folate deficiency**, which can impair the production of healthy red blood cells. This could lead to low hemoglobin levels despite adequate iron stores. 4. **Liver or Kidney Issues**: High ferritin can sometimes be related to liver conditions, and if there's an issue with your kidneys, it can affect erythropoietin production, which is essential for red blood cell production, leading to low hemoglobin. 💡 **What to do**: This imbalance should definitely be evaluated by a doctor. They may run additional tests to check for underlying inflammation, vitamin deficiencies, or other conditions that could be affecting your red blood cell production. ➡️ Reach out to your healthcare provider for further testing and guidance, and don't hesitate to consult with us at www.advancedtrichology.com/ for any hair-related concerns connected to your iron levels!

[@charlottebuck6907]

Or you could eat red meat?

[@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist]

Absolutely! 🍖 Red meat is a fantastic source of iron, especially the heme iron type, which is more easily absorbed by our bodies than plant-based iron. Increasing red meat intake (if it aligns with your dietary preferences and health needs) can help boost ferritin levels, which is essential for hair health and reducing shedding. Just keep in mind: 1️⃣ **Moderation is Key**: Aim for a balanced intake of red meat along with other iron-rich foods (like leafy greens, beans, and fortified grains) to avoid overdoing it. 2️⃣ **Pair with Vitamin C**: To enhance iron absorption, pair iron-rich foods with vitamin C sources (like citrus fruits or bell peppers). If low ferritin is contributing to hair loss, consistently supporting it through diet can make a big difference over time. 😊 ➡️ Reach out to us at [www.advancedtrichology.com/](www.advancedtrichology.com/) if you need more tailored advice.
