hair loss... ferritin level

[ikke1978]

Hi everyone,
I am trying to get me ferritin level up to 70 or 80 for hair growth. My level is 10 now and i am shedding like crazy. My doctor is saying that i can stop taking the iron-pills when i am at 30 or 40, but i read about ferritin levels should be at least 70 for a while to allow hair to grow . I need some proven articles or written researches about this, so i can show it to my doctor. Does anyone know about something like this?
or know where i can find some information about ferritin levels (all i have found so far are expexriences on forums, but need some proof)

I haven't a clue. However, having had very serious, life threatening anemia, let me say, find another doctor who will do a thorough blood panel..and give you guidelines (i.e. write a prescription) about what you need to take to combat your problem.

I had to take a high dosage of Iron tablets. plus Vitamin D for many months before my blood was back to normal.
