Can Iron Help with Hair Loss?

I was intrigued while reading this article on iron helping with hair loss so I am passing the information on to you as several of my clients ask me about this.

There are many reasons that one might start losing hair. Here is a list of some of them. 

– Genetics

– Hormone Changes

– Stress and Trauma

– Autoimmune Diseases

– Medications and Treatments

– Scalp Conditions and Infections

– Environmental and Lifestyle Factors

– Genetic Predisposition to Scalp Sensitivity

– Nutritional Deficiencies such as Iron, Vitamin D, B Vitamins, Zinc and Protein

So how does iron help in hair growth and health?

– It boosts blood flow to the scalp

– Provides energy for hair growth

– Supports the hair growth cycle

– Strengthens the immune system

– Aids in collagen production

One thing is very important. If you are taking an iron supplement, get your levels checked since too much iron is not a good thing at all.
