Iron Supplementation May Improve Satisfaction in Non-Low-Ferritin Telogen Effluvium: A Real-Life Study

research Iron Supplementation May Improve the Patient’s Level of Satisfaction in Not-Low-Ferritin Telogen Effluvium: A Real-Life Observational Study

March 2024 in “Indian Journal of Dermatology”

In this observational study, researchers found that women with telogen effluvium who had higher baseline ferritin levels or received higher doses and longer durations of iron supplementation reported greater satisfaction, suggesting that iron supplementation can improve patient satisfaction regardless of initial ferritin levels.

in Is this regrowth? 1 year ago

The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on iron supplements for low ferritin levels and considering finasteride and minoxidil if thinning persists. There is debate over starting with finasteride versus dutasteride, with some users advocating for dutasteride due to its potency, while others caution about potential side effects.

community Anyone here have experience with ferritin level and hair?

in Treatment 4 upvotes 6 months ago

Low ferritin levels can affect hair density, and increasing ferritin through iron supplements may help with regrowth. It's suggested to maintain ferritin levels between 70-100 ng/mL and check other micronutrients for optimal hair health.

community Low ferritin / normal iron contributing to hair loss?

4 upvotes 2 months ago

Low ferritin can contribute to hair loss despite normal iron levels, and supplementing iron may help improve hair regrowth when using finasteride. Minoxidil might also aid in recovery, and optimal ferritin levels for hair growth are suggested to be 100+ ng/ml.
