I posted before about my mom... she has had a lot of bleeding problems, fibriods etc and ended up with low hemoglobin and super low ferritin levels. Her numbers are "up" to the teens after a few months of iron supplements and a hysterectomy. For hair growth you need a ferritin level of 40 and for hair re-growth you need a level of 70. (BTW, the pathology report showed she had adenomyosis so she's glad she went with the hysterectomy).
Can you get ferritin levels up with the same methods you'd use for raising hemoglobin levels?
She does cook with cast iron part of the time. She's taking prescription levels of iron sulfate.
I was going to suggest to her to eat more red meat and take Floradix but I wanted to be sure that would help her raise her ferritin levels.
What else can she do, or what should she do instead? She wants to get those levels up so she can not only keep what little hair she has left but grow some more hair.
Thanks for any info you can share!
