Iron serum and ferritin level hair loss

2026-11-07 11:42:57
I am having low hair density and shedding. All blood tests are normal. DHT is 502 pg/ml. From thyroid to every test it's normal. Serum iron 63 TIBC 367.8 Transferrin saturation 17.13 Zinc 86 Ferritin 41.8 B12 290 Vitamin D 33.96 HB 13.6 DHT 501.68 pg/ml Average Australian man ferritin is 150 What should be my approach? I think iron is lacking a bit and i am taking b12 1500 mcg for now. Also what should be the iron dosage and salt. Chelated iron or what and how many mg? Alternate days or not? And for how long? When should I take a follow up test?
