Hairfall and Hair thinning blood tests
I’ve had a lot of hair fall for 3 years but in the past 2–3 months, I’ve also noticed hair thinning. My ferritin is 17.9ng/mL, Vitamin B12 - 267 pg/ml, vitamin D serum - 36.6 ng/ml and thyroid tsh is 3.48. Are these levels okay for hair regrowth?
Should I take iron or B12 supplements? If yes, which ones and for how long?

You can start iron supplements with prescription.
But you need more detailed evaluation to identify the cause for hair loss. Better to consult a physician.
