Low ferritin
Hi
I had issues with low b12 and D for 2yrs in Covid time due to bad diet , however I started taking supplements last 6 months back and Vitamin D and B12 is back to normal but after stopping b12 for a month noticed the b12 levels back to low so I started taking it again (folvite active) and it’s back to normal now.
Above to this I had ferritin levels too low at 19-20ng/ml and it’s currently 24ng/ml.
I have been facing huge hair loss since Covid which seems to relates to above issues along with stressful events, however I’m on good diet now.
My question are
1) I’m worried does stoping b12 supplement will go my b12 low back again.
2) how can I recover from low ferritin as this looks to relates issues to hair re growth.

Low Ferritin level indicates that you have less iron stores available in the body. So you need Iron supplements. It can be an intravenous injection or it can be oral iron. The total amount required can be calculated as per the weight of the person and the extent of anaemia.
