Iron Check is an educational tool. It doesn’t diagnose iron deficiency, anemia, or hair loss, and it isn’t a substitute for advice from your healthcare provider.

Iron tablets and hair loss: check before you supplement

Low iron is one of the most common nutrition-related contributors to hair shedding in women. But iron tablets only help your hair if low iron is actually part of the problem.

Iron tablets aren’t a shortcut

If your iron isn’t low, taking more won’t speed up regrowth.

More iron isn’t always better

Iron tablets can cause stomach upset and constipation, and can be harmful if you already have too much iron.

Your bloodwork tells the story

Ferritin, a measure of your stored iron, is the key number. That’s why Iron Check starts with your labs, not a supplement.

What ferritin numbers mean for adults

  • 30 or belowIron deficiency likely
  • 31–50Depends on heavy periods, symptoms, and other risk factors
  • Above 50Reassuring for iron stores, if no inflammation

Based on 2026 guidelines from the American Society of Hematology (blood specialists). Inflammation can make ferritin look normal even when iron is low. Values are in ng/mL.

✅ Iron Check does
