Research has shown that iron deficiency is one of the main causes of hair loss or alopecia. With or with anemia (low blood count or lack of red blood corpuscles), iron deficiency has shown relation to progressive hair loss. In fact, in some cases, iron replacement therapy has caused cessation of hair loss and growth of hair. However, in some cases, people suffering from hair disorders such as androgenetic alopecia have shown no signs of recovery to iron supplements. Iron deficiency has been noticed in about 65% of women who have been suffering from hair loss. Most of them have had re-growth after having their iron content restored. In some cases, on cessation of iron supplement therapy, the anemia and hair loss has returned, suggesting that iron deficiency is one of the main factors that promote hair loss and other hair disorders. Iron deficient patients should be referred to general practitioners or internal physicians.
