answer to Gina's ? (Anemia & Hair Loss)

Gina,

324 mg of Ferrous Gluconate is equivalent to 38 mg of iron. Ferrous gluconate is a form of iron; one that is highly absorbed. Take no more than 15mg of zinc on top of what's in your multi. I still recommend having your zinc levels tested first; it's never good to self-supplement particularly with individual vitamins & minerals as they are so delicately balance...i.e. zinc & copper compete for the same transport protein, and which ever is present in the highest concentration, will be absorbed first, potentially leading to an excess of one and a deficiency of the other. Remember also, that hair loss can result from either too much or too little zinc. Please check with your physician before grasping at straws. Believe when I say I know how you feel. I just don't want you to make things worse. You really need to have the proper lab work done and get some kind of diagnosis Gina.
Best wishes,
Deb
