hair loss with low ferritin and Hashimoto's (Thyroid Conditions & Hair Loss)

posted by kmkim, 11.02.2008, 15:21

» Hi-
» I had the same issue and it turned out to be LOW COPPER. And by taking
» iron you continue to deplete your copper levels as the iron is
» antagonistic to the copper. And instead of iron anemia you could have
» copper anemia.
» Get a trio of serum copper,zinc, ferritin on your next blood test to see.
» Good luck!
» My hair is full & long again after YEARS of taking iron to no avail and
» now taking a small amount of copper every 3-4 days along w/a multi-vitamin
» which contains BOTH copper & zinc as they balance each other.

Dear Ms. Libby,

I am not sure if you are the same one offering great advice from a couple of years ago signing as Ms. Lib. I just happen to read this forum after a long break as I noticed continued hair loss. Do you feel that LOW COPPER is the answer instead of iron which everyone writes is the cause of hair loss? How did you find this out? Trial and Error? Please let us know. I am dying to try to something else as the iron continues with my hair loss. Thanks!
