It may take time for someone to notice your question and respond. Please be patient.

I was hospitalized for anemia last September, and understand your question. Here is information from one reliable site --

If you are already suffering from low ferritin levels and female hair loss, you may want to try one of these treatment options, or a combination of options:

* Iron supplementation. The use of an iron supplement may help low ferritin hair loss by adding more iron to your system. The rationale for iron supplementation is that once the serum level is raised to the necessary threshold point, hair growth will resume. However, one of the biggest drawbacks to this type of treatment is that it takes a long time, because ferritin levels must be increased gradually. Allow 2-3 months for hair to stop shedding, and 5-6 months for new hairs to become long enough to make a visible impact.

* Many women who want to look and feel their best are turning to all-natural remedies to treat low serum ferritin hair loss. All-natural products will begin acting immediately, and do not carry many of the risks or side effects associated with most medications. An additional advantage is that many all-natural ingredients have added health benefits as they provide important building blocks to the body.
