Iron Deficiency

Iron deficiency is when your body's iron stores run too low, causing tiredness, paleness and hair loss, and it is very common among menstruating women.

If you are feeling unusually tired, looking pale or noticing more hair in your brush than usual, low iron could be part of the story. Iron deficiency happens when your body's iron stores drop too low, and because we lose iron through our monthly periods, it is especially common among women. Iron helps carry oxygen around your body, so running low can leave you drained.

A few nourishing habits can gently help.

  • Enjoy iron rich foods like lentils, spinach and red meat
  • Pair them with vitamin C to boost absorption

Always check with a doctor before starting supplements. Our natural hair care tips can support your strands while you rebuild your energy from within.
