Can an iron supplement stop severe hair loss?

Major portion of the blood contains iron as an essential mineral. Main function of iron is to help the body in production of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is carrier of oxygen to different parts of the body to nourish the body cells. Iron is also responsible for production of myoglobin which is a type of hemoglobin found in the muscles. Oxygenation of the red blood cells in the body is carried out with the help of hemoglobin. These functions of iron make it important for proper functioning of the body cells. Beside this iron is also necessary for proper and normal growth of the hair. If body is not supplied with the necessary stores, then the non essential storage in the body will be used up to satisfy body’s requirement. Because the hair cells are not important from living point of view body uses them which results in hair loss. In order to maintain proper supply of iron in the body the amount of iron which is used or excreted from the body must be replaced with the food supplements to prevent hair loss. For preventing hair loss iron supplement such as cereals, spinach, beans must be consumed. Food supplements which contain constituents to enable the absorption of iron in blood must be consumed.
