Hair loss

[paula618]

I just switched from the chewable vitamins to the capsules and iron pills. Now I started losing hair! Should I go back to chewables or could it be something else?

I just had a visit with the dermatologist and discussed Telogen Effluvium with her. She told me to make sure I’m getting my MVI with iron, vitamin D and my protein goals met, because it does make a difference in hair loss. As far as switching from chewable, my bariatric team encourages chewable due to better absorption. Unfortunately, the stress of surgery has this effect. I’ve been going through it myself with only small gains in hair growth at 14 months post surgery.

For those who do not see full recovery even after meeting all nutritional goals FUE hair transplant Turkey is worth exploring as a permanent solution.

Could be coincidental timing as hair loss from nutritional changes takes 2 to 3 months to show up. Check if the capsules have the same dosage and ingredients as the chewables since absorption rates can differ. Give it a few weeks and if shedding continues get your iron and ferritin levels checked before switching back.

Hi k, could you please explain what MVI and FUE mean? I speak English but I can only guess. Those who don't speak English may be in the dark. A good rule of thumb is PLEASE don't use acronyms beyond RNY and RYGB.

Thank you so much.
