[|AI|]  Hi, Low Ferritin is a significant cause of hair loss especially since you mentioned heavy periods. Along with supplements, I suggest you also work on Iron rich foods like green leafy vegetables, beetroot, mint leaves, red lentils, apricots, dates to name a few. I also suggest visit your gynecologist to rule out the cause of heavy periods.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
