What is ferritin?
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body and helps regulate its availability for essential biological functions, including hair growth.
Low ferritin levels are commonly linked to hair shedding and thinning, particularly in women, and may be addressed with dietary or supplemental iron.
