الإجابة باختصار

Take iron only when a blood test confirms low ferritin. Menstruating women are the group most likely to need it, but supplementing without a deficiency causes constipation and nausea for no benefit, and iron overload carries real risk. Ask for a ferritin test, not just haemoglobin.

أسئلة شائعة

How do I know if I need an iron supplement?
Get a blood test: ferritin (iron stores) + haemoglobin. Ferritin below 30 ng/mL indicates depletion; below 12 is deficiency. Do not supplement iron without confirming deficiency — excess iron is harmful.
What is the best form of iron supplement to take?
Iron bisglycinate has the best absorption and fewest side effects. Ferrous sulfate is most common but causes constipation. Ferric forms are less absorbable. Take on an empty stomach with vitamin C for best results.
Does iron deficiency cause hair loss in women?
Yes — iron is essential for hair follicle function. Low ferritin (below 30–40 ng/mL) is a common but overlooked cause of diffuse hair shedding in women. Correcting deficiency stops further loss; hair regrowth takes 3–6 months.
Which foods improve iron absorption in UAE diet?
Pair plant iron (chickpeas, lentils, dark greens) with vitamin C (lemon juice, tomatoes). Avoid calcium, coffee, or tea within 1 hour of iron-rich meals — these strongly inhibit iron absorption.
