The Role of Iron in Hair & Skin Health

Skin and hair cells are rapidly proliferating tissues within the body. As such, they require a balance between several micronutrients, including iron, zinc, and vitamins A through E [1]. Since iron is vital for hemoglobin formation, optimal oxygenation of hair follicles and skin cells depends on sufficient reservoirs of iron.

The hair cycle involves four phases (anagen, catagen, telogen, and exogen), which lead to rapid turnover of hair matrix and follicular bulb cells [2]. This cycle involves several iron-dependent processes, which influence the regulation of key genes. Similarly, iron is essential for skin cell turnover, homeostasis, and protection against excess reactive oxygen species [3].

How Iron Deficiency & Low Ferritin Affects Hair & Skin Health

Since ferritin binds to iron within the blood, low ferritin levels strongly reflect inadequate stores of iron within the body [4]. Clinical research suggests that serum ferritin levels should be at least 70 ng/mL for proper hair growth [1]. It is also well-known that iron deficiency is associated with elevated transferrin and total iron-binding capacity.

Current research suggests that low ferritin levels are associated with hair loss, particularly female pattern hair loss, alopecia, and diffuse hair loss [5,6]. Multiple studies have also indicated that iron deficiency is a cause of telogen effluvium, a type of temporary hair loss during the telogen phase of the hair cycle [7,8]. In fact, one study that examined the effects of oral iron supplementation on the progression of telogen effluvium found that participants exhibited significantly decreased hair loss and increased serum ferritin levels [9].

Current Research on the Benefits of Derma-IRON

By optimizing iron reserves within the body, Derma-IRON supports and maintains skin and hair growth, as well as overall wellness, with the following benefits.

Supports iron absorption – This type of iron was found to have two to seven times greater oral bioavailability through the gastrointestinal tract than standard ferrous sulfate [10,11,12].Low risk of constipation and gastric upset – Since this type of iron is fully chelated, non-ionizable, non-reducible, and fully soluble in water between a pH of 2 to 6, there is a low risk of constipation and other gastrointestinal adverse effects [11,12].Low rate of food interactions – Due to the chemical structure of this type of iron, which partially prevents iron-phytate interactions, there is a low rate of interactions. Additionally, the fully soluble nature of this type of iron in a wide pH range allows for optimal absorption in the duodenum and remainder of the small intestine [12].

Additionally, the Derma-Iron supplement is fortified with vitamin C, which is essential for skin health since it supports lysyl hydroxylase and strengthens the collagen backbone [13]. For all-around support, Derma-Iron is enriched with collagen.
