You all know about my struggle with hair loss if you don't you can check out my post here, i've been trying out a lot of remedies this past year, some have been completely useless and some I believe have really aided in stopping the hair full I was experiencing. I started taking Liquid Iron six months ago and have noticed a change in my overall health [goodbye unexplained fatigue] I started to take it because like many women I suffer from a VERY heavy menstrual flow [wide set vagina and a heavy flow lol] and my doctor said this might have some effect on my hair, due to a lack of iron causing the body to go into 'survival mode' and so oxygen is used for vital organs [these not being your hair follicles]
"women should receive about 10 mg of iron daily, menstruating or nursing women 15 mg, and pregnant women 30 mg daily"
I was offered Iron supplements from my doctor, however I preferred to looked for a natural alternative, staring with my diet
Iron-rich foods include:
dark-green leafy vegetables, such as watercress and curly kale
iron-fortified cereals or bread
brown rice
pulses and beans
nuts and seeds
white and red meat
fish
tofu
eggs
dried fruit, such as dried apricots, prunes and raisins
I already include much of these foods into my diet, so when I found Veridian had a 100% Organic liquid iron supplement I was happy to try it.
"100% Organic Liquid Iron contains a unique, fully-certified organic source of iron extracted from Murraya koenigii leaves.

Viridian liquid Iron tastes like oranges, it does have strange taste and is supper thick, I would say it's unpleasant but it's not the most amazing thing i've ever put in my mouth, I've been taking two spoons per day for the last 6 months and have noticed a difference in my tiredness, I can't say for sure but I have been noticing my hair fall has decreased though I'm sure this is not solely to do with my iron intake.
