Asalamwalaikum, normal range of ferritin is 10 to 120 ng/ml in female and your hb level is normal also,you should use tablet surbex z as it also have zinc which is useful to prevent hairfall,but keep in mind that there are multiple factors for hair fall not only nutritional deficiency

I lost weight when my hair started falling, I stopped it and got it checked by dermatologist (he said its due to diet) Still loosing hair after months, I got blood work done. Deficient in Vit D (It was 9 only) so he said its due to vitamin deficiencies and increase your iron level. But 100mg tab is not helping, can I take iron tablet twice to increase to optimal?

please take iron on empty stomach with water . also increase your vitamin c intake. it helps in iron absorption. take foods rich in iron like apple, green veggies, liver,etc . these levels need time to come up. also take vitamin D .

kindly I want to clear that if your vit.d level was low then you should focus on vit.d level because vit.d deficiency also cause hair fall ,which very few people know ,if you have still low vit d level then hair fall will continue
