Also require Vit. A, Copper, amino acids for proper biological utilization of the iron. Comprehensive therapy works better than stand alone doses. Share your opinion. I have attached a publication.
Found some studies showing better benefit when iron is administered once in 3 days instead of daily dose.

My own Clinical Observations and benefit in hair regrowth:
1. Rajput R (2017) The Concept of Cyclical Nutritional Therapy for Hair Growth which can be Applied for Wellness. J Nutr Food Sci 7:615. doi: 10.4172/2155-9600.1000615

Interesting to review and consider.
