iron supplements and our hair

recently reading an article not related to weight loss , but mentioned hairloss due to lack of protein and iron  ...do any of you take an iron supplement.  i recall reading one post that said her hairloss after taking iron pills ,.......love you opinions

I take iron, average 75g protein/day and am losing my hair - though not too badly.

what type or brand of  iron is it over the counter or from dr

thanks cherrie

 I use Spring Valley 27mg.  From Wal-Mart I think.

 yes, I take iron pills 2 or 3 times a day and also get 60-90 grams of protein a day and my hair is falling out like crazy! I hope I have some left by the time Im done losing!!

i'm pre surg still, but my blood work showed i had low iron.  doc has me taking one tablet a day.  he recommended feosol, 325 mg with 65 mg elemental iron.

not sure if that will be the same afterward, but hope it helps.
