Low Iron Side Effect #2: Poor Skin and Hair
Our skin and hair are alive and need to be fed with oxygen and nutrients just as the rest of the body does. If they are not fed as needed then they can begin to suffer as a result. They can become dry and damaged and hair can even begin to fall out in some cases. These symptoms are sometimes caused by a lack of iron in the blood.
With insufficient iron for other parts of the body, supplies to the skin and hair will be restricted to feed more essential parts such as organs. This causes a poor complexion and dry, damaged hair, a tell-tale sign of a lack of iron in the blood.
