I used to feel tired in the morning .i have frontal hair loss.i started taking iron supplement.i feel great now on mornings.how long can i take it?

Iron supplements: Great to hear that you feel great now. The frontal hair lost MAY simply be the beginning of male pattern baldness. See your doc to get your iron level measured and you will know how long to take it or if you need it any longer. Peace and good health.
