Why this panel

Marek's entry hair-loss panel — the core reversible causes in one product.

💡 What most people missBefore buying this, check our Female Hair Loss panel — it's cheaper and specifically weighted toward the causes that actually dominate in women (ferritin and thyroid), rather than a general androgen workup.
⏰ When to get it drawnMorning. Off biotin 72 hours — it corrupts thyroid results.

✓ How to read the resultsHair loss has a small number of reversible causes and a large number of irreversible ones, and this panel exists to separate them. Ferritin is the highest-yield number here — and the threshold that matters is not the lab’s. Shedding commonly improves above 50 ng/mL and hair regrowth work targets higher still, so a "normal" ferritin of 25 is a finding rather than an all-clear. Then thyroid: both under- and over-active cause diffuse shedding, and TSH alone can miss it. Androgens point at pattern hair loss, which is a different problem with different treatment. If every number here is genuinely fine and you are still shedding, the cause is usually telogen effluvium from a stressor three to four months ago — and that resolves on its own. Regrowth takes six to nine months whatever you do, because that is the follicle cycle.
