It's Not Your Hair. It's Your Ferritin.
Hair shedding in the shower. Thinning at the part. More strands on your pillow than usual. The cause most people never get tested for is iron, specifically a marker called ferritin. When ferritin drops below 50 ng/mL, hair follicles starve and shedding accelerates. Iron tablets fail because over 90% of the dose is lost to digestion before reaching your bloodstream. ORI1 strips dissolve under your tongue and deliver 19 mg of iron + 400 mcg of folate straight into circulation, bypassing the gut entirely. By week 6 to 8, ferritin starts climbing and the shedding starts slowing.

When This Number Moves, Hair Shedding Slows
Iron up from 12 to 116. Ferritin up from 8 to 65. 8 weeks. This is the number that, when low, starves your hair follicles. Hair is one of the first systems your body shuts down when iron runs low, which is why most diffuse shedding traces back to ferritin under 50. Biotin supplements, hair vitamins, scalp treatments, even minoxidil all act on the follicle itself. None of them give the follicle the iron it's missing. If the underlying number is low, you can spend years stimulating follicles that don't have the fuel to respond. When ferritin climbs, shedding usually slows within weeks. If your shedding is severe, sudden, or your doctor suspects thyroid, hormonal or androgenetic causes, get tested first: this addresses ferritin-related shedding, not every type.

Bypasses your gut entirely
No Stomach Cramps. No Nausea. No Constipation.
Iron tablets sit in your gut, where unabsorbed iron irritates the intestinal lining and triggers the side effects you know too well. Sublingual strips skip the gut completely. The iron goes through the mucosa under your tongue and straight into circulation. Peel, place, dissolve, done before your coffee's ready, and your stomach never knows it happened.

The Number on Your Blood Test Actually Changes
For most people on iron tablets, ferritin moves 2 or 3 points per quarter, if at all. After three months of pills, they go back to their doctor, get the same blood test, see the same numbers, and start being told about iron infusions as the next step, while their hair keeps thinning. Sublingual delivery is the variable that breaks the cycle. Typical patient numbers move from low single digits into the 30s and 40s over 6 to 8 weeks, with continued climb on subsequent tests. Hair shedding usually slows on the same timeline. Numbers, not promises.
Up to 10x More Reaches Your Bloodstream And Your Follicles
A standard 65mg iron tablet delivers under 6mg of absorbable iron on a good day. Stomach acid degrades it, hepcidin blocks most of what's left, and ferritin rarely climbs high enough to feed your follicles. ORI1 dissolves directly through the oral mucosa, the same route used for nitroglycerin in emergency medicine, so up to 80% of the iron reaches circulation and has a real chance of refilling the reserve your hair actually uses. If your hair loss has been traced to a different cause, follow your doctor's advice. For ferritin-related shedding, delivery is the variable almost no one has tested.
1,422+ People. The Shedding That Finally Stopped.
The single most common message we get starts with the same sentence: "The shedding stopped." After months of watching handfuls in the shower drain, in the brush, on the pillow, watching it slow is the moment everything changes. The second message, always a week or two later, is the ferritin number that finally climbed back into range. The hair recovery and the number recovery are the same recovery, just arriving at different times.
