Hello Alopecia areata is an auto immune disorder in which the growth of your hair is arrested due to several factors. Iron and calcium tablets will not help you regrow the hair in the lost patches. You need to take specific hair related mineral, vitamins as well as general vitamins. Also, in addition, you might have to use creams that you need to apply on the skin. Unless all these things are done, fast growth of the lost hair is not possible.
