Iron-Deficiency Anemia

Iron-Deficiency Anemia occurs when the body lacks enough iron to produce hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. It is more common in women due to menstruation. Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, and dizziness.

Treatment involves iron supplements, dietary changes to include more iron-rich foods, and addressing the underlying cause of the deficiency. Maintaining a balanced diet and monitoring iron levels are essential.

Regular monitoring, adherence to treatment, and addressing underlying causes are important for managing iron-deficiency anemia effectively. Support from healthcare providers and nutritional guidance can also be beneficial.

Iron supplementation is the mainstay of treatment, Vitamin C enhances iron absorption, Vitamin B12 and Folate are important for red blood cell production, and Copper is involved in iron metabolism. It is essential to consult a healthcare provider before starting supplementation.
