First, I want to tell you that symptoms of anemia include feeling tired or faint and getting breathless easily. Treatment usually involves taking
iron tablets and treating the underlying cause, depending from cause of anemia. You should also understand that iron is the main component of
hemoglobin. Lack of dietary iron is the world’s leading nutritional deficiency and the most common cause of anemia that are reported. Other vitamins needed body to make red blood cells include folate and vitamin B12. A lack of these in the diet can cause anemia as well as iron deficiency. That is why there are different terms for these anemias such as folate-deficiency anemia and Vitamin B12-deficiency anemia. A common cause of iron-deficiency anemia in women is heavy periods where about 1 in 10 women become anemic at some time in their life due to heavy periods. You should also understand that anyone who has difficulty absorbing iron may need iron injections instead of tablets.
