A member asked:
I take folic acid with vitamin c with iron & zinc tablets all with each other as i am not pregnant but diagnosed as chronic anemia & depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic anemia: There are several types of "anemia" which can be helped by taking iron and folic acid, and you might also add vitamin B. If the anemia is caused by iron deficiency, you might need more than the iron in standard vitamins. See your healthcare provider for guidance. There are more complicated causes sometimes and you need further testing to be certain.
