A member asked:
What vitamins can you recommend for an iron deficiency anemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Iron pills, but..: It is important to understand why you have iron deficiency. If it is because of pregnancy or heavy periods, then taking iron pills will help, and thats all that you need do. But if there is another reason, it needs to be established. Iron deficiency usually means blood loss from somewhere, or rarely, malabsorption of iron from the diet.
