A Practical Guide To Iron

Iron Deficiency

In many cases, anemia is an iron deficiency! Individuals who have an iron deficiency cannot rely on their diet alone to help them get the iron they need. They are going to need supplements such as ferrous gluconate to treat anemia and boost their iron. Individuals who are deficient in iron will encounter symptoms such as fatigue, a poor appetite, dizziness, pale skin, as well as nails that break easily. However, they should not take an iron supplement without talking to their doctor! Doctors will advise patients if a supplement is necessary. If it is, they will also talk to patients about the right dose and how to take the supplement for the best effects!
