Treatment Options
Treatment varies from iron supplements and dietary changes to Vitamin B12 injections. It is crucial to identify the underlying cause through a complete blood count (CBC) test.
Prevention & Lifestyle
Eat a diet rich in iron (spinach, red meat, beans), Vitamin B12 (dairy, eggs, meat), and Vitamin C to help improve iron absorption.
