    GlossaryIron Supplementation

    use of iron pills to treat iron deficiency anemia

    Iron supplementation refers to the use of iron pills, tablets, or capsules to increase the levels of iron in the body. This is often necessary for individuals with iron deficiency anemia, a condition where the body lacks enough healthy red blood cells due to insufficient iron. Proper iron levels are crucial for producing hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, and for overall energy and immune function.
