Iron Supplements

Iron supplements are medications or vitamins that provide extra iron, a mineral essential for producing hemoglobin—the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. They are often used to treat iron deficiency anemia when the body lacks enough iron to make healthy red blood cells. Iron supplements come in various forms like tablets, liquids, or capsules, and should be taken as directed by a healthcare provider. Proper supplementation can improve energy levels, reduce fatigue, and restore healthy iron levels, but excessive intake can cause side effects, so it’s important to use them under medical guidance.
