📖What is Iron Deficiency Anaemia?

Iron Deficiency Anaemia is the most common form of anaemia worldwide, occurring when the body lacks sufficient iron to produce adequate hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Without enough iron, the body produces fewer and smaller red blood cells, reducing the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity. This leads to widespread fatigue and reduced physical and cognitive performance. It is especially common in women of reproductive age, young children, and people with poor dietary iron intake or chronic blood loss.
