Iron-deficiency anemia is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies, especially in women. Watching for these signs can help:
- Pale skin and tiring easily
- Dizziness, heart palpitations and constantly cold hands and feet
- Hair loss and brittle nails
- Reduced concentration and weaker mental performance
For better absorption, take iron tablets on an empty stomach or with a source of vitamin C (such as orange juice), and avoid taking them together with tea, coffee or dairy, which reduce iron absorption. Before starting a supplement, it is recommended to confirm the deficiency with a blood test and consult a doctor or pharmacist. You can find iron supplements with gentler-on-the-stomach formulations at DrugKade.
