Anemia

Blood Disorders


Anemia is a blood disorder caused when red blood cells are not able to carry oxygen to the tissue.   This can stem from nutritional problems such as lack of usable iron, vitamin B12 or folic acid.  


Certain herbs deliver a highly absorbable form of iron, this is usually more effective than iron supplements.
