  1. In the past i struggled with it. Lack of iron in the blood. Which then lead to the hemoglobin level to go very low.

    Then consulted with my doc. friend who then explained me the cause, upon which indigestion is the big reason. Today due to lifestyle every one has the problem of indigestion.

    With the problem of indigestion, the intestines are not able to absorb the nutrients and thus the body starts to lack in nutrients out of which the lack of iron leads to anemia.

    A parallel treatment of gastritis and iron supplement must be done
