I take health supplements as a way to obtain necessary vitamins, minerals and iron. I have a condition called anemia which consists of a deficiency in hemoglobin within red blood cells. Since hemoglobin carries oxygen from the lungs to organs and tissues, a deficit in hemoglobin causes lack of oxygen in the organs and could eventually cause serious health conditions. Health supplements are crucial in the treatment of anemia.

During the pasts months I haven’t felt like myself, I’ve felt tired and sad. Normally I am active and I perform a wide variety of activities during the day. Physically I was looking different from usual as I was incredibly pale. My parents decided to make an appointment with the doctor because they were very worried that I could be seriously ill. My doctor suggested I immediately take a complete blood test, and as soon as I showed him the results he indicated that I had a deficiency in hemoglobin.

He explained that this is a very common disease which affects mostly undernourished children and adults because it is originated from an iron deficiency. He prescribed health supplements and a change of diet; he based my diet on salmon, fortified dairy products, and green vegetables. I take weekly blood tests to monitor the state of my condition. So far the change in diet and the health supplements have had positive results because each week my hemoglobin levels continue to rise.
