Hi there, you need to find out why you have anemia. If it is "simple" iron deficiency anemia then yes a iron supplement and an improved diet of iron rich foods should get back on track, but there can be other hidden causes for anemia which unless treated. Anemia happens when: 1. your body loses too much blood (heavy periods, certain diseases, injury) 2. your body doesn't make enough red blood cells 3. your red blood cells break down faster than you can replace them or a combination of the above There are also different types of anemia, all with different causes: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) Folate or Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia Anemias caused by underlying diseases e.g. kidney disease Anemias caused by inherited blood disease Hope this helps, Post edited by: PeterE, at: 10/19/2011 02:18 AM Post edited by: PeterE, at: 10/19/2011 02:18 AM Peter Erickson
