BIO-COMBINATION 1 (ANAEMIA)

Anaemia is the condition when there is a decrease in the number of red blood cells (RBCs) or less than the normal quantity of haemoglobin in the blood. It can affect adults and children of both sexes, although pregnant and adolescent girls are more susceptible to it. During pregnancy and lactation, the requirement for nutrients increases manifold. Anaemia can be caused due to dietary deficiency or malnutrition, poor absorption of iron, multiple pregnancies, increased blood loss due to piles (haemorrhoids), heavy menstrual bleeding resulting in fatigue, poor concentration or reduced work capacity, and shortness of breath.
