Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common types of anemia. It occurs due to a lack of sufficient iron in the body required to make hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein present in your red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen. Because of reduced hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying capacity of your blood decreases. This means that the rest of your body tissues will not be delivered the oxygen it requires, which can slow down functions. Iron deficiency anemia can be treated to restore normal body functions.
