Low hemoglobin can be caused by iron deficiency, B12 or folate deficiency, chronic inflammation, gut issues, infections like H. pylori, or blood loss (e.g., heavy periods). Identifying the root cause is essential for proper treatment.

Common symptoms include fatigue, pale skin, hair fall, brittle nails, and shortness of breath. Blood tests like hemoglobin and ferritin confirm iron deficiency.

This can happen due to poor absorption, gut issues (like SIBO or H. pylori), inflammation, or incorrect diagnosis. Addressing the root cause improves outcomes.

Anemia of inflammation occurs when chronic disease or inflammation blocks iron utilization, even if iron levels are adequate. It requires targeted support beyond iron supplementation.

LF-MAX (liposomal lactoferrin) helps improve iron absorption, regulate iron metabolism, and reduce inflammation, making it effective in both deficiency and inflammatory anemia.
