Before you take supplements for anemia, you need to find out why you are anemic. Your doctor will order blood tests to determine the cause.
Self-treatment of anemia without a professional diagnosis is a bad idea. This is because even though supplements may improve your anemia temporarily, you could be ignoring an important underlying problem.
For instance, the most common form of anemia, iron-deficiency anemia, is usually due to heavy menstrual periods. But iron-deficiency anemia can actually caused by any loss of blood, including a bleeding ulcer or even a tumor in your colon. In such cases, the anemia is simply a "red-flag" warning. And to mask this warning by self-treatment can be dangerous.
After your doctor has started treatment, be sure to have a blood test every month to make sure it is working.
