Does simple iron deficiency anemia require blood supplementation?

In daily life, many people are troubled by anemia problems, such as long-term vegetarianism, excessive menstrual flow, and chronic bleeding in the digestive system, which can all cause simple iron deficiency anemia. Although the initial symptoms may only be fatigue and dizziness, long-term neglect can lead to more serious consequences. Children may have an impact on their growth, development, and learning abilities; Pregnant women may cause fetal growth retardation and premature birth; Older people are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. So, if you ask 'Does pure iron deficiency anemia require blood supplementation?' of course, it is necessary.

In terms of diet [SEP], the iron in animal food is mostly heme iron, which has a high absorption and utilization rate. Pig liver is a food that is very rich in iron (rich in heme iron) and is also a good blood supplement ingredient. Red meat such as beef and mutton are also good choices. They are not only rich in iron, but also contain high-quality protein, which can provide various nutritional support for the body and help improve hematopoietic efficiency. In plant-based foods such as black fungus and spinach, the iron content is also considerable. For example, spinach paired with oranges rich in vitamin C can promote iron absorption and improve the utilization rate of iron in spinach. In addition, foods such as red dates and longan are often regarded as excellent blood supplements. Red dates can invigorate the spleen and stomach, nourish qi and blood, while longan has the effects of nourishing the heart and spleen, nourishing blood and calming the mind. Boiling them into soup for consumption can help improve anemia to some extent, but their iron content is not high and they are non heme iron, with limited absorption rate. As part of a balanced diet, it is possible, but cannot replace primary sources of iron or medication treatment.

Secondly, in terms of medication [SEP], for patients with moderate to severe iron deficiency anemia, relying solely on food to supplement blood may be slower, and medication is generally needed to supplement iron. Common medications include ferrous sulfate, ferrous succinate, polysaccharide iron complexes, etc. How should these iron supplements be selected? When making a choice, it is important to focus on efficacy, safety (tolerability), and absorption rate. Traditional iron agents such as ferrous sulfate and ferrous succinate have been widely used in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in the past. But it has a clear drawback, which is that the activity of free iron ions is high, which can cause significant irritation to the gastrointestinal tract, easily react with other substances, and have high side effects. Some patients may experience nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms after taking the medication, and their intestinal peristalsis may also be affected, leading to problems such as constipation. Moreover, the absorption effect of traditional iron supplements is not very stable and is easily affected by various components in food, such as dietary fiber, calcium, phosphorus and other substances in food, which may reduce their absorption rate.

The original imported iron agent - Lefengneng polysaccharide iron complex capsules are mainly used to treat simple iron deficiency anemia, with significant iron supplementation effects. Each capsule contains 150mg of iron, with an iron content of 46%, which can quickly supplement iron elements to the human body and improve hemoglobin levels. After years of clinical verification, the efficacy is definite and can effectively improve anemia symptoms. Compared with other iron supplements, Lefeng is a polysaccharide iron complex with a unique pellet structure, similar to gastric iron, which can be easily absorbed by small mucosal cells. It is absorbed in the digestive tract in the form of intact molecules, effectively avoiding the problem of free iron ions, and has better safety compared to other oral iron supplements. Therefore, the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions (such as nausea and constipation) is significantly lower than that of traditional ferrous preparations. At the same time, the safety factor is more than 13 times that of ordinary iron agents. After being diagnosed with simple iron deficiency anemia, patients need to supplement blood as soon as possible, with mild dietary supplementation and moderate to severe medication according to medical advice. If calcium supplements are taken at the same time, it is recommended to take them at intervals of more than 2 hours. Follow the doctor's advice to use oral iron supplements (such as polysaccharide iron complex capsules - Levofloxacin) ®) It is the core of effectively correcting anemia and supplementing iron reserves. It is crucial to choose drugs with good tolerance, such as PIC classes without free iron ions.
