Iron supplements and vitamin c to help absorb the iron.

Answer 2

Be careful here---
First, you need to know why you have low hemoglobin ( Anemia). This is extremely important.

The most common cause in the US is iron deficiency anemia and you take iron for it. It causes very small red blood cells without much hemoglobin. But there are also genetic conditions - thalassemia that cause chronic anemia. If you have that and you take iron, you risk a serious condition called iron overload.

Sometimes a B12 or folate deficiency can cause anemia - but in this case the red blood cells get very large, but have little hemoglobin.

Other causes of anemia:
Acute or chronic bleeding can cause anemia.
Parasites - malaria is an example
Genetic conditions like thalassemia and sickle cell
Even conditions that breakup red blood cells prematurely, like paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
Cancers + Leukemias


Bottom line ---- ASK YOUR DR. WHY YOU ARE ANEMIC to get the best answer. Do not just take iron. If your liver is impaired you could have problems. If you are anemic , you should be monitored with blood test to make sure whatever treament your dr. prescribes is working. Do not just assume.

Please do not try commercial websites with "natural" cures. ASK YOUR DR.
BTW Andrea - learn how to spell "enzyme".

Answer 3

I think you need to determine the reason for the low hemoglobin. Doesn't necessarily mean you have an iron deficiency.

Answer 4

If you have low hemoglobin, one of the easiest ways to increase your level is to make sure your diet includes enough iron. It is recommended that women get 8 mgs of iron each day; men should get 10 mgs.

Iron-rich Foods. If you eat meat, beef, liver, and shrimp are great iron-rich foods. If you are a vegetarian, you will have to get your iron from sources that are not as readily absorbable. Some of these sources are spinach, tofu, asparagus, pineapple, dried fruits and iron-enriched breads and grains. If you are not allergic, add some almonds and other nuts to your diet for a quick boost in iron.

Vitamin C-rich Foods. Vitamin C helps your body to absorb the iron you eat. You can get vitamin C from many fruits and vegetables including peppers, mangoes, oranges, strawberries, cabbage, broccoli, grapefruit, tangerines, tomatoes, and spinach.

Folic Acid-rich Foods. Folic acid is one of the B vitamins that are essential in producing red blood cells. Folic acid is found in sprouts, seeds, peanuts, broccoli, wheat germ, and other nuts. Be sure to add more folic acid to your diet if you are taking a lot of Vitamin C since Vitamin C causes your body to excrete folic acid.

Whole Grains. Many whole grains in the form of breads, cereals and pastas are enriched with iron. These iron-enriched foods can provide a good source of iron to increase your hemoglobin. Be sure to read the label to know how much iron is in your food.

Supplements to Increase Hemoglobin

Your healthcare provider may want you to take prescription or over-the-counter supplements to increase your hemoglobin level. Some of these supplements may include iron (20-25 mg per day), vitamin B6 (50-100 mg per day), vitamin B12 (500-1000 mg per day), vitamin C (1000 mg per day) and folic acid (400 mcg per day). The iron helps in the synthesis of the hematin. The vitamins and folic acid are criticalfor the production of the red blood cells that carry the hemoglobin.
3. Herbs to Increase Hemoglobin

Herbs can be very useful when trying to increase your hemoglobin level. Specifically, nettle leaf, dong quai, and withania may be helpful. Nettle leaf contains iron, the B vitamins, vitamin C and other vitamins that can help increase hemoglobin. Dong quai and withania have been used for centuries to increase red blood cells and to make the hemoglobin in the cells healthier. As with any over-the-counter supplement or herb, be sure to check with your healthcare provider to ensure that the herbs do not interact with other medications you may be taking.
good luck.
