Anaemia is a condition in which there aren't enough healthy red blood cells in your body to carry sufficient oxygen to tissues of your body.¹ In India, 57% of women aged between 15-49 years are anaemic.²

The most common type of anaemia is iron deficiency anaemia.³ Iron deficiency anaemia is a form of anaemia that occurs when your body doesn't have enough iron to produce normal red blood cells.⁴ Iron is a mineral required by your body to produce haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is a part of your blood and helps in carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.⁵ Every organ and tissue in your body requires oxygen to function.⁶ If you have iron deficiency anaemia, you may experience weakness, shortness of breath, headache, etc.¹
