But first...
Let's learn about anemia.
What is anemia?
What is hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein in red blood cells. Oxygen entering the lungs attaches to the hemoglobin in the blood, which carries it to the tissues in the body.
What are the symptoms?
Although they can be mild, symptoms can include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, irregular heartbeats, shortness of breath, dizziness or lightheadedness, chest pain, cold hands and feet, and headaches.
Who is at risk?
Women
Women are generally at greater risk of iron deficiency anemia due to factors like blood loss during menstruation and the increased need for blood during pregnancy.
Infants and Children
Infants—especially those born prematurely and/or with low birth weight—may be at risk of iron deficiency if they do not receive enough iron from breast milk or formula. Older children need extra iron during growth spurts and other stages of development.
Vegetarians and Vegans
People who don’t eat meat or animal-based products may have a greater risk of iron deficiency anemia if they don’t eat other iron-rich foods.
Frequent Blood Donors
People who routinely donate blood may have an increased risk of iron deficiency anemia, because blood donation can deplete the body’s iron stores.
The Elderly
Anemia becomes more common as people grow older due to lower blood cell count.
AnemoCheck Home
AnemoCheck Home is a single use, disposable test for hemoglobin level determination in the comfort of your own home.
AnemoCheck Home will be the only FDA-cleared, over-the-counter hemoglobin test available in 2021.
