Best Answer

Iron is a very important component for our body growth. Deficiency of iron is known as anemia. This can be caused due to lesser intake of iron in diet. Women are mostly prone to iron deficiency during pregnancy. Low iron saturation may indicate a need to increase your iron intake. Supplements for iron is another option but it should be taken under guidance of medical experts.
