Folic Acid Deficiency Anemia, Iron Deficiency Anemia,
Pernicious Anemia, Vitamin B₁₂ Deficiency Anemia

Description

Anemia occurs when the blood becomes deficient of red blood cells (RBC's) or hemoglobin, which is part of the RBC that binds to oxygen. The primary function of the RBC's is to carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues of the body and exchange it for carbon dioxide, a byproduct of metabolism.

There are several different reasons you might be experiencing anemia. Three specific types of anemia caused by specific nutritional deficiencies are outlined below, as they are the most common. They are iron deficiency anemia, vitamin B₁₂ deficiency anemia (pernicious anemia), and folic acid deficiency anemia.
