Anemia is a condition where the body doesn’t have enough healthy red blood cells. Healthy red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein rich in iron that helps red blood cells deliver oxygen to the body’s organs. People with anemia have less oxygen going to their organs, causing them to feel fatigued or cold. There are different types of anemia, each with different causes and treatment.

The most common type of anemia is iron-deficiency anemia.* The body needs iron to make the healthy red blood cells that deliver oxygen throughout the body.
