I'm a bit worried because I just got my blood test results back, and my PDW is 25.5. The report says the normal range is between 9.6 and 15.2. What should I do next? Should I be concerned about this?

Can taking AMWAY tri folic supplements help boost my HB levels? My current HB is 12.7, and I'm a 30-year-old male with a metabolic age of 35. What's your advice on this?

your hemoglobin is just below the normal range. SO just start consuming fruits ,greeny vegetables

I'm really concerned about my hemoglobin levels. In July, my HB was at 8.7, and now it's dropped to 5.8. I've already done all the blood-related tests, but they haven't shown any issues. I'm wondering if drinking red wine could help increase my hemoglobin. What do you think?

Red wine can provide some iron, but it's not a reliable or significant source to increase hemoglobin. If your hemoglobin is very low, it's important to focus on iron-rich foods, supplements, and follow up with your doctor to find the underlying cause.

I've been struggling with low hemoglobin levels for the past year, but I can't pinpoint what's causing it. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

this may be due to deficient intake of iron or hook work parasitic infection in the body
