I'm 20 years old and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to drink Ensure powder since I'm anemic. Can this help with my condition?
Yes, you can drink Ensure powder drink at the age of 20. Ensure is a nutritional supplement that can help meet your daily nutrient requirements. Since you mentioned you are anemic, Ensure can be beneficial as it contains iron which is important for managing anemia. You can take one serving of Ensure powder drink per day to supplement your diet and help improve your nutritional status.

I'm trying to understand my lab report and I've got some questions. It's mentioned as "Remarks ALERT," and says something about "Predominantly normocytic normochromic with macrocytes and ovalocytes." Can you help me make sense of that? My Hemoglobin is at 12.8, MCV is 109.9 fL, MCH is 33.2 pg, MCHC is 30.3 gdL, RDW-SD is 59.3 fL, and RDW-CV is 14.4. Is there something I should be concerned about? What do these terms mean in terms of my health?
The report indicates that your red blood cells are mostly normal in size and color (normocytic, normochromic), but there are also some abnormally large (macrocytes) and oval-shaped cells present. This could suggest a possible vitamin deficiency or other underlying condition. Your hemoglobin level is normal, but the high MCV (mean corpuscular volume) may point to macrocytosis. Its a good idea to follow up with your doctor to understand the cause.
