<![CDATA[Anemia is a condition where the hemoglobin level in the blood is less than the normal level. Adolescent girls are at high risk of anemia, because during this period there is an increased need for iron due to growth and mensturation. School activities and high extracurricular activities will have an impact on irregular eating patterns, besides the habit of consuming drinks that inhibit iron absorption will affect one's hemoglobin levels. Adolescent girls are required to take Blood Addition Tablets because they experience menstruation every month. Blood Add Tablet is useful to replace iron lost due to menstruation and to fulfill iron needs that have not been fulfilled from food. Iron in adolescent girls is also useful for improving learning concentration, maintaining fitness and preventing anemia in future mothers.
