Methylation, Anaemia, and the Hidden Risk in Vegetarian Diets
Iron-deficiency anaemia is often reduced to a simple explanation: not enough iron in the body due to some reasoning. That could be heavy menstrual bleeding, poor diet or poor absorption. While these are all valid contributors, they do not tell the full story. In...
