Abstract

Anemia Pandu Roga  is one of the common problem in the developing countries like India specially in women and adolescents. Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is the commonest form of anaemia in adolescents. Anaemia is typically the first clue to iron deficiency, but an isolated haemoglobin measurement has both low specificity and low sensitivity. The optimal diagnostic approach is to measure the serum ferritin as an index of iron stores and the serum transferrin receptor as a index of tissue iron deficiency. So our main aim is to improve the iron level in body by supplement foods or medicines rich in iron content. Tila, Guda and Soyabean are rich source of iron and they contain good nutritive value also. They treat anemia by improving the iron content and agni i.e. digestive power by which healthy tissues can be formed.
