Abstract
Vitamin B12 deficiency is a compounding factor in the metabolic etiology of anemia along with folate, and this may be one of the plausible reasons for ineffectiveness of iron supplementation in reducing the incidence of anemia in Indian population. We therefore believe that there is a compelling reason to include vit-B12 & folate in the supplement regimen to alleviate the disease burden of anemia in Indian population.
