Iron deficiency in women is common but often goes undiagnosed due to lack of routine screening.

Adolescents may suffer from fatigue due to low iron levels, not just late nights on social media.

Menstruation significantly increases the risk of iron deficiency in teenagers.

Iron deficiency is commonly overlooked in routine health screenings, affecting many women, especially those of reproductive age.

Iron deficiency causes may not just be linked to low iron intake, but also factors like impaired absorption from conditions like celiac disease and intake of substances like calcium, oxalates, and tannins.

Iron deficiency is a significant global issue affecting a large percentage of women, particularly during pregnancy.

Complexity of iron absorption and dietary methods must be understood beyond social media suggestions.
