Abstract

Iron tablets act as iron supplements. Iron is a mineral needed to form red blood cells. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia. Anemia is a disease caused by a lack of hemoglobin (Hb), which occurs when red blood cells are insufficient to supply oxygen to tissues. This systematic review aims to systematically examine the benefits of iron tablets for adolescents. The research method used was a systematic literature review sourced from PubMed and Scopus databases spanning 2014-2024. Six articles analyzed revealed that iron tablets are beneficial for adolescents in increasing blood hemoglobin levels and preventing anemia.
