Anemia affects one third of the world's population. The occurrence of anemia may be associated, among other things, with selenium deficiency in the body. When diagnosing a decrease in the level of selenium in blood serum in a patient with anemia, it is possible to additionally recommend taking one of the safest and most effective of selenium-containing preparations – SELENBIO for women complex produced by the domestic company Parapharm.
