According to the World Health Organization, iron deficiency is the most common and widespread nutritional deficiency in the world, affecting people globally. So, which mineral prevents anaemia? The answer lies primarily with iron, a micronutrient vital for forming hemoglobin and transporting oxygen throughout your body.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), micronutrient powders (MNPs) are recommended for infants and young children aged 6 to 23 months in populations where the prevalence of anaemia is 20% or higher. These single-dose packets, often called 'sprinkles,' are designed to boost the vitamin and mineral content of a child's diet by mixing with semi-solid foods.
