Lower hemoglobin levels within the normal range linked to better metabolic health
Finnish researchers found that hemoglobin levels that are within the normal range but at the lower end may be beneficial for health, particularly for glucose metabolism and cardiovascular health.
Researchers at the University of Turku have discovered that a normal but low hemoglobin level in the blood can be beneficial, especially for sugar metabolism and cardiovascular health. Hemoglobin contained in red blood cells is a vital protein, the main function of which is to transport oxygen from the lungs to various tissues throughout the body.
