Hb - Haemoglobin

Haemoglobin is a protein found within the red blood cells and is a good indication of the blood's ability to carry oxygen throughout your body. Haemoglobin carries oxygen to cells from the lungs.

Haemoglobin delivers oxygen throughout the blood. May be elevated due to dehydration, elevated testosterone, poor oxygen deliverability, thiamine deficiency, insulin resistance. May be decreased due to anaemia, liver disease, hypothyroidism, exercise, arginine deficiency, protein deficiency, inflammation nutrient deficiencies (Vit E, magnesium, zinc, copper, selenium, Vit B6, Vit A).
