May prevent and treat anemia

One of the most frequent nutrient deficiencies worldwide is a lack of iron. Iron deficiency anemia is a frequent disorder caused by a lack of iron in the diet. It is accompanied by symptoms such as weariness, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Turkey berry is an excellent source of plant-based iron and is frequently used to treat or prevent iron deficiency anemia. Although turkey berry has a high iron content, a current animal study suggests that it may not be efficiently absorbed in the digestive tract. As a result, there's no certainty that including turkey berries in your diet would significantly increase your iron status.

Pairing foods strong in vitamin C, such as strawberries, bell peppers, or citrus fruit, with plant-based diets, may aid boost iron absorption. However, no research has been conducted to determine whether this procedure improves the turkey berry's effectiveness to treat anemia.
