Haematinics are substances that aid in the formation of red blood cells and are commonly used to treat various types of anaemia. Haematinics, which come in a variety, such pills, capsules, syrups, and injections, are frequently used in human health to treat anaemia. Iron and folic acid are essential haematinic that are vital to avoid neural tube malformations and other congenital abnormalities, particularly during pregnancy. Both iron, folic acid are Vitamin B12 contribute significantly to haematopoiesis, and deficiencies in them can result in diseases such as macrocytic anaemia. Furthermore, red blood cell production depends on the regulation of methyl production and cell division, both of which are mediated by vitamin B12. Haematinic deficiencies, including iron, folate, and vitamin B12 deficiencies, can cause disorders like recurrent aphthous stomatitis, which impair the body's capacity to carry oxygen and cause problems with the oral mucosa. Haematinics play a crucial role in many physiological functions other than the formation of blood. Heme, for example, has been connected to thrombosis, suggesting that it plays a part in the coagulation process. Understanding how different types of haematinics work in the body is vital for their effective use in clinical practice. In this review information were sorted from PubMed, Google Scholar, Tailor and Francis, MDPI, Springer, Nature, BMC and some other related data. This review gives detail update on the significant roles played by haematinics in haemopoiesis, their limitation and the side e ff e c t s a s s o c i a t e d w i t h h a e m a t i n i c s supplementations.
