In the nutritional supplement industry, many claims are made for the superior absorption of certain, sometimes proprietary, mineral formulations. Drug stores and supermarkets, for example, sell chelated calcium and iron pills that are advertised to be absorbed better than cheaper non-chelated minerals.
Inother words, no problem! RDW refers to the variation in size if your red blood cells. A â¦ low RDW means that the cells are all roughly the same size. A high RDW means there isa high variation in the sizes of the cells and usually means a deficiency of iron and/or B12.f the RDW level is increased and the MCV level is normal. This can be caused by the beginning stages of a decrease in vitamin B12 or folic acid (a type of vitamin) in the body. It can also be caused by the beginning stages of iron deficiency anemia.
RDW is a medical abbreviation that stands for Red Blood Cell Distribution Width. It is a measurement of the size of red blood cells. RDW is routinely tested for during a Complete Blood Count, CBC. A normal RDW range for adults is 10.2 - 14.6. Expect normal RDW to vary from testing lab to testing lab. Low values can suggest anemia while high values are sometimes seen in liver disease and vitamin B -12 deficiency cases. An interesting fact about higher than normal RDW results is that it is a strong predictor of early death.
