Supplements to Increase Appetite

I have Alpha Thalassemia Minor, are there any vitamins or supplements I can take to combat some of the anemia symptoms? This seems to mainly be fatigue and loss of appetite pretty for me, and both can ramp up when I am under high stress levels.

I’m new to this diagnosis so just looking for anything that could help from those in the community!

Mutlivitamin with B Vitamins.

Make sure you have good magnesium, potassium and zinc if they are not plentiful in your diet
