Physiological

Blood Loss

- Genitourinary tract
- Respiratory tract (Rarely laryngological bleeding or from the respiratory tract)
- Blood donation

- Dietary deficiency
- Impaired absorption (Celiac disease, Crohn's disease)
- Intestinal malabsorption
- Gastric surgery

- Taking too many antacids that contain calcium
