Hemoglobin is the transport agent of oxygen in our bodies, crucial to bringing life-sustaining air throughout. Every person's hemoglobin requirement may differ depending on personal factors like age, gender and health history.  Generally speaking, men have a safe range of 13.5-17.5 g/dL while women typically fall between 12-15.5 on the hemoglobin scale.
