A member asked:
What is the best supplement to take for low iron deficiency ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any iron: There are different types of iron supplements on the market. Some may cause constipation so you might need to try a few before finding one that works best for you. Iron bi-glycinate is a highly absorbable iron that works well, especially when taken with vitamin c. Check with your doctor to find out how much iron you need.
