A member asked:
How shall an anemic feel if they forget to take iron supplements?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How long: If they miss a day or two nothing. If they stop all together they will lower their blood hemoglobin levels and begin to feel weak again. Iron only helps so much, if you have anemia you should get a real work up as to why
