Iron saturation= 10 %. all else normal, no anemia. on supplements for vit b deficiency. do i need iron supplements to help with fatigue and rls ?

Anemia: Transferrin saturation of less than 20% indicates iron deficiency. Work with your doctor to address the cause of your fe deficiency state, and correct it as well as the fe deficiency state itself. Good luck.
