Q: my iron is low and my period has been on for several months now. im starting to feel really weak and tired what do i do?

: You should see a Gynecologist for a thorough evaluation because your period should not be prolonged like this. If you are not confident with your Doctor see another for a second opinion. Iron pills can cause constipation and iron from vegetables is not easily delivered into your bloodstream. The best delivery system for Iron is liver and beef.
