Iron fumarate (ferrous fumarate) is probably the best if it's available in your country.

Iron deficiency can be treated with an intravenous infusion of iron and one treatment is usually sufficient. Visit this site for info: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/14571-intravenous-iron-supplementation
