A member asked:
I found out that i have anemia (iron deficiency kind). how quickly will i be able to get enough iron back into my system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: There are many different ways to get iron. Dietary iron will help but is probably the slowest method. Oral iron supplements can vary in their absorption but do work for most people. Also for those who dont respond to oral iron or need their iron improved in a hurry there are injectable and IV iron preparations which can be give. Ask your doctor which is right for you.
