Iron Anemia

[Maximus14]

So turns out on my last batch of blood work my ferratin level was 14, my doctor wants me to go on an iron supplement.

Is there anyone who has or is anemic and has a recommendation on particular supplements that have worked for you

My diet already includes green vegetables brocolli green beans, red meat, and eggs, sweet potato and white rice.

All insight is appreciated

Be very careful with iron supps...Eat high iron foods and take with vitamin C for better absorption. BUT again, be careful with iron supps....

Meat, meat and more meat, with a couple grams of vitamin c.

Additionally spinach has the most iron! Here’s a helpful link.
