Iron needs, deficiencies and supplements

Question
Dr Zilberter,

First of all, thank you very much for volunteering on this site!

I have a very low iron level.   (I eat an iron rich diet but I may have some absorption issues).   

I抎 like to find the best but lowest dose iron supplement there is on the market.   Any suggestions?


Thank you very much!

Sincerely,


Pablo Durissimo

Answer
Dear Pablo,

I am not an expert in supplements, I can only advise you to learn more about iron deficiency problem and since you already use the dietary approach, to make it sure that you don't miss any food rich in iron. So, here are some links to read more:
