What is the best iron pills to take?!


Question: What is the best iron pills to take?
I am not anemic but I went to the dr's in June and the nurse took my blood and said that I was 1 point above not being anemic. I still consider that is having low iron though, so I was wondering which iron pills are the best to take for low iron and how fast will they work? I am going to MEPS (Military Entrance Program Station) soon and I don't need any set backs like this

the FERROUS kind..there are different types.

When I was anaemic that was what my doc prescribed. Not always over the counter.

To me Floradix is way too expensive..sorry !



Floradix, a liquid iron supplement, is one of the best choices. Because it is comprised of whole food/herbal sources of iron, it is more easily absorbed by the body and will not cause digestive issues frequently associated with other supplements. Most iron pills are not readily absorbed and can also cause constipation. Best wishes with your MEPS!
