Question:

I heard that iron deficiency can cause fatigue. Are supplements a good source to get iron?


Answers:

If you are worried about an iron deficiency, I would go to the doctor. If you are anemic, there are iron supplements you can take (BlackStrap is the brand I take) to help with the fatigue. But have your bloodwork done first. Too much iron can be bad as well. And your fatigue could be from something else, like a thyroid condition.

It wouldn't hurt to add some iron-rich foods to your diet. Dark green leafy veggies are the best (Spinach!).

Stay healthy!
