Scott—
Thanks so much for the feedback. I should’ve mentioned that I am vegetarian (I do eat fish though) for environmental reasons, which has probably been a factor in the low iron issue. The iron I am currently taking is liquid ferris gluconate, but I came across a brand that offers “36 mg of elemental iron per capsule‚ plus the active forms of folate and vitamins B6 and B12.” Would you suggest that over the gluconate? I think my main hesitation is with trusting unknown brands, as I know supplements tend not to be FDA approved and can sometimes be not entirely reliable. Are there any brands you would recommend? Additionally, for the full iron panel you suggested— with my original test I got a blood count which was in a normal range— not sure if that is significant?
