FAQ's About Iron
-
What are the signs I might need an iron supplement?
Common signs of low iron include fatigue, pale skin, shortness of breath, dizziness, and cold hands and feet. If you suspect low iron, it's best to confirm with a blood test and consult your healthcare provider. -
When is the best time to take an iron supplement?
Iron is best absorbed on an empty stomach, ideally in the morning. However, if it causes stomach upset, it can be taken with a small amount of food. Avoid taking it with tea, coffee, dairy, or calcium supplements, which can interfere with absorption. -
Can iron supplements cause side effects?
Yes, some people may experience constipation, nausea, or darkened stools. Choosing a gentle or slow-release iron form may help reduce discomfort. Staying well hydrated and increasing fibre intake can also help with digestion. -
How long does it take for iron supplements to work?
Iron levels typically begin to improve within a few weeks, but it may take 2–3 months or more to fully replenish iron stores. Your healthcare provider may recommend ongoing monitoring through blood tests. -
Can I take iron supplements with other vitamins?
Yes. Vitamin C can actually enhance iron absorption, so some people take their supplement with a glass of orange juice. However, avoid combining iron with calcium or high-calcium foods, as it can reduce how much iron your body absorbs.
