You tend to feel tired when your iron levels are low. It can be verified with a simple blood test. If with food you cannot get your levels at a good range then iron supplements can be taken, but only if you first talk with your Doctor.
Be careful with taking too much iron because it has been linked to death.
You can find all forms of iron supplements in supermarkets and drugstores. Just look for the one that is best for you. A prescription is not needed.
Men and women who engage in intense exercise may have low stores of iron in their body. They need to take in more foods with iron and also vitamin C to keep it balanced.
The upper limit per day for adults and teenagers 14-18 is 45mg. The limit for children per day is 40 mg. Do not go over these amounts because it will cause iron toxication that will lead to death.
