It seems to me as though just about any woman I speak to as of late, with whom I have a somewhat personal connection, has low iron. I reference the personal connection aspect because I’m not exactly approaching strangers on the street and demanding to know their iron levels.
Men can also be low in iron, but women are primarily the ones who deal with this issue, among many others, if I’m being honest. I’ve been low in iron for most of my life, and upon having some bloodwork done in the spring, I learned it was lower than ever.
I should arguably stipulate that I am not anemic – that’s a whole other playing field, and I don’t mean to misinform anyone.
My mom recommended a supplement she has been using for a while now to raise my iron levels, and the stuff works. My levels have come up rather significantly since using this product, and you can find it via Amazon.ca here.
The following is a product description of this supplement from its Amazon page:
“Boosts Energy and Reduces Fatigue: With 26 mg of FoodState Iron per serving, this supplement effectively combats tiredness and boosts energy levels, perfect for women, men, vegans, and vegetarians needing a reliable iron supplement.

“Quality Guaranteed: Tested for 125+ herbicides & pesticides, certified glyphosate residue free, certified non-gmo, certified gluten-free, certified kosher, vegetarian, dairy & soy free,” the web page states.
I’m not a medical expert, but this stuff worked for me.
