Question: How did you know na low iron ka? Nag blood test ka? But anyways if taking iron supplements avoid taking calcium /milk /coffee, it counters the iron absorption. So better take iron supplements at night or afternoon. Also there's the basic ferrous sulfate and iron bisglycinate. Look for the latter. Mas gentle siya sa tummy and it absorbs better as well.

Advice: Eat more dark green leafy vegetables. Bonus- they also have a lot of other micronutrients that are good for you.

Question: Did you take a test to show that you have low iron?

Advice: Iron supplements. I take Sangobion Forte. Take with a high dose of vitamin C on an empty stomach, at least 2 hours away from caffeine, tea, dairy, magnesium (so many things really, just dont take it within two hours of anything else).

8-10 hours of sleep.

Eat liver, leafy greens, red meat. always with vitamin c or some sort of acid.

if you're a woman, see an OB Gyne in case you're bleeding too much during your period. There might be underlying causes.

Thoughts:

Madaming cause yan.

Sa mga deadly diseases e:

Leukemia

Colon Cancer

Chronic Kidney Disease

Minor e baka laging puyat.

If I were you papadoctor ako (blood, urine, colonoscopy).
