Silent Signals: Are You Tired, or Is It Iron Deficiency?

Oral Iron Supplementation
The first line of treatment is usually the use of iron tablets or capsules. These supplements must be taken according to a doctor's instructions. For maximum absorption, it is best to take iron along with Vitamin C (such as a glass of orange juice). Taking iron simultaneously with calcium, tea, or coffee can reduce absorption by up to 50%, so a time gap must be maintained.
