It depends on how low your iron levels are. If you're under 9 you should take an iron pill. The best time to take it is at night, unless you have to take more than on a day. Slow Fe is usually recommended by most doctors. Also increasing your good foods, spinach and such with the iron pill helps the slow fe vitamin. Try staying away from beef and red meats as they may then throw your cholesterol off. But follow your doctors orders on the iron pill and you should get a check in a month or two.
