Your favorite iron supplement?

I have never taken iron but after this move and all this reshuffling at work I feel completely drained. How much iron should I take daily - better start slow and see if it works. I have looked at Pure Encapsulations which is a decent brand for most items but like to see what you all prefer.

I have to take full blood count at least once every three weeks. So it’s quite easy to see that these iron supplements do work for me.

I take "iron bisglycinate".  it's a specific molecular form.

after doing iron labs, my dr had me on fairly high numbers.

 

Pretty sure that's the form that I have. I use Thorne and my labs post-gastric bypass have been good.

Are you sure iron is what you’re drained of?  I might take a multi vitamin and multimineral with iron rather than just iron.  

 

 

Not sure at all but I am taking quite a bit already, like Omega 3, magnesium, B12, grapeseed extract, enzymes and my Naturethroid. Today, I could have napped all day. Maybe another day off and a good night's sleep will help as well. I figured a low dose iron boost may not hurt.

I also had a wipe out from low potassium at one point. 

 

My potassium, calcium, protein was on the low end of standard range on my comprehensive metabolic panel tests. My oncologist prescribed potassium supplements.
