Is an iron supplement the same regardless of the source?

No, not all sources of iron supplements are the same. Some iron supplements contain a higher concentration of elemental iron than others. It is important to consider the type of iron you are taking and how well it is absorbed by the body. Additionally, it is recommended to take vitamin C to help with iron absorption and to avoid consuming dairy products, coffee, and tea around the time you take your iron supplement. If you feel that your current iron supplement is not effective enough, it may be helpful to speak with your pharmacist or doctor to explore alternative options.
