Should I take iron supplements? | You Deserve Well

Should I take iron supplements?

Only if a blood test shows you need them. Many women do run low in iron because of periods, and low iron can cause fatigue and poor recovery, but taking iron you do not need can cause side effects and is not harmless.

If you are unusually tired, short of breath or pale, ask your doctor for a blood test, including ferritin, before supplementing.
