I've just had a full body checkup, and it turns out I'm right on the border with iron deficiency. When I checked online for solutions, I read that taking iron tablets, like those multivitamin ones, might not be the best idea. I'm a bit confused and worried about what's the best way to address this. Could you suggest some alternative treatments or advice on improving my iron levels naturally?
