Got my blood work back, and it turns out my iron levels are on the low side, measuring 41 ugdl when it should be between 60 to 150 ugdl. Should I be worried about this, and what steps can I take to improve it?

Low iron levels can lead to anemia and other health issues if left untreated. To treat this, I recommend taking Ferrous Sulfate tablets. You can take Ferrous Sulfate tablets. It is important to take it on an empty stomach for better absorption. Also, include iron-rich foods in your diet such as red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and fortified cereals. Additionally, consuming vitamin C-rich foods or supplements can help enhance iron absorption. Regularly follow up with your healthcare provider to monitor your iron levels and adjust the treatment as needed.
