Which is a good iron supplement?

Mayo Clinic lists and approves several options for effective oral iron supplements including Auryxia, Bifera and Elite Iron. The complete list of proper iron supplements is available on Mayo Clinic's "Drug Supplements" webpage.

Although iron supplements can be effective in helping the body to produce red blood cells, it is important to avoid relying on these supplements and to maintain a balanced diet, truly granting the body all of the iron it needs, says Mayo Clinic. One can attain the necessary levels of iron without supplements by eating lean red meats, cereals, beans and some vegetables. Iron supplements come in tablet, capsule and liquid forms.
