Question about vitamin deficiencies.
Hello, so I was recently diagnosed with low iron, but I also suspect I am low on vitamins as well due to eating a limited diet these past several months and not having the best one before that either. After reading some reddit posts, I noticed that a lot of time when someone was low on vitamins or minerals hey would be prescribed a high dose prescription of whatever they were deficient of. When I was diagnosed with low iron I was given a prescription for Iron which was 325mg along with vitamin C which I had trouble taking due to sensory issues.. Recently though I started taking a multivitamin which includes iron as I feel it will be easier for me to take as it has everything in one pill, however it only has 18mg compared with 325 of the prescription stuff.
So my question is if there is any reason, besides it raises your levels faster to take a higher amount of the supplement. Will I still be able to raise my levels by taking the multivitamin even if it takes longer?
Thanks.
