I have slight iron deficiency (30 y.o female) and I have been using iron supplements for half of the year now. didn't notice any difference tbh. had a blood test a few months ago and once the results came it was still showing slight iron deficiency.

also, I have been feeling less energized and sleepy throughout the day. I noticed that I crave more sweets and I have bigger apetite for the last 8-6 months. can this be related with iron deficiency? also, I am always crashing around 3PM, but I am sitting half day next to the computer since this is my work. I am active after work most days though

does iron deficiency affect our apetite and make you less energized is it possible to manage that?
