Hello, so I was recently prescribed an Iron supplement after going to the ER for some unexplained bruising. They did a bunch of tests and found out my hemaglobin was low and was prescribed an Iron supplement which was 325mg to take daily along with vitamin c. The thing is I had some trouble taking the pills and bought a multivitamin which I just started taking to make it easier to take since everything is in a single multivitamin especially since I might be low on other stuff due to a limited diet.

My question though is whether taking the multivitamin will be enough considering it only has 18mg of Iron vs the 325mg . Like will it just take longer to build the levels up or will they not go up at all by taking such a low amount?

Thanks.
