I barely recognize my energetic kid lately

My 5 year old has been unusually tired lately and it’s starting to worry me a little. He sleeps pretty well but during the day he just doesn’t have the same energy he used to. Even activities we normally do together, I’ll ask him to come play or do something with me and half the time he just isn’t interested or says he’s tired. We recently had some bloodwork done and apparently his iron is low. I’ve been reading through posts here and didn’t realize how much low iron can affect energy and how a kid feels overall. For parents who’ve gone through this with their kids, what did you end up doing and how did you make the whole process easier, especially getting them to actually take whatever you used consistently? Would really appreciate hearing what worked for you.
