Over the counter iron supplements are generally looked to help maintain iron levels, rather than treating someone with severe deficiency, like anemia.
Our iron glycinate supplement has been formulated to support iron levels in people who have not been formally diagnosed with anemia or chronic iron deficiency.
And depending on your blood results & how low your iron levels are ... your doctor may have suggested you take a 'behind the counter' iron treatment like Maltofer or similar, which provides high dose of iron, specifically to treat a diagnosed iron deficiency.
If you're unsure which type of iron supplement you should take, it would be best to follow this up with your healthcare professional who can understand your exact needs.
