Question 1

I'm a 47-year-old man, pretty healthy overall, but I've noticed my hemoglobin level is on the lower side at 12.5. I love running and typically do a half marathon once a month. I'm trying to boost my iron intake naturally, but I'm curious about iron supplements. Could you recommend an iron tablet that could help increase my hemoglobin to around 15 in a month? And how long should I be taking it?
