From my understanding, if your anemic, your iron levels are low- So taking iron would help- I’ve taken that here and there but generally I do not need to because I eat dark greens atleast 3 times and week- and a large amount of veggies as well as a steak once a week? I do not eat meat everyday however you need to repair your iron levels so your body has oxygen-
Many things can interrupt your body’s iron- calcium for instance... too much can block the iron- A blood specialist or even pcp can help you.. you should always seek follow ups to make sure your iron level is ok
