Reply To: Iron Supplement Prior to Testing

[Ryann Kipping, MPH, RDN, LDN]

Hey! Congrats, so exciting! This is definitely an individualized question. There is a brief section on iron supplementation in this note: https://new.theprenatalnutritionlibrary.com/iron/ (we will definitely be updating this one!), check some of the criteria such as previous issues with low iron, anemia, fatigue, etc. Testing will certainly help you understand if you should be supplementing or not!
