Btw Anam, with sample size exactly equal to 1 I wanted to let you know that your suggestions might have made a world of difference. Moreover, I think experimenting within safe limits with supplements might not be a bad idea. While my blood tests show I am not deficient in iron, I feel much better since exactly 1 week since starting iron supplements. Perhaps optimal iron intake is individual and/​or there are energy boost gains to be had at increments some, or perhaps even all the way from the deficiency criteria all the way up to upper limits? I also include a gram of vit c per day along with my iron supplement and also try to keep this away from caffeine intake.
