I am starting iron tablets and vit d tablets today. How long before they start to make me feel better?

TIA

My high dose vitamin d has me feeling better within a half day. The NYSE said there's no way it can work so fast, but, for me, it's that quick. For the iron, usually I feel the effects (less tired and run down) the next day or two.

I have never been anemic until right after my DD was born due to a big bleed delivering her. I took iron supplements and felt better 4 or 5 days later. Hope they work quickly for you too, it was a horrible feeling!

For the iron, around 3-4 days to start seeing results. However, it will probably make you constipated. My personal preference is for a prune or two a day to help the situation out.
