I started taking iron this year and it was some random brand from my giant and I ran some solid pr's
Having iron levels that are too high are about as common as having iron levels that are too low. Why would you want to add even more iron when your iron levels are already too high?
Heme iron is probably the best on that list, but honestly the best source of iron is going to be foods. Eat foods high in iron and avoid eating foods that block iron absorption.
Also reduce the hard surface running like concrete and asphalt which causes some hemolysis. Try to supplement with grass or trails. If you're really desperate try running on treadmill.
Caveat to all this: Unless you have a vitamin or mineral deficit, then multivitamins equal expensive urine.
The kind that is already in fruits and veggies.
I prefer liquid iron and go with Jaguar 1 on this

Since most people eat poorly, I would suggest that multivitamins equal inexpensive dietary insurance.
