I am in no way medically trained, but if an 18 year old male who isn't anorexic has anemia, they would 100% should NOT seek advice from idiots (me included) on a running website. You should 100% go to a doctor, get tested and have them advise on proper treatment.

But wouldn't taking iron fix the problem?

Only if you take it as a suppository.

No, because if you are an 18 year old male with anemia you probably have some serious health issue that is causing it. Maybe you have leukemia or I literally have no idea (because of the complete absence of medical training) but I do know I’d ask a doctor and not random runners on the internet. Plus I’d actually test it rather than just self diagnose because I’m slow it must be anemia.
I'd just take the multivitamin with iron, since there aren't many known side effects. Plus it's relatively cheap at $10 a piece. That's just my 2 cents though.

He never said he had anemia. Just said he might have low iron levels. Reading comprehension.

Or this, and my reading comprehension is just fine, but thanks for your input!

So would taking a multivitamin with iron just be fine?
Should I even get a blood test?
Does it have iron in it? Honestly ?♂️
