I'm in a similar situation. My doctor told me to take Hemiplex. It has a high amount of daily iron in it but also has vitamin C and B-12 mixed right into the pill. I take it right before I go to sleep so I don't interact with other foods (milk, calcium, and caffeine can all decrease absorption). https://www.amazon.com/NaturesPlus-Hema-Plex-Sustained-Release...
