I was wondering how fast an iron supplement would get into your blood?I‘m donating blood tuesday and I‘m afraid my iron won‘t be high enough, so I was wondering if I eat high iron foods and take the supplement, will it change the level in my blood for this tuesday?
Iron gets into the blood pretty fast, but if you take in a LOT most of it is going to leave your body as waste. It would be more efficient to increase the iron content of your meals all around than load up on supplements, but, as long as you're not anemic, a steak and a few days of vitamins will do fine.

Unless you have been completely depriving yourself of iron prior to taking the iron supplement, I doubt you will see much of an increase in blood iron content. Iron will get absorbed in your large intestine (takes less than a day for food to get into the large intestine), but it's not always fully absorbed, and even if it is absorbed, who is to say that your body will retain the iron? It's thought that your blood iron content is somewhat genetic. You're probably getting more iron than you need in your diet already, and your body is probably just excreting it or only absorbing as much of it as it needs. I would be surprised if you saw a drastic change, unless you're anemic or have not had much iron in your diet at all lately. If you're iron level is too low to donate, it doesn't even mean that you're iron level isn't normal.
