I will look into the liquid chlorophyll, too.

Oh, my D is low, too, so I might get their D3 while I'm at it.
Do you know if I would have to space them out?

Iron and D3 shouldn't interfere with each other.
Vitamin C helps iron absorption.

You definitely should be supplementing with iron- your body tries to preserve iron in your blood so if a deficiency is showing up in your blood, it's severe. Chlorophyll can help because it's a similar molecule to hemoglobin but it doesn't have any actual iron in it so you should take iron, too. If you take vitamin C (or even drink a glass of OJ or eat other high-vitamin-C foods) at the same time as iron it increases iron absorption.

Iron and calcium compete for the same absorption pathways. Calcium is the bully and wins. So don't take iron at the same time as high-calcium foods or calcium supplements or you won't absorb the iron as well. Too much dairy can decrease iron levels in two ways- with the high calcium and by causing GI microbleeding that depletes your body of iron.
