Most people on LC diets eat alot of red meat, and as was stated green veggies. Spinich and broccoli are great iron sources as I remember. If you are only getting about 35% and you are making sure to enter everything you eat and the proper weight, then it would be ok to have a multi vitamin that included iron. Just be sure you aren't using defaults of 1 oz for portion sizes on meats Eat your veggies too, not only for iron, but many other nutrients and antioxidents. It is always better to get vitamins from foods isntead of suppliments as they are absorbed better and found in specific combinations. There are also many substances that can't be made in the lab yet. If your short on something, such as iron, then suppliment.
If your iron is really low, how is your protien? You need to make sure to have adiquet protien so your body doesn't begin to break down muscular tissue to meet it's needs.
