have green leafy vegetables. if your planning to take any supplements or drugs for this its better to take with empty stomach which will improve the absorption. and also for some people if they take iron medications with empty stomach they will have side effects like gastritis, nausea etc.., and its totally depends how your body is adopting to that particular supplements.
