Can iron supplements be taken after meals?

I am a little iron deficient, so I bought iron supplements to supplement it. Can I take this after eating?

    The iron can be eaten with food to reduce adverse reactions, but it will also affect the absorption rate; but if taking iron on an empty stomach can increase the absorption rate, it will also increase side effects. You can also choose when to take it based on your situation.
