So my doc is having me take an iron supplement and wants me to do 325 mg 3/4 days a week. I have looked and can't find anything even close to that high of a dosage. Any suggestions? Thanks!

The iron that your MD is most likely recommending at 325 mg is ferrous sulfate, which contains approximately 50-60mg of elemental iron.  It's available OTC.  Your local pharmacist would be able to guide you, but you should really consult your MD if you are not clear on his/her recommendations.
