Cautions
There is no need to supplement with iron unless lab tests show your iron stores are low. Iron acts as an oxidant, meaning that it in excess amounts it floats freely through the body and can harm tissue. It is literally toxic to the body when in excess. High iron levels can be fatal in children. In addition, high levels of iron will reduce zinc absorption and cause deficiencies in this mineral. Iron also prevents calcium absorption, and should be taken away from calcium rich foods and calcium supplements.
Side Effects
All iron supplements will cause your stool to become dark in colour, but some people may also experience side effects which make it hard to follow recommended dosages. An upset stomach and constipation are the most common side effects of iron. Slowly working your way up to the recommended dosage may help to alleviate these side effects.
