Always Consult Your Doctor Before Taking Iron Supplements
For example, if you have ulcers, intestinal disease or colitis, you may suffer more severe symptoms if you add iron into the mix without consulting your physician. Older folks may have a vitamin B12 deficiency which causes anemia, not a lack of iron. Are eggs and milk a regular part of your diet? These foods decrease your body’s ability to absorb iron. Do you consume coffee or tea on a daily basis? Taking an iron supplement within the hour, before or after, may wipe out the benefit of your iron supplement.
Other conditions which require strict supervision by your physician, before taking iron supplements, include kidney or liver disease, arthritis, heart disease, asthma and allergies.
