i would not recommend taking supplemental iron unless you are anemic or are instructed to so by your doctor. you may want to consider trying a good multivitamin which will have some iron in it. talk to your doctor about what would be best for you. taking high doses of iron when not needed can be dangerous but this would be very unlikely.
is it safe to take slow release iron tablets when not anaemic? . my gp did a blood test a few months ago as im always extremely pale and tired. she told me i was anaemic and should take iron supplements. i took them for awhile but they made me sick so i stopped. i was in the hospital last week and the bloods from there showed that i was not anaemic. im still very pale and tired i purchased slow release iron tablets to see if they would help. i was wondering if they could be dangerous to take when im not anaemic?
