Information-finding skills It is sometimes more useful to know where information can be found than to have memorized that information directly, particularly in areas that are developing and changing over time. Undertaking a psychology degree involves a considerable amount of information-finding skill.
Iron supplements cause the stool to darken. Some people's stools will turn black. This is not a cause for alarm. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, this is actually a desirable consequence of taking iron. If the stool does not turn black, your supplement may not be effectively getting absorbed.
The iron is absorbed into the system soon after ingestion and should be taken with a glass of juice that is high in vitamin C to aid absorption. Monitor the color and consistency of your stool for any change. If passing stools is uncomfortable, take a stool softener or a laxative, under the advice of your doctor.
