Question:

Are iron pill good for you?

My doctor says i have low iron so i bough iron pills.Are they good for you?

Answer:

WELL, YES BUT IT DOES DEPEND ON WHY YOU NEED IT.
Iron pills can be very helpful if you are anemic.They can also be very dangerous if taken in large amounts! They can also cause constipation.My advice would be to take recommended dose for a couple of weeks and then to change your diet.Drinking fresh orange juice can help if you are eating properly as vitamin C helps the body absorb iron. A simple sandwich of corned beef and sliced tomato is a great iron booster! And please keep the iron pills as far out of childrens reach as possible.
