Question:

can i overdose on iron?

so i had coco wheats this morning and it has 90 percent of the daily iron needed in it and i ate other stuff with iron in it so if i go past 100 percent of the daily value can i overdose?

Answer:

haha its just a hypochondria the nutritional value of 90% is just the amount calculated considering ur absorption in 100%we usually only absorb 10% of the iron we take. and it also depends on other factors like acidic food will increase absorption while tannins in tea for eg will reduce it iron overload only happens when you took supplemental iron cause it contains elemental iron - 100% pure iron and in patient who underwent blood tranfusion regularly as in thallassemic patient - and it will be problematic only after about 15-20 of blood transfusion. so if u ask me will u get iron overload after eating large amount of coco wheat? the first thing u will notice if u take tooooo much iron in ur food is ur stool turn black ( only occur in iron supplement ) oo to make ur hypochondria worse - iron over load can cause cardiomyopathy + diabetes + skin pigmentation + stunted growth + delayed puberty + liver cirrhosis
You can, but I doubt you did. You should be fine I take vitamins that give about 200% average daily iron. They are not for everyone, can for children, can be fatal. I've had no problems in the 2 years of taking 1 daily.
It's possible to overdose literally anything, but it takes a lot to overdose on something like iron. You're probably fine. It's more common for people to not get enough iron. I would only be worried if you took a lot of vitamins that have iron in them.

cause they have their tires changed on the highway by a mobile tire truck, the mobile truck can put it on a rim for them
