I suffer from mild anemia, and I‘ve noticed that since I‘ve started taking iron supplements, my bowel movements have been darker than usual. The frequency of my.washroom visits :D is still constant, but I‘m wondering if I should be concerned about the slight change in colour. Any opinions?
This is normal. When I got iron for my prenatal vitamins, the pharmacist told me about this and yes, when I would go to the bathroom, it would be darker than usual.
Iron supplements will do just that. It is the iron that your body was unable to absorb.
