Question:

what are the side effects of iron supplements?

I have to take 325mgs 3 times a day due to low iron. What can i expect?

Answer:

CONSTIPATION That's the same amount I take for my anemia. I take it once a day,now, but 3 times a day during my pregnancies. I take a stool softner everyday when it gets increased. Also, poop gets really really dark. I don't know how common this is, but I began to taste metal (I had an aftertaste of the iron) well after I took the tablets.
Too much iron can form iron plaque on your artery walls and clog them up like cholesterol. Hopefully 3 times 325 mgs a day is not enough to result in an iron overload and hopefully your arteries will not get clogged up with iron plaque.
like they said upset stomach and constipation. It's also to have something with vitamin c in it like a orange, to help absorb the iron
