u shouldn’t take iron if you don’t have a deficiency. it’s a pretty bad idea actually
is the source your arse?
it is fine to consume iron rich foods when you don’t have an iron deficiency. iron supplements don’t really work most of the time, except the iv one, that fucker works just fine.
you want to raise your hemoglobin? eat liver (cooked of course).
how much did you used to take in iron supplements? in mg/day.
several members of my family have a history of anemia, and supplements never worked that well for us (supplements are prescribed at 100mg pill once daily). the best thing we can do, is eat liver once a week or twice a month.
the page you linked to seems to be more about poisoning from supplements (it talks about consuming 4000+mg of iron supplements at once) and hereditary iron irregularity than it is about high iron level. also it states that excessive iron buildup from diet alone is not common.
of course don’t take supplements unless prescribed, but don’t shy away from iron rich food (unless told by you doctor).
