So I guess I'm getting way too much iron. Should I not take a multivitamin? What happnes when I get too much Iron?


Answers:

If you are taking a multivitamin with a normal amount of iron in it, you are fine as is. If you are getting a little bit of an overage, your body will just purge it out, provided it is working properly, and you'll be well set if you have to donate blood.
