Hi docs.
Please what is the right dosage for iron capsules and how often should one take it.

Also is it OK to take ones that have a combination of other vits since I don't have issue with my appetite? Or just stick to pure ion caps only?

Most importantly, what is the duration for taking iron capsules?

Thank you.

Cut

RedPhoenix:
Cut off carbonated drinks if you want to get results with iron buildup with your immune system.

I hardly take cabornated drinks. I only do fruit juce and yoghurt.

Are you saying I shouldn't supplement on ion?

Thank you.

Go

RedPhoenix:



Go on your iron supplement but follow all I said above. You can't just take iron only and expect desired results.


Are you preparing for a child if I may ask?

Ok. But how long can I be on it for? And what's the right dosage plus the IU advisable.

Nope not preparing for that yet. (Pregnancy)

Sustained benefits demands consistency. Six months is a good start

Wow six months Hmm.... Well, i haven't been religious with it but I recently wanted to be more consistent to get the full benefits.

The tgeydosing will be like 1caps a day? Since I'm going to be on it for a long period?

You'll need to be on it consistently to get substantial results

The dosage for iron capsules, actually depends on the age of the person that needs to take it. You can take it alone or take it with vitamin c, as vitamins c helps in better absorption of iron by the body. You should avoid coffee, milk and tea, they can cause iron to lose its nutritional value. But high dosage of supplemental iron may cause gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, diarrhoea, etc.

And it should not be taken when one is battling with some certain infections. Bacteria requires iron for growth; taking more iron when there is enough already in the body system, encourages the rapid growth of bacteria in the body.

Oh... I see.
Well, the only side effect I get from taking it is bloated stomach, which goes away as soon as I stop taking it. In fact that is what makes me stop taking it. making me not to finish the full course. Though now I want to take the full dose once and for all.

Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate.
