Why do serum levels of iron increase during an infection?

Can I still take iron supplements even if my iron levels are normal?

  • My body's really odd..the first blood test showed really low iron levels. The two after that were normal. I never took anything to fix my iron levels. Anyways, I still have the symptoms of iron deficiency like yellow-ish skin, always tired, really dark circles. I've got iron supplements. Would it cause any harm if I took one a day? I also have folic acid ones. Would either cause harm if I took one a day? Thanks! :) x

  • Answer:

    You did not mention the levels , so i can't answer your question , the symptons you described can be cause of 100 other diseases

rather than supplement with something that is likely preserved with a plethora of other unwanted chemicalshite try increasing your calcium and vitamin C intake ....... both are needed for the effective assimilation of iron .... as is vitamin D3 (the sunshine vitamin)... so get 15 mins of safe sun exposure daily and drink green vegie juice or eat more green salad (rich in calcium and magnesium andpotassium and vitamin C). bless x

One iron supplement and one folic acid supplement per day is OK as long as that does not exceed the recommended amount stated on the containers. If, for example, the container suggests taking one tablet per week then it would be unwise to take one per day.

You can overdose on iron pills. Talk to he doctor who did the blood tests and ask them what you should be doing. A multivitamin / mineral is the best to take because iron needs other vitamins such as vitamin C to be utilized in the body...
