A member asked:
I don't have an iron deficiency that i know of. is it dangerous to take a multivitamin with 18mg of iron? i didn't realize i bought the one with iron.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not dangerous.: Iron supplements for women, in reasonable dosages, are not harmful. For men, there has been a link to heart attacks and so multivitamins specifically for men should not contain iron.
