A member asked:
Once my iron levels are acceptable,i would like to maintain it (diet isn't enough), shall i take 100 mg every other day? or a regular 14mg everyday?

And a size 14 frock?: I would neither presuppose to say what size outfit NOR what does of medications everyone would need. Both have to be measured and fitted. Iron stores measured by ferritin. Blood level of blood cells Amount of growing red cells are some but not even most of the measures one can do to assess how much iron someone needs.
