A member asked:
I fi eat lots of iron rich foods. should i still take a 65mg ferrous sulfate pill for anemia?

Only if still needed: If your blood iron level and blood count are in the normal range, you could assume you are getting enough iron in your diet and don't need to take an extra supplement.
