Yes but: Nutrition in thalassemia is a complex area requiring the involvement of a team or professionals experienced in managing this condition with exquisite attention to detail. Supplements are often dosed based on lab testing as well as dietary content. Please ask your child's physician for the OK. This dose should be fine.
