A member asked:

In one month my iron level went from 12 to 22 on iron tablets 325mg three tines a day, is this good? how long until my iron is back to normal.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not good enough : Taking too much iron is detrimental to health. Best criteria come from a normal hemoglobin and red cell count.
