A member asked:
I am experiencing iron deficiency anemia. ferritin level is a 4. hemoglobin <11. is it ok to take children's chewable vitamins with iron?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: But the dose wouldn't be enough, adult multivitamins have enough dosing and different formulations, it won't be enough even if you double up, lots of green vegetables and fruits would help, best wishes
