Wife bought me b-100 with amino acid blend, i usely take 2 a day, but this one has iron in it 9mg for 1 pill, so 18mg for 2, should i take?

Might be too much. : It depends on what type of iron it is. If it is elemental iron (pure form of iron), it is recommended that a male take 10mg daily and a female take 15 mg daily if over 18 years of age. This is to prevent iron deficiency anemia. I hope this helps.
