Would it be safe to take 1, 170 mg of slow release iron supplements at once?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sort of but...: That dose is not toxic, so in that sense it's safe, but iron supps are known to cause stomach upset and constipation & such a high dose may well cause those side effects, so i advise against taking so much at once!
