What is the ok daily amount of iron for beta thalassemia traits patients, current ferrtin is 43 ng? is it possible to take a centrum energy or not, as it contains iron? this is due to the frequent deficiency of vitamin b12 and the inability to focus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About 60 mg of iron per day is usually stuffiest. Take it with food. If you get constipation on taking iron - You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Wish you good health!
