Q: can i take a beef liver supplement and a iron supplement? the beef liver has a dose of 6 pills per day but im only taking 2 since im taking iron?

: Why are you taking both? or any? I would check CBC ( blood count) and iron stores to see if you are iron deficient and only take supplements if you are iron deficient and on a doctor's advice. You can land up with too much iron in your body " hemochromatosis" and that is not good Follow up with MD,
