A member asked:
Are there lifestyle changes that really make getting iron overdose less likely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet: Iron is obtained from our diet. Under normal circumstances dietary modification is not needed. If you have hemochromatosis and you are unable to regulate iron absorption, then careful monitoring is needed.
