Bad to take too much iron, when your levels MAY be normal???

[ANDREW_J_I]

hi guys, if I were to take iron tablets when they might not be needed, is this bad?

I cant be arsed going to the doctor, my doctor is bald and has never cared and I dont think he really has much knowledge on the area. Good doctor though, dont get me wrong.

So if i were to take too much iron, what does this do?

They treat iron deficiency with 100%+ RDA. I guess you can take regular 100% RDA tablets.

if i didnt actually end up needing it, what are the effects of too much iron??

I would imagine it'd be more difficult for your heart to work properly.

Its an absolutely horrible idea.
