Guest guest Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 My daughter's naturopath ordered a basic nutrient supplement (Thorne Research) for my daughter which contains iron (I didn't know until I picked it up and I have told her about the legal & illegal supplement such as cellulose, glycerine and things like that but didn't give her the list for legal & illegal foods to take). My question is, how dangerous is it to have iron supplement (as Iron Picolinate 0.75mg per capsule and she is allowed to take up to 3 capsules a day (12.5% DV for 3 capsules). I don't really want to waste ít as it looks so good and very high in B12 vitamin, but I don't want to take a risk for my daughter either. I have asked my daughter's GP, he told me that iron supplement can cause inflamation in the intestine but he said it is okay for her to take it (it is probably because of the blood test result??) 27 Jul 2007, Iron Studies Iron: 16 umol/l ( 5-23 ) Iron binding capacity: 40 umol/l ( 38-76 ) Iron saturation: 0.40 ( 0.10-0.42 ) Ferritin: 77 ug/l ( 12-140 ) She took half capsule this morning but I prefer to wait until I get answer from the forum. Please help, I can't make decision whether it is safe for her to take this supplement. thanks.
