Comment:
Been taking 325 mg of ferrous sulfate and it has really helped a lot. Absolutely no negative side-effects. It has put more color into my face, improved my mood and sleep, and regulated my period. It has also improved my cognition and physical performance.

I have been taking one pill a day and also have 18 per cent of this drug in my daily vitamin. Is this too much iron and how can too much effect my body??? Can it cause harm to any organs?? Black stools is common, and constipation??? Should I quit my pill for 2 days and see if the black leaves and constipation leaves???? Jo Venter
