Ruchi jainGuardian of 2 children6 months agoA. if you can add iron in your daily diet like spinach , soya, tofu , etc..you don't have to go for supplements.. I did this to my diet chart as I am allergic to many medicines, so I used to avoid them.

Sadhvi mehrotraMom of a 9 m old girl6 months agoA. Iron is best absorbed on an empty stomach. Yet, iron supplements can cause stomach cramps,nausea,and diarrhoea in some people.you may need to take iron tablets with a small amount of food to avoid this problem.
