[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...all that I know about iron is that it can affect a person cognitively if the levels are too low.

Too much iron is seriously toxic and is a cause of accidental poisoning (e.g. Children getting into vitamins containing iron).

Take your child to a pediatrician for a blood test if you suspect low iron- then follow your doctor's instructions.

A vegetarian diet that isn't well balanced could cause low iron levels. If it's an ongoing issue, you could provide a children s multivitamin with iron.

I wasn't planning to self-supplement beyond daily recommended dose without diagnosis of low-iron and instructions from a doctor.  I was simply asking if anyone had seen a difference with supplementation.  Your response is patronizing.  [/quote]

Oh good lord- you asked, I answered the best I could. I thought you were asking for a child- so of course I would be cautious and complete how answer.

People are so eager to offend or to be offended. It's ridiculous and exhausting. [/quote]
