Muilti vitamin with iron ???????

[DJFL77I]

It's impossible to find a men's multi vitamin with iron in it.. because men usually don't need iron..   

I was going to get Rainbow Light Mens Multivitamin...  But only the women's version has iron included..  everything else in it is basically the same as the men's version..

Is it ok if I just take the women's version since it has the 6mg of iron in it?

My Dr wanted me to take one with iron it...  My iron levels are normal but they were towards the lower end of normal which I guess is why he wanted me to take one with iron it.

I was going to take an iron supplement separately but they are way too high at like 35mg..

The  supplement industry  does not formulated products with iron for men nor post menopausal women.

Men do not require iron as they do not lose their stores like a menstruating woman does.

So.. I should or should not take one with iron?

This is a question you should ask your doctor. Likely he can also give advice on which one to take rather than posting queries about many very expensive ones.

You could also look into more iron rich foods like liver, as one example. You can do a search for iron rich foods to find others.
