Iron is a mineral that’s normally found in foods like red meat. In your body, iron is part of hemoglobin — a protein that carries oxygen from the lungs throughout the body and helps muscles store and use oxygen.
Multivitamin with iron is taken to provide vitamins and iron that you don’t get through diet alone.
It’s used to treat a vitamin or iron deficiency caused by different conditions, including poor nutrition, pregnancy, blood loss, digestive disorders, and other health issues.
This supplement is available as both an over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medicine. OTC products have lower amounts of iron than prescription forms.
It’s best to discuss the type of supplementation you require with your doctor.
