text: im anemic...i was on 25mg of iron is it a big deal to change to 28mg? the store didnt have my usual 25mg of iron so i bought the one gentle on the stomach, 28mg...is that bad?? i asked a pharmacist and she said i "should" be fine you should be ok - keep monitered by your doctor, too much iron can be bad  if you have trouble absosrbing iron (most do) up the amount of vitamin c you take or take, vitamin c helps iron to absorb into your blood  i have taken iron in the form of ferrous sulfate 325mg - 3 times a day - under doctors orders - i wasn't anemic but my ferritin levels were low (iron storage protien)
