> Bluedog, you should, well everyone should with your symptoms look up hemochromatosis and get tested.
>Jaynee, forgive my ignorance but could you possibly explain a little bit more about this condition? I would normally do my own research on such matters but I'm not having such a good day today and simply don't have the energy. I hope you don't mind?

I found it exceedingly difficult to find well balanced multi-vitamin supplements without iron or copper. In the end I settled for a well balanced multi-vitamin supplement with a relatively low level of iron in it (also the supplement is in a slow release tablet and releases the nutrient over an 8 hour period). To save you looking up my previous post again, the amount of elemental iron in my daily supplement is 5mg ( as 15.3mg Ferrous fumerate ).
Do you think this level of daily iron would be doing me any harm?
Thanks
