Information-finding skills It is sometimes more useful to know where information can be found than to have memorized that information directly, particularly in areas that are developing and changing over time.

Iron supplements cause the stool to darken. Some people's stools will turn black. This is not a cause for alarm. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, this is actually a desirable consequence of taking iron. If the stool does not turn black, your supplement may not be effectively getting absorbed.
The iron in your body is called elemental iron.. Oral iron supplements contain different amounts of elemental iron. When you choose a supplement, be sure to check the label to see how much elemental iron it contains; a greater amount means that more iron will be absorbed by your body. Although the supplements work best on an empty stomach, you may want to take them with food so that they don't upset your stomach. 2  You shouldn't take iron supplements with milk, caffeine, antacids, or calcium supplements. 3  These can decrease the amount of iron that is absorbed.
