What is the main reason to take it ? I know it's not to make things taste better.
1Tbs has 43 calories.
Do you know that 1 tablespoon is about 1 third of the RDA of Iron for adult men ?
The RDA is 10mg in Nutrition Almanac 1979. 1Tbsp is 3.2mg (ibid).
It's pretty easy to absorb iron, but very hard to get rid of it after you have it.
"Excess iron can accumulate in the body to toxic levels. Take iron supplements only on the advice of a physician."
