While iron supplements are generally safe, they can cause several side effects:

  • Constipation or diarrhea
  • Stomach pain and nausea
  • Dark stools
  • Temporary tooth staining

Studies indicate that taking supplements with food can reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Slow-release formulations may also help minimize digestive issues. If side effects persist, consult your healthcare provider about adjusting the dosage or trying a different form of iron.
