Also telling people to take iron supplements when they don't need to is stupid. If they take too much, which is easier when they have normal iron levels, then they can be at risk to iron poisoning.

Don't ever become a doctor, please.

You don't get a prescription for iron supplements, they're at the store. Even if your iron level is normal you won't overdose from taking a daily mineral supplement as directed. They put iron in kid's flinstones.

And yes iron supplements will keep the thyroid from slowing down if you're lacking.

You don't need a prescription, no, that doesn't mean it poses no danger. You don't need a prescription for acetaminophen/paracetamol yet you can still OD easily or at least take enough to cause damage.

If they don't need iron supplements, there's no point in taking them. You don't just take it for the shits and giggles. If you have a normal iron level adding more does nothing because there is only a certain amount the body can metabolise within a specific amount of time. Usually people who feel fatigued, pale, etc, go to their doctors with those symptoms and they get diagnosed as anaemic, and then the doctor tells them to take such supplements. They don't just take it from their own accord because they feel like it.

No, it won't, and even if it did, "if you're lacking" is crucial. If they were lacking they probably would have seen their doctors presented with anaemia and then iron supplements would be needed. As I said, for a normal person taking iron supplements does fuck all, and won't help with them being cold. They should just put on some warm clothes.
