Question
is it safe for teenage boys to take vitamin supplements that contain iron?  if not why?  If so is ther a maximun limit that they should consume?

Answer
I do know that boys should continue with the iron until fully grown (21).  If they are vegetarian they may need to continue with the iron but should have their levels checked periodically by their family physician.  

Hope this is helpful.  You can visit me on the web at www.shaklee.net/integrativewellness.  I trust Shaklee for my family's health and wellness.  Best wishes,  Suzanne
