hey i'm aman whose been taking iron past 15 days (quit 2 days ago though). i was taking them thinking they'd make me healthier but i learned it's dangerous. I was taking 150% daily value for 15 days. I quit taking them. Should I be okay? Not going to lie i'm kind of worried after seeing how bad iron overdose can be. I was having no symptoms but now that i can't get the idea out my head i feel like my organs hurt. I was also taking vitamin e and zinc which i hear inhibits iron absorption. Someone tell me i should be okay please lol

Yes, you'll be fine. 15 days isn't enough to do damage.
Just remember that guys don't need supplemental iron unless they have a bleeding problems, such as from an ulcer. You get enough from your food.
You're ok!

15 days should not have any damaging effect so you should be alright. Keep in mind though that anything taken excessively is not good for anybody. Advertising agencies are very good at hyping things up so be very careful and always consult your physician before taking vitamins, minerals and herbal medications that you may not really need. We are easily persuaded by ads to boost our health, not having any idea of the damaging and side effects so, take care. Good luck.
