Dr Bod, my father is an ex-body builder and he used to take desiccated liver tablets and he brought some for me. We arent too sure if i am able to take them though due to me being 16. So my question to you would be am I old enough to take these tablets or should I wait till I am older.
Thanks for your help,
David
Dear David,
Thanks for your question - whatever your age, you should seek the supervision of your personal doctor / GP prior to taking such supplements, which can contain a great deal of iron, and therefore can lead to problems of iron overdose. Of course there are many benefits to supplementing with such products, especially if you have a deficiency in iron levels and have low blood counts (anaemia). To be safe, I would highly recommend that you see your doctor as soon as possible, in order to check your iron levels.
Don't forget to follow a good nutritional and exercise program, making the most of your body's natural tendency to gain muscle mass, considering your age. The BODY KIT MANUAL is an excellent source of information and advice on this.
All the best
Dr Bod
