I'm dealing with iron deficiency and was taking Ferrium XT for it. But ever since I started, I've been breaking out with acne on my face. Do you know of any iron supplements that might not have this side effect of acne or pimples?

You can try taking Ferglow tablets, which are a gentle iron supplement that is less likely to cause side effects like acne or pimples. The recommended dosage is one tablet daily, but please consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I'm a 33-year-old woman and I've noticed a lot more grey hair lately. I have a 2-year-old and my grey hair issues started back in college, but it was minimal then. Now it feels like every short hair is grey and my longer hairs are grey just at the roots. I've been using Henna and indigo for coloring. Is there anything else I can do about my grey hair? Any advice would be appreciated.
