Why Is My Poop Green?
9. Iron Supplements
Iron is a very important metal for us because it allows our blood to transport life-giving oxygen around the body to where it is needed, while it also helps in some other important bodily functions. The food that we usually eat has all the iron that we need but there are still instances where supplements are necessary. One example of where iron supplements may be necessary is in instances of iron deficiency anemia.
These supplements are generally harmless, even beneficial, but patients might experience unwelcome side-effects if they are not careful. Patients using these supplements might sometimes find that their poop turns green.
