Does Iron Supplements Cause Body Odor?
Does iron supplements cause body odor? My girl 6 yrs old was diagnosed with low iron in her blood work and she has been taking the flintstones multivit with iron, but i have noticed strong body odor in her underarms and urine. I also tried to eliminate foods producing body odor but not much help? Can the supplement she is taking be causing it? Please help

Hi,
Yes, any multivitamin and iron can typical smell in sweating.
Nothing to worry, this normal and unavoidable.
Give her plenty of water.
Ok and take care.
