My Cousin
My cousin was hospitalized because there was a lack of iron in his blood. His parents decided to give him iron supplements to put more iron into his system. The book says, "Some supplements might help you get adequate amounts of essential nutrients" (11). -
The Doctor Warned Them
Their doctor told them to be cautious with the supplement and only to give my cousin a half a pill a day. The book says, "Always be alert to the possibility of unexpected side effects, especially when taking supplements in higher amounts" (11). -
A New Drug Was Found
The FDA just recently passed a new drug in order to create more lasting amounts of iron in my cousin's blood. This new drug is very safe and has been tested a lot by the FDA. The book says, "The FDA has established quality standards for dietary supplements to help ensure their identity, purity, strength, and composition" (11).
