TanıTedavi answer

Short answer: Many people can use these supplements, but given your low ferritin (10 µg/L) and low vitamin D (13 ng/mL), long‑standing irritable bowel syndrome, facial rosacea, and high stress, the safest approach is to discuss starting them with a doctor or pharmacist first. Why: Your lab results and existing conditions affect whether supplementation is needed, when to start, and how to monitor for safety. Some supplements can alter gastrointestinal symptoms or iron absorption; if you have impaired kidney or liver function there may be a risk of accumulation. Prescription medicines or other supplements can also interact.
