      Pretty sure iron deficiency is treated with rust pills. Literally just powdered rust. And as we all know rust is just the “refined” product of iron with oxygen. That’s precedence if I ever saw it.

        No, iron supplements are not rust pills.

        Ferrous salts used as supplements by mouth include ferrous fumarate, ferrous gluconate, ferrous succinate, and ferrous sulfate.[3] Injectable forms include iron dextran and iron sucrose.
