The iron in them when they are removed is recycled to your blood for the new cells.

People who get injections of B12 often report fatigue in between shots however. That is why using oral high dose is more like nature intended and does not give the wild swings in concentration that the injections do.
The iron I have been taking was Vitron C. It is a combined Iron and Vitamin C tablet for high absorbancy. Could it be the Vitamin C that has been having more of the effect on my daily energy levels than the iron then? Each pill has 125mg of Vitamin C and 65mg of Elemental Iron.

Sorry to keep asking questions, just trying to understand what my body is telling me. And right now I recognize that you MrsD have a heck of a lot more understanding of supplement than I could ever dream.
