Interactions with Dietary Supplements
Iron
Stanozolol was associated with iron depletion in a group of 16 people.1 The results
suggest that people taking this drug on a regular basis have their iron status monitored by
the prescribing doctor. There is insufficient information to recommend routine iron
supplementation during stanozolol treatment.
