Too much iron can build up in your system and become toxic. the reason Atkins states no iron is most on the diet get plenty from red meats and so on.
I kept track of my nutrients using fitday, and found the only one I was constantly low on was iron. I get most of my protien from chicken and such. So I go ahead and take a vitamin with an iron suppliment. If it concerns you, check your diatary iron values using fitday and see where you fall. Maybe also talk to the nurse in your doctors office about getting regular testing for anemia (the nurse can do it, it doesn't have to be a full doctors appointment). You might find the multivitamin is enough and you don't have to take the iron one regulalry.
