I already take an iron supplement or have a condition affecting iron metabolism — can I still eat this bar?

The product information lists clear restrictions. Do not use BEGEMOTIK if you have iron overload conditions such as hemochromatosis, or if you follow an iron-restricted diet for medical reasons. The bar delivers additional heme iron from black albumin, which adds to your total daily intake.

If you are already taking iron supplements prescribed by a doctor, or if you are pregnant, consult a specialist before adding hematogen to your routine. Combining multiple iron sources can raise intake above safe or necessary levels, and heme iron is absorbed efficiently even when stores are adequate.

Other contraindications: allergy to milk protein (the bar contains sweetened condensed milk), and diabetes — the carbohydrate and sugar content must be accounted for in your meal plan. The bar is not a medicine and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease. Keep it out of reach of small children and do not exceed the amount indicated on the package.
