Would it be advisable to take iron supplements or multivitamins before and after donating blood?

It is not necessary to take iron supplements or multivitamins before or after donating blood. When you donate blood, only a small amount of iron is taken from your body through your red blood cells, but your body continuously stores iron in your bone marrow, liver, and spleen to ensure the production of new red blood cells after the donation.
