Are iron and calcium supplements recommended?

I am 34 years old and I am looking to start taking some iron and calcium supplements as the seasons are changing. Is it safe to have the ones available over the counter?

It is safe to consider over-the-counter supplements but it is also important to have your levels checked first, contact your doctor to have labs drawn to see if you truly need supplementation, if you have a well-balanced diet you may not need to take additional supplements which may cause constipation
