If you have too much iron then no. Otherwise taking iron chelators can cause low levels of several electrolytes
Iron (III) ions form a deep-coloured complex with a maximum absorption at about 525nm; this complex is used as the basis for the photometric titration of iron(III) ion with standard EDTA solution.
Heating the KSCN Fe solution before titration with EDTA helps to break down any complex formations involving iron and potassium thiocyanate. This ensures that the titration accurately measures the amount of iron present in the solution by allowing EDTA to chelate with the iron ions more effectively.
Iron chelation therapy works by using special molecules called chelators to bind excess iron in the body and help remove it through urine or feces. This helps reduce the amount of iron in the body and prevent damage caused by iron overload.
Complexation reactions involve the formation of complex compounds by binding a metal ion to a ligand. Some examples include the formation of coordination complexes in metal salts, chelation therapy using EDTA to remove heavy metals from the body, and the formation of hemoglobin, where iron binds to oxygen in red blood cells.
The color tube for iron studies is typically a lavender or purple top tube, which contains the anticoagulant EDTA. This type of tube is used to preserve the sample for analysis of iron levels in the blood.
Although EDTA binds harmful, toxic metals like mercury, lead, and cadmium, it also binds some essential nutrients of the body, such as copper, iron, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.

Chelation is the process of binding an atom or ion with a chemical compound so that the atom or ion can remain soluble and loses its chemical reactivity. EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is one well know chelating compound. Its structure allows it to bind to metal ions, usually with 2 or 3 EDTA molecules bound to one metal ion. By binding to and surrounding a metal ion, EDTA keeps the metal ion soluble and isolated from other ions that it might normally react with.

Fe-EDTA is used in Murashige and Skoog medium as a source of iron for plant tissue culture. Iron is an essential micronutrient required for proper plant growth and development. Fe-EDTA provides a stable form of iron that is readily available to plants in the medium.

Excess stored iron in the body can be treated by therapeutic phlebotomy, which involves removing blood to reduce iron levels. Chelation therapy with medication may also be used to help remove excess iron from the body. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management of excess iron levels.
Iron complexes that are visible include iron(III) thiocyanate complex (blood red), iron(II) hexahydrate complex (light green), and iron(III) chloride hexahydrate complex (yellow-brown).

The oxidation number of iron in the brown ring complex is +2. This complex is [Fe(H2O)5NO]2+ where the iron atom is in the +2 oxidation state.
