would love to be able to log and record my vitamins and supplements, I know I can add it to my diary but I don’t get to see how much Iron I’m taking for example.

Could this be added to the app at all?

    For any of the nutrients MFP tracks, you can create food entry for your supplement that has those nutrients filled in with info from the supplement label, and track them just as you would in any other food. Iron is one of the nutrients MFP can track.

    If you're not sure how to convert to the percents, this page (near the bottom) lists the amounts that are 100% daily values on nutrition labels.

    Yes, it's true that MFP won't track nutrients in a supplement if it won't track the same nutrient in a food.
