Iron supplements?

Do Iron supplemrnts all contain other ingredients? My doctor only mentioned
taking Iron pills due to my low hemoglobin. My B12 is fine but I am deficient in
Iron.

What is the recommentd strength and how often per day.

Martin Siegel

I recommend Iron Plus C Complex. The vitamin C is added for better iron absorption. Also the iron is plant based, so there will be no problem with possible constipation. One tablet daily is recommended.

Hope this is helpful and feel free to contact me if interested in the website.

Most Iron pills do have other minerals and vitamins in them, because iron is too hard to have in a pill alone. Try something with high percentages of iron.

Check out the nearest GNC or pharmacy and read the labels. You will find the one that is right for you.

Just as a site note, you may want to take one with a stool softener. Not to be too gross, but taking iron supplements can cause constipation.
