Re: Favorite Iron Supplement?

(Anonymous) 2015-02-08 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
From personal experience, most if not all pill-form iron supplements will cause some level of constipation or digestive issues. It's a mechanism of the iron absorption itself, because what happens is that despite the higher doses your body can only take in so much at a time -- the excess goes to the digestive system.

You can try the different kinds of ferrous salts (gluconate, fumurate, sulphate) and see which one works best for you -- they all have different levels of available iron, so the levels of excess your body has to deal with will be different.

I haven't tried it myself, and I'm not sure you can get hold of it (I'm in Europe) but some people say a liquid supplement called Floradix is much gentler on the system than the pills. It's got a lower iron availability, but something like that may be something you can look into?

...gentler on the system yes, Floradix used to be recommended for pediatric iron deficiencies. But it tastes awful. Mumblety-some years later I can still taste the stuff/recall the smell. *shudder*
