Iron Supplement

Can anyone suggest a good iron supplement. I take Centurm Chewable
multi-vitamins, liquid calcium and liquid b-complex, but am lacking in the iron
department and would hate to become anemic or something.

Thanks,

    Hi Jen,

    I take a chewable Iron supplement from Bariatric Advantage (strawberry
    flavor). You can order from their website, they have several products
    geared toward weight loss surgery patients (I have no affiliation with
    Bariatric Advantage, I just like their products).

    I take a flavored chewable iron tablet once a day from Bariatric Advantage. Buy
    it on line. I like their B12, calcium (cinimon) and iron. Did not like their
    multivitamin.

    I buy the carbonyl iron from www.vitalady.com
    It’s chewable, too, and not very expensive, as I recall. I take it with a
    chewable vit c. (you need to take iron w/vit c, and separate it by at least
    an hour from grains, dairy, etc.) Calcium will block the receptors on the
    cells, so you won’t absorb the iron, as I understand it, that’s why we take
    it alone.

    Thanks, everyone! Just ordered a supply from Bariatric Advantage. Found myself
    a better calcium option too. If you haven’t been to the site, check it out at
