Re: Re: Those who are supplementing with iron Low Ferritin and Mods

Is it typical to turn stools black from Blyebonnet iron?

I used to take it all at one time after dinner, so it was away from my meds. I think it is recommended to split it up so that it absorbs better, but if you use the BlueBonnet form, iron bisglycinate, it is almost guaranteed to absorb. I got my iron from 20 to 90 taking it once a day, but it still took FOREVER, probably as I was so hypo and not on thyroid meds, so the iron wasn't sticking around.Kathleen>> Here they say 100 mg in two doses spread out in the day!

He suggested I take it as a single dose just before bed with 1000 mg Vitamin C (the idea is to take it on an empty stomach which contradicts what is stated on the bottle, which says take with meals). Has anyone compared taking their iron as a single dose on an empty stomach versus divided across 3 meals or divided in some other way? Would appreciate knowing what success others have had with different kidns of dosing schemes.> > Stan>

Val - doesn't that mean that the iron is being absorbed? Stan
