Those who are supplementing with iron Low Ferritin and Mods

[Guest guest]

My doctor has recommended 180mg iron per day to raise my ferritin. 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.

Here they say 100 mg in two doses spread out in the day! Maybe diner + bedtime.Sendt fra min iPhoneDen 5. juni 2010 kl. 23.38 skrev AltanS@...:

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.
