Pam asks where to get iron

[Guest guest]

Sorry, Pam, I meant to say that . . .

They are OTC, available at VitaLady.com. The carbonyl iron is tablets that can

be swallowed, chewed or sucked. Polysacc is caps.

Big diff. tho . . . 6 carbonyl = 1 polysacc dosage wise. I believe th carbonyl

is only 25 mg.

Subject: Re: Cindy asks about iron

<<Carbonyl Iron, Polysaccharide Iron . . . Best. Least constipating.

I

take 2 150 mg. caps of Polysacc everyday, and have no problems with

constipation, or tarry poop, or any of the other side effects of iron

supps.>>

,

Are these by prescription only or can they be bought OTC? If so

where

can I find it. I just found out today that my iron is at the low end of

normal and I want to head it off at the pass before it gets too low.

TIA!

Thanks ! I really appreciate it. I have a really hard time with iron.

My fumarate (GNC brand) constipates me so I don't take it everyday like I

should and my bloodwork is starting to show it. The Polysacc doesn't

cause constipation? With you taking two a day what are your iron levels

looking like on your labs?
