Iron dosing question

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

My surgeon suggests Vitron C. It's an over-the-counter ferrous

fumarate with added vitamin C. Because this is a pill and in a hard-

to-open blister pack I looked for an alternative. I bought the

TwinLab Iron Caps, a chelated ferrous fumarate product which comes

in a small gelatin capsule.

But something's out of whack with the dosing information.

The Vitron C label says:

Iron (ferrous fumarate) 200 mg 365% daily value

The TwinLab label says:

Iron (from ferrous fumarate) 18 mg 100% daily value

If I wanted to take the TwinLab in an equivalent dose to the Vitron

C, how many should I take? Going by the % daily value it would be 3

or 4; going by the mg it would be 11. Ray Hooks, Curran,

anyone else, can you make sense of this?

What is the elemental iron? It WAS 65mg in those. I cannot find them on the

West Coast at all. When the iron thing changed in 1997, all the OTC iron

vanished for a few months while they repackaged or re-dosed. And those

never came back. That's what I started on, actually.
