Re: new labs - feedback? Jamy

[Guest guest]

Jamy,

I have mostly been taking Solgar's Gentle Iron, which is 25mg iron

bisglycinate (supposedly much higher absorbed than ferrous sulfate).

I also have taken Feosol, which has 65mg elemental iron (and

says " dried ferrous sulfate 200mg / 65mg elemental iron, eequivalent

to 325mg ferrous sulfate per tablet " ). Each product recommends one

capsule/tablet a day.

Thanks,

You should be taking at least 650 mgs a day of ferrous or the Feosol at 2

times a day. The package is not talking about people like us. I had to take

3x a day to get my levels up, but yours are twice as high, so I would do the

2x . Go to www.goodhormonehealth.com and look up low ferritin.

Thanks, Jamy. I take it that the Feosol is as good as any other

source...I will try what you suggest for 2 months and re-test, to

see how it's going.
