Some other iron deficiency symptoms..do you have thes yet?
Hair falling out easily..like lots in the shower drain?
Heart palpitations on exertion ..
Shortness of breath ..
Fatigue ..
Does this sound like you?BTW Ferrous fumarate and ferrous gluconate are a somewhat better choice as an iron supplement than
ferrous sulfate,in spite of the fact that many physicians and pharmacists still recommend it.However if it is all you can get..perhaps take a VITE capsule or some antioxidants with the tablets.
If your iron tablets don't have VitC included..take some VitC too with the iron. This helps absorption of the iron and will help provide some antoxidant protection in your stomach perhaps.
Even cooking on an iron hotplate or frypan/skillet will help get those iron levels up.
