How much iron do you guys get daily?  I take 2 chewables 2x's a day ... I get in 36g of iron a day.  That sounds low to me.  Just wondering what everyone else is taking!

Lemon Iron pills??

WOW!
Do you get it on-line?
Does it upset your tummy?
Is it a pill or a drink?

I wonder what we are suppose to be taking too.  I had low iron all my life, was only on supplements while I was pregnant.  I am going to ask my doctor when I go in for my check-up on Wednesday.  They said my labs 2 weeks ago were great, so hopefully Wednesday he can give me more answers on this iron stuff ;)

My bottle (which I bought at my local health food store) says to take one tablet and each tablet it 26 milligrams.  Also, take your iron 2 hrs after or before you take your calcium because they interfere with each other.  When you take your iron it's good to take it with vitamin C because that helps your body absorb it better.  :O)
