Ferrochel Chelated Iron Bisglycinate - Good for DSers?

I'm worrking on an Iron deficiency, and my prescription wasn't called in to the pharmacy, so I took mattters into my own hands at the Health food store.  This Ferrochel is a proprietary process of NOW Foods (also makes vites and herbals), and since I was told to take chelated Zinc for my deficiency in that, I was thinking chelated iron would be better absorbed as well.

Does anyone know about this?

Not sure. I know heme iron is supposed to be the best for us, then it's a toss up for carbonyl, polysaccharides and ferrous fumerate.

Yes, heme iron is the best, and I do love my steak and chicken livers, and other red meats, but there's only so much one can eat!

 Proferrin Es and Proferrin Forte are 2 that are heme iron. One is Rx the other OTC.

Herman-

I asked my PCP for Proferrin Forte prescription - it was not called in - what I'm doing is a stopgap until I can get in and have a "come to Jesus" with her regarding my DS care.  It may come down to my having to go to a gastroenterologist just to get the care I need. She was very good until recently.  I suppose I didn't have the  major nutritional issues going on that I do now, so she really didn't have to do anything.
