Mine's Ferrous Fumarate, so I'm going to take it tonight (I held off last night, I was on my BB in bed).

I wonder if the liquid is better absorbed since it's already broken down? I see a lot of research about how the fe sulfate pills aren't absorbed because they require gastric juices to break them down but ... I'm no expert.

I'm certainly not against asking for something different I just want to find some research that says that the liquid doesn't work for DS'ers. I like research and studies.

Thanks. I'll digest this in-between my work calls.

I'm willing to try this because I know the pills weren't my friends. I was on 3 Proferrin a day (considered by most DS'ers to the be Rolls Royce of iron) and my ferritin went from 29 to 7.2 in a year on that dosage. I know I don't absorb pill form well which is why I'm trying this as an alternate.
