That is what they have on my vitamin list. Where do you find the Carbonyl iron or the heme iron?I currently still take the Bariatric iron they started me on.

I use carbonyl. The brand is Sundown Perfect Iron. I get mine at the supermarket, at $4.95 for 200 25mg tablets. They're about the size of a baby aspirin.

There are many brands of carbonyl and heme iron. CVS carries them, and I'm sure other pharmacies do as well. I know Amazon does as well.

Some people need to take them, and others can get away with taking centrum for a while. I personally take bariatric vitamins because I'd rather not risk it. I read of horror stories when people don't take them, and I figure 20$ a month isn't much next to spending money in a hospital. I take Vita4Life Multi-Plus and I have been for 8 years now. I've had no issues and my labs have always been great. When I placed my order last week, I was told they're coming out with a chewable multivitamin without iron! I'm excited to try it. Good luck with your search!

Every single post you have made on OH has been to promote this particular vitamin brand. You don't happen to work for them, do you?

I'm a single mom of 2, so I am very frugal. I am 7 years out and take CVS brand vitamins for most everything and my labs are good. I'm guessing I spend around $20/month.

Doctor's offices want you to buy the expensive bariatric vitamins from them because they make money from the sale.
