Iron-What do you take

I'm approaching 5 months out now and I've tried several iron products none of which I've liked. Any suggestions.

I take the GNC women's iron complete.  That was what the sales rep recommended.  I have no idea if they work or not but they are easy to take.

And ever since Scott has been taking the "women's" iron complete, you can set the clock by when he starts his period every month!! 

What can I say?   The woman that suggested it was HOT!!!  How could I say no?

I like Bariatric Advantage chewable iron. 29 mg passion fruit flavored. Smaller amount in strawberry. I order through the Bariatric Choice web site.

Hello Gerald, Immediately after WLS, I began using Bariatric Advantage chewable vitamins (multi, iron, calcium, B12). Labs were perfect after one year but the cost was very high imo. After 12 months, I switched to good old Sam's Club version and my 18 month and 24 month labs were still perfect at 25% of the cost. They aren't chewable but they obviously do the job and don't upset my stomach. The moral of the story with vitamins for me anyway is to: 1) take the vitamins every single day  2) take them throughout the day - for me 4X a day ( take the multi, calcium, B12 and fish oil first thing in the morning and when I get home from work. Iron at lunch and before I go to bed)  3) take iron by itself since it will "bind" with other vitamins and lose their effectiveness; also try to eat a little something (cracker, etc.) with the iron since it will upset my stomach when I don't. More info than you wanted but no extra charge.

i just buy the Wal-Mart brand of Flintstone's chewable with iron.  That way I kill two birds with one stone.  I just am sure to take them at separate times than my calcium.
