My surgeon wrote a prescription for an iron plus vitamin C tablet. They are supposed to work together somehow.

I've actually heard that before! The Vit C helps the iron along or something. Hehe

The "somehow" is that the C assists the body in absorbing the iron.

You will not likely ever get enough iron from any multi and will have to supplement with additional iron. I prefer Feremax as it can be taken with anything (no calcium restriction) and it doesn't cause constipation or stomach issues.

Thanks Karen! I had trouble finding the right iron supplement in the past, that didn't make me ill.

You and me both! Feremax is fabulous, Proferin is another good one (both heme irons so doesn't interfere with calcium). Both are available at Costco.
