HELP LOW IRON!!!!

Take it with fruit or veggie. Citrus is the natural choice. But if you prefer, coupla apple slices will do it.

This summer at ASMBS, I heard for the first time ever that there is actually an iron to C ratio.

So, 200mg vit C per 30 mg (elemental iron). So, I take 300mg Tender Iron with 1000 mg vit C (and I take mine with copper)

Don't worry about that part. Get some vit C, ascorbic acid, never Ester C (you can take that later with something else if you want), and take them together,. Vit C is cheap, cheap, cheap, sold everywhere, chew it or swallow it, even pick a flavor. Iron wants some acid, hence the ascorbic acid and maybe some fruit.

I'm going to try that and see if it helps for my next blood test. I usually take my vitaminC tabs in the daytime and my Vitron-C iron at night. Taking them together makes sense though!
Thanks!

Just turbo charges the iron. We started on Vitron C back in the 90's and it didn't work so well for us. Hurt my pouch, didn't raise the levels. IN those days, it was also 65 mg elemental iron and we took 4, so nearly 300, just what I take today.

Copper also helps iron in, as so folic acid and B12. Don't know if you are taking any of those as separate issues, but you could take them near each other if you do.

Don't put the multi in with the iron, tho.

But today I take the 300mg in Tenders and numbers are holding steady now many years.

The way that we give iron when it is written with Vit C is for the iron be taken with orange juice.  Ask your doc first if this is ok. 

thanks for all the help guys, knew i could rely on you  :)
