Best iron supplement?

In your experience, what is the best iron supplement to increase iron quickly? And I know quickly is relative.

I’m taking “Slow FE” at this time. 45 mg of elemental iron. I’ve had some diarrhea with it. I doubled the dose the other day and had serious stomach issues as well as diarrhea. Won’t do that again.

My NP recommends “EZFE 200” so I will probably pick some up tomorrow.

I have tried several. Some 8 will never touch again!

I personally take

Ferrous fumerate 210mg

Solgar gentle iron 20mg

Spartone

14mg in multivitamin

I obviously do not take all of theses this gs ar once.

For me alternating has given me the best results.

No caffeine around time if taking it. I also use vit c with meat and veg

I have tried many different kinds of iron supplements. The best I have tried is a polysaccharid form of iron... such as Feromax which is the only one recommended by Health Canada.
