Experiences with

Ferrograd

I was on ferrograd and vit d supplements until about 9 weeks ago. I wasnt told to stop taking them but I had bloods done to check levels 12 weeks ago and after a week I hadnt heard anything and was in for b12 jab so I asked for a print out.

I used to take Floradix and my iron was over midrange on it, then took 60 mg Actiferol (ferric pyrophosphate) in powder from the pharmacy for couple of months and a month ago I started ferrous sulphate 105 mg called Ferrograd. I can't believe how much it has dropped.

Could someone clarify please if Ferritin is the same as Ferrograd. I have been using Pregabalin 175mg for about a year and find the effects of minimising RLS symptoms have now worn off and I am experiencing full blown symptoms again now at times, not always, but at times.

I have constantly taken iron supplements - ferrograd C now for over one year and no improvement(see attached results) so I will be getting my first iron infusion on Thursday. I am really hoping my energy levels and leg pain will improve, I feel horrible every day atm.

To be fair I never had to think about it cos both were always low for me 😆 I’m surprised with such low Ferritin as I have been taking Ferrograd that has been working well for me the last two years.

In Australia I used to take Ferrograd C with fantastic results. Is there an equivalent here? I haven’t come across it. Ferrograd: Each tablet contains: Dried ferrous sulfate 325mg (equivalent to 105mg or elemental iron) Sodium ascorbate (equivalent to 500mg or ascorbic acid Vit.C). Thanks!

I have ordered Ferrograd C and then read mixed reviews on here. Then I read a great paper by Hellvella (I think) talking about Ferrtin from iherb. That gets great reviews. I am minded to order that.

I take Ferrograd C daily which doesn't seem to be making a damn bit of difference. Is my life going to be infusions from now on? Has anyone had similar issues? My doctor is testing me for Coeliac disease although I don't think it's the cause, as I have no gastro issues.

I am on day 4 of taking above meds, am also on ferrograd C for anemia. Side note: my boobs are massive and painful. Just wanted to see if anyone else has had similar experience, and if anyone has any advice.

done a request for iron panel yet, my ferritin levels are still dire at the very low end back at the end of summer and 3 weeks ago had started on a liquid blueiron for 3 weeks but had to discontinue due to a rash taking it and so i have a appointment nxt week with gp for a prescription hopefully for ferrograd

I have to take the following; selenium 400mg Biotin 5mg (I think) Vit B x 2 and B12 x 5000mcg Zinc 30mg Omega 3 GLA MSM methylaulphonymethane Ferratine and vit C in one tablet (ferrograd c 325mg ) Peptin (with protein meals) My question is; can I take omegas oil and gla oils with the other vitamins

So I am now taking Solgar vit B complex, 1000ug b12, dry vit E 400IU, ferrograd C tablets with dried ferrous sulphate 325mg equivalent to 105mg elemental iron and vit c as sodium ascorbate 500mg, Holland and Barrett selenium 200ug and zinc 15mg with copper. Higher nature vit c 1000mg.

Ferrograd C tablets each tablet contains dried ferrous sulphate 325mg in a controlled release equivalent to 105mg elemental iron and vit c as sodium ascorbate 500mg. I also have methyl cobalamin (vit b12) 1000ug. Do these doses sound right ? Do I need a general vit D supplement too ?

I take 300 mg a day of iron,ferrograd c. Serum B12 2000. I self treat. I can see the FT4 is low side. ( where does it go if it's always low despite moving thyroid up). I take 3 grains of nature thyroid. I only moved it up two weeks ago from 2 1/2 grains to the 3 grains.

The Ferrograd is just something I grabbed from Boots so wasn't a very informed choice. Thanks so much in advance - your advice is so valuable to us

My thyroid tests are grand at the most, but my ferrtin keeps dropping was 5.7 den 6.9 and now its a 5, no one seems interested doc wise and have told me to keep taking the ferrograd with vit c, wat is the best treatment for this does anyone know, or what should I be asking doc pls

I take Ferrograd without vitamine C. Thanks a lot!

Recently I've had alot of trouble with Ferrous sulphate, it just hasn't been agreeing with my stomach recently so my GP changed it to a slow release form called Ferrograd. I had some blood taken on Tuesday to see how things are going on Ferrograd.
