Bluebonnet 27mg chelated iron - How much can I take?

[cario]

Does anybody have advice as to how much it is OK to take of this? My ferritin levels were 13. I have been taking two capsules with vitamin C daily but wonder if I could up this to twice daily? Thanks

Hi, I made this mistake a few weeks ago.

I started taking iron Bisglycanite (20mg 1 a day recommended ) as I was feeling so rubbish I took 6 a day for 2 weeks , I felt really much more energised after 10 days then started getting palpitations - this happened following an iron infusion last year so I guessed it was the same.

I dropped dose back to 1 a day and now feel ok and have more energy, I guess you can't rush these things.

Hi, that is interesting. Thanks for that, very helpful. We shouldn't be having to do this on our own should we !? I'm so desperate to start feeling better, but it does seem with iron you can't rush it like you say.
