Iron

[nettiboo1982]

Hello I'm just wondering how too take my iron its a chelated form and my doc has said I can take two capsules a day but what I'm wondering is can they be taken at one time I.e in the morning with orange or vit c Id rather not have too worry about them later in the day as ill forget. Also what form of vit c do people take?

I would take the separately if you possibly can - stick the second tablet in your pocket, perhaps. The body finds iron hard to absorb and it should work better split up. You might also have fewer side effects.

What sort of iron has been prescribed?

Nettiboo, I agree with Aspmama take them separately. Any vit C will do. I take 1,000mg chewable vitamin C because I don't like the taste of others.

Thanks as always. Can I ask how far apart should I take them like if I have one when I get up wait an hour have my brekkie normally a protein smoothie then could I have another before lunch? But how long after food should I leave it then after dose how long before eating again?

Nettiboo, I don't take iron so I don't know. If there is no direction on the bottle whether to take before or with food I would check with your pharmacist.
