Have just found out I'm anaemic despite taking 1 ferrous fumerate tablet daily (I think it's 200mg). I've been advised to increase to 2 tablets but wondered if there's a better alternative in terms of absorption. I've never absorbed iron very well (B12 fine so not pernicious anaemia) and my highest ever yet result was 26.

Lolalois,
You can improve absorption of iron by taking each tablet with 500mg-1,000mg vitamin C which will also help minimise constipation.
