liquid vitamins with iron

Has anyone ever tasted or had to take liquid iron? I have low iron and since I don't take pills I have to do liquid..

Yes but flitstones end up with about 10mg extra of iron so unless your iron is low I wouldn't recommend it unless you get constipated. Trading you guys liquid gel prenatals solve all your problems.

I switched to liquid iron supplement as the iron tablets made me feel ill, and constipated

I have read on this forum that Vitamin C aids iron absorption. The liquid iron I take has Vitamin C in it as as a B vitamins. When consuming foods with iron how does one know what to consume that contains enough vitamin C to help the body absorb the iron? I am a vegetarian with hypothyroidism. I am not on thyroid medication. I understand iron is important to thyroid function. I'm trying to support my thyroid by increasing my ferretin (iron). My iron stores are reduced.

I have to take my iron with breakfast or I get sick from it. Try taking it with food and then see what happens.

-) very gentle on tummy bc they are liquid gels and my pb was very happy and impressed with my choice on those she said they are a great brand :-)

Also, do I need to also take b12 vitamins along with the iron supplements? My mother seems to think so, but I have no idea why I would? Thanks!

I don't take liquid vitamins but I still use chewables. The BEST ones I have found for me are the "Children's GUMMY multivitamin". They're called up&up (I bought them at Target). 4-6 a day and it figures out to the daiy requirements for adults. I tolerate the sugar content in them (2 gms for 2 gummy bears) and I had my surgery 9 months ago. I've been taking them for the past 6 months at least.

I love my nature made liquid gels with dha and omega-3. Very easy to swallow and no nausea problems very important fir me as solid vitamins make me puke regardless if I've eaten. When I start breastfeeding I may switch to similac liquid gels these particular ones require two pills a day the vitamin abd a mineral supplement. Not sure though need to do more research on these brute I decide also will cost about 20$ more per 90 days.

I love nature made liquid gels with added dha and omega 3. They run about 20$ for a 3 month supply. I buy at meijer when they do The buy one get one free deal. Very easy on the stomach if you vomit easy from vitamins like me.

got so bad she actually had to drink iron in a liquid format.

Did your Dr tell you your iron was low? Taking iron pills will help if you are anemic, but they can cause some tummy upset and constipation. Also make sure you are drinking enough fluids. Your blood volume nearly doubles during pregnancy so you need to be adequately hydrated in order to maintain that volume.

I was anemic when I was in high school so my mom pounded it in my head to take iron pills with my prenatal vitamins. I use nature made 65 mg. they're super tiny but I always eat with my vitamins. One day I took them on an empty stomach and I threw up and it was the nastiest taste ever!

How are the liquid iron ? I need to get chewable or liquid bc i cant shallow pills. Prenatal chewable make me sick so I'm taking chewable adult vitamins and currently doing research on chewable or liquid iron pills.

I switched to a liquid capsile with DHA/omegas. Still a huge pill, got them from a health food/supplemental store, but I'm not throwing them up. Lady at the store said the liquid is easier on your stomach than the chalky ones. I'm in Canada, have never seen the gummies.

As Amanda said the usual culprit causing constipation is the iron,but even with it in the multi and the liquid form I have had no issues. I am not taking any fibre either. I bought everything at the health food store. I have had no problem with constipation, in fact I am still very regular with this pregnancy. check out www. sisu. com without the spaces and go to products then womens health and it will give you the lowdown as well as where to buy. Hope this helps!

I am 14 weeks and I throw up for everything and i could not hold down my iron pills so i was told to take two flinestone vitamins with iron and i feel alot better now

But I would try and Google a list of requirements, like so much iron, so much of whatever the other important ones are, take that list with you to the store, and make sure the one you buy has them all.

I am taking a liquid prenatal that has folic acid, dha and iron with other vitamins. I have a bad gag reflex so I can't do the horse pills.

What other supplements/vitamins are you ladies taking or suggest to take besides prenatals? !

You might have PICA, which may be related to an iron deficiency. http://*****************.org/pregnancyhealth/unusualcravingspica.

Then, get a separate natural iron supplement, such as a chelated iron, or Easy Iron or Gentle Iron. Easy Iron and Gentle Iron have just the RDA of iron and are what is recommended, unless your doctor has specifically told you to take added iron.

With both my kids I took gummy prenatal vitamins. 3rd pregnancy doing the same and they are super good.

I had to take liquid iron :) from 28 weeks I had to take it and my iron levels went back to normal :)

I am taking a liquid form which is suppose to be easier for your body to absorb b/c its plant derived ie its a natural form of iron. I dont take it with my prenatals only b/c it makes my stomach to full. its called Floradix Formula and is in a glass bottle. Hope this helps!

My midwife has me on Floradex, it's a liquid iron I get at the health food store. It doesn't block you up at all and the iron pulls did.
