stanfordgal Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 before starting this program, I was diagnosed with low ferritin for the 2nd time. Last year, I took Vitron-C for 3 months and got my ferritin back into a healthy range. But it seems to have gradually declined, despite my eating many iron-rich foods (I had a pretty healthy, veggie-rich, gluten-free diet before). I was about to resume the Vitron-C when I read through the ingredients - chock full of bad stuff like dyes and maltodextrin. FeoSol wasn't much better - looked online and saw sucrose, dyes, and other garbage. Does anyone know of an iron supplement that, if not 100% compliant, isn't completely ridiculous! Thanks.

GFChris Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 This might suit your needs. https://www.mossnutrition.com/products/hematicresponse90t/?listWidgetID=227 I would double-check the ingredients with Moss Nutrition (this is the supplier from whom I've obtained my supplements for years), but at first glance, it looks like this product may work.

GoJo09 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I've also struggled with low iron/ferritin in the past, although oral supplements haven't actually helped me at all. What did help was completing a Whole 30 and eating pate every day. I'd rather eat pate than take the pills - much more fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted October 17, 2014 Administrators Share Posted October 17, 2014 I've been chronically low on iron as well and I definitely notice that with Whole30 eating I do not get to the point that I need to supplement. I used to use Florasil but it's basically awful for you due to the above mentioned chemicals and sugars. If I absolutely have to supp I do it with FerraMAX150 in pill form. Ingredients: 150mg elemental iron polysaccharide, red 28, yellow 10, Blue 1 and red 40, gelatin, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, titanium dioxide. Why they have to put food colorings in a capsule, I just have no clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
