What is the difference between the dosage of this iron 25mg and ferrous iron at 325mg, why such a big difference? Would I need 13 caps of this iron?

Hi there, ferrous sulfate is often prescribed at doses of 325 mg, which a rather archaic way of prescribing iron. The elemental amount of iron in that dose is approx 68 mg. The amount of elemental iron in the Iron Extra is 25 mg per capsule, and the dose is 1-3 caps per day . So, if you take 3 caps (take with food), you'd fulfill your iron prescription and with more gentle forms of iron over the sulfate form which tends to be problematic for people. Hope this helps!

How quickly does this work to make you not tired?

This entirely depends on you and why you are tired. I could notice a difference within the first week but I had been prescribed this by a doctor after a blood test.

Does it contain folic acid?

Per the ingredients listed above it contains Methylfolate and also methylcobalamin (B12) which are the bioavailable forms. It does not contain synthetic Folic acid.

Why does Vitanica put calcium in this iron supplement? Calcium inhibits the absorption of both heme and non-heme iron.

I’m so glad you brought this point up, It’s really irritating when companies put Calcium in an iron supplement! There’s no need for it, they just like to use a cheap for of Vitamin C (calcium ascorbate or ascorbic acid) when they should be using a natural Vitamin C derived from Acerola or Camu Camu or Amla berries. I will not buy this product unless they take the calcium out.

Great quality iron from a mom of 6

Took this as recommended by my midwife. Ive taken other iron with my other 5 pregnancies, but this one was noticeably different. I didn't deal with constipation from this iron, and I was able to heal much faster postpartum. I really think taking the right supplements helps. This is a great quality brand! Also, this iron does not have a funky taste.

THIS PRODUCT WORKS TO RAISE your IRON count.

Low iron was an ongoing problem until this product. The iron dose is low enough that I had NO side effects. The combination of ingredients allowed for maximum absorption. I had take PRESCRIPTION strength Iron in the past, causing side effects without my iron being raised enough. More iron does not equal better rather it's the amount of iron you body will absorb. I recommended this product to a friend who was given a high dose of iron by her doctor and was having side effects with out her iron raising enough for a needed surgery. She tried this product and up went her iron and she was able to get the surgery needed.
