I'll be switching soon from Celebrate chewable iron (fumerate) to Vitalady's Tender iron (carbonyl)....they're both the same mg (basically)....   What kind of iron do you take?

Sundown perfect iron, which is carbonyl.

Do you mind me asking, what is carbonyl?

It's just a type of iron.

You know how there are different types of calcium, like carbonate and citrate?

There are different types of iron, including carbonyl, heme, ferrous sulfate, ferrous fumerate and ferrous gluconate.

Some we absorb better than others.   Some are more likely than others to cause constipation.

So is the carbonyl generally the best for us?

Carbonyl or heme.  But heme costs a lot more.

Kelly, where do you buy the sundown ones. I am thinking I need to get those and rotate them between that and vitalady's wafer ones. The taste of vitaladys is disgusting so I would like to rotate the iron until I finish off the ones I have from vitalady. I see them on amazon for a pack of 4 for 20.16 but I can't see the mg on the bottle

I get them on drugstore.com.  I forget the price, but cheap.  The ones I get are 25 mg tablets, and they are small, easy to swallow.
