Celebrate is now selling a multi-complete vitamin in capsule form that includes iron. I wish they had done this a while back. They do make a good vitamin.

does it meet the iron content needed to avoid a 2nd iron supplement? Is there calcium in it too which may cancel out the iron?

How does it compare to the OPurity vitamin?

A serving, which is two capsules, has 18 mg iron. Looking at the stats, I think you'd need to take two servings, or four capsules, a day. That would give you 200% of the things as recommended by the ASMBS. There is no calcium in it.

I think two of these capsules is pretty comparable to one chewable Opurity.

My nutritionist swears by the celebrate vitamins. They are really high quality. The new ones have 36 mg. of iron in them and their website tells you not to take your calcium with the vitamins to improve absorption. I don't know anything about Opurity vitamins, sorry.

Maybe I was looking at a different one than what you're talking about. What I was looking at had 18 mg iron per serving and a serving was two capsules.

OK, yeah, I was looking at something else. This one is 36 mg iron in three capsules, or 12 mg per capsule. And I would consider this a better option than Opurity.
