It's high recommended by a number of people here. Not sure what everyone's dose is, I take two a day, away from my calcium.

Cool.

I thought I read can be taken with calcium or food.

Calcium interferes with iron absorption and we already mal absorb iron, hence the need for supplements. Why make it harder?

Proferrin (heme) iron 100% CAN be taken with calcium. It's not like the OTC iron, which can't be taken at the same time.

I also take 2 daily. You can take this type of iron (heme) with calcium.

I take one a day and my iron has been good. I was not absorbing any other oral iron. I also get infusion when iron get low about every two years.

The one thing I know I can?t absorb after RNY ( and it also constipates bty ) is elemental iron

Only
if I feel fatigued for a few days do I take an iron pill ...and personally I prefer the ones with like four types of ferritin. They Immediately make me feel better .

For me ... I take maybe two iron pills every four months .... and my levels post op are perfect whereas all my life and going into surgery I was called severely anemic.

The four - type ferritin pills are widely available...and inexpensive.

And I also try to eat some beef lol .... half raw if possible ( in steak , barbecue brisket or homemade hamburger form) or chicken liver spread or Boarshead lite liver wurst (usually yech ) ... something fortifying even if it?s chicken soup .

If you?re a veggie fan spinach, kale , quinoa and fresh organic eggs kinda do the same thing but not really . Meat?s better . Listen to your body ...

I also take 2 per day.

It absorbs much better in our systems, does not cause constipation and CAN be taken at the same time as your calcium.
