I am taking Chromagen Forte which is a prescription medication. I looked up the medication online when I first got it. I don't remember the type of iron, but do remember it was a strong dose of iron in addition to B12, Vitamin C and Folic Acid.
I do know that iron responds better with vitamin C as far as the amount that is absorbed. I have had minimal side effects. You may want to ask your doctor if he/she will prescribe the Chromagen Forte for you.
I do like that it contains all the necessary things I need to help raise my ferritin levels as well as hemoglobin, etc. Hopefully it will get me out of the anemia zone soon!
My ferritin has come up 5 points since I started taking it at the end of September. YIPPEE! I am excited since when I started taking it, my ferritin was at a 5.
