Iron! Any Recommendations?

[Blugirl 42]

hello! I'm 11 weeks postop, and I am currently taking the Bariatric Advantage Iron chewable tablets, and they are pretty tasty, however....... i hate the aftertaste!!!! Its nasty!!! I take ir right before bedtime..... any ideas on when to take it? or what other iron tablets?

I take a prenatal Vitamin. The vitamin-y aftertaste is minimal and I know I'm absorbing the Iron because of the side effects. I use BelllyBar chewable Prenatals, two daily and they're a pretty balanced multi that includes Iron and B12. Check with your doc if they're suitable for folks that aren't pregnant or trying to get pregnant. It's the first multi I take every day, because it doesn't make me nauseous. My hair and nails are finally like they were prior to surgery!

I take mine first thing in the morning WITH food. Right in the middle of my Protein coffee or whatever I'm eating, I stop to take my Vitamins and then finish my meal. No real aftertaste, no nausea, no problems.

Good luck,

I take Centrum chewables multi, which has 15g of Iron so I don't have to take it separate.
