Ferrous sulfate or ferrous gluconate--which is better?
1 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Iron supplements: Ferrous sulfate and ferrous gluconate are equivalent in terms of efficacy as long as the dose of "elemental iron" in each is the same. The main thing is how well your stomach tolerates them. Use the one that gives you the least side effects.
