A member asked:
27 weeks pregnant. is ferrous bisglycinate chelate an ok supplement to take for anemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ferrous sulfate: Ferrous sulfate with multivitamins would be a better choice. If constipation happens, take a fiber laxative like Metamucil. It would help to take iron pills with meals. Wish you good health and a healthy baby!
