I search Ferrous Gluconate as my Dr. suggested for low iron levels, but I don't see it anywhere on the item description. Is this the right supplement?

No this is not the same as your Dr has suggested. Ferrous Gluconate, is a type of iron that is contained in food. As far as I know the brand names for it are Ferate, Fergon, Farralet, and Simron. It's the iron one gets when pregnant. I am not sure if it is RX only. Hope this helps.

Yes it does. That's actually the reason why I bought this product and returned another. Here's what the bottle says: Iron (as gluconate) 2.5mg 25% daily value for children under 4 and 14% daily value for children over 4 Hope that helps. If you have any more questions about the product, please feel free to ask.

Only 5mg of Elemental Iron There is some confusion with the Ferrous Fumarate and Elemental Iron content. I emailed the manufacturer and was told "My gummies contain 15 mg of Ferrous Fumarate which equivalent to 5 mg of elemental Iron." This is important as you do not receive 15mg of Elemental Iron.

iron as (gluconate) 4.5 mg per capful. The color of the liquid is a solid green, but the taste is not offensive and it blends well in a smoothy.

Bifera has 28mg of iron which is 155% of the daily requirement but it is in heme and nonheme form so overall it is better absorbed, less upsetting to the stomach and unlikely to constipate ... A really great product! I'm a pharmacist and I use it myself, recommend it to patients, even told my Ob/Gyn about it and now she uses it and recommends it too!

This does NOT contain pure elemental iron. Each gummy contains 15 mg iron in the form of Ferrous Fumarate.(5mg of elemental iron). Elemental iron is the total amount of iron in the supplement available for absorption by your body. Each type of iron has a different percent of elemental iron. For instance:⦁ Carbonyl has 100% elemental iron. ⦁ Ferrous fumarate has approximately 33% elemental iron. ⦁ Ferrous sulfate has 20% elemental iron. ⦁ Ferrous gluconate has 12% elemental iron.

I tried a case of this over a month & it helped tremendously - it helps both joints & muscles. No idea on the blood level of it, but it is most definitely worth the cost - powder or liquid form. It probably effects different people differently, as metabolisms are all different on an individual basis. I know it worked for me - worth a trial run

I have biopsy and blood test confirmed celiac disease and responded very badly over time to this supplement. Had all sorts of weird symptoms (especially in my legs) that I did not connect to this part of my diet for a while. As soon as I stopped adding this to my smoothies (and I LOVED it), these all disappeared. This company is pretty explicit as to which of their products are gluten free and this is not one of them. I was being a dummy to assume, don't risk it if gluten is a problem for you. I know that this question was asked a while ago but it is still relevant and I thought deserving of a more involved answer.

This is a great iron supplement. My Gastrologist recommended this brand when it first come on the market. I find there are no side affects like other iron supplements. You can take them with or without food. If you must take iron, this is a great choice. I paid for the price of two that Amazon sold for three bottles instead. Great price and good deal!

garden of life emailed me suggesting i give this raw iron to my 6 yr old. since they removed the iron from the kids multivitamin. i'm thinking i'll start with half a caspule. my daughter still takes the multivitamin from garden of life, but she get dark circles when she misses iron. since this is the only iron that has suited me, and i have anemia, i wish i found this years ago esp during pregnancy. the family multivitamin only has 11% iron with 4 capsules doesnt make sense. that means if i give her 2 capsules she gets 5% iron. our food is good vegetarian and she eats a lot of greens and beets and stuff... so some times iron has to be supplemented.

I've been taking Ferrex 500 for over a year for low iron with great results. Ferrex 500 doesn't require a prescription and the price is very reasonable. Amazon beats any drugstore price.

We totally agree! Since supplements work differently for everybody, we can't really tell you which of the supplements would be more beneficial to you. However, our Garcinia Cambogia 180ct. is our most popular presentation. If I were you, that would be the first one I would try :)Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm here to help :D

First off I am not the manufacturer or the seller.Second, if you read the label, it does not just say "no iron" it clearly says "NO ADDED IRON". So if you need additional iron in your diet this isn't for you. Women normally need additional iron in their diet, men do not.So this product works better as a male dietary supplement than it does for a woman.

The main ingredient in the FERREX-150 this dietary iron supplement is 150mg of Polychloride Iron @ 833% of Daily Value. Other ingredients are: Sodium Laurel Sulfate, Gelatin, Microcrystalline Cellulouse, Stearic Chloride,Polyethehylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Croscarmellose Sodium, Titamium Dioxide, Polyvinylpyrrolidone, FD&C Yellow # 5 Lake*, FD&C Red # 40 Lake, FD&C Red # 3 Lake, FD&C Blue # 1 Lake. Also contains * Yellow # 5 Lake (Tartrazine) as a color additive (which may cause some allergic-type reactions. (The ingredients above is copied directly from the Manufacturers box). I have been taking this supplement for the past 11 months to help control my tendency of becoming anemic, which unfortunately I have had a real problem with iron deficiencies in the past 1 1/2 years. It has proven to keep my iron levels up and where they should be (consistently verified in my very regular blood tests), without any noticeable side effects. This specific supplement was referred to me by my Nephrologist to provide my needed daily iron supplement without causing any constipation issues that many other iron supplements have a tendency to do. My current daily dosage is 2 gelcaps per day (2 at bedtime). Hopefully this helps...

I would like to add that I contacted Nature's Way and was advised that any amount of iron that is measured in the current batch produced will be listed on the label like this: "Iron (iron is naturally occurring) (from spirulina, calcium citrate/carbonate) 800 mcg 4%".So sometimes the "NO IRON ADDED" supplemental facts will list Iron in the amount like above and some will not list any Iron at all according to the measured Iron when produced but both are essentially the same products. FYI (Batch number is listed on the bottom of the bottle or sometimes on the side.)

I take this Iron Zahlers Iron Complex, Complete Blood Building Iron Supplement with Ferrochel, Easy on the Stomach Iron Pills with Vitamin C, Optimal Absorption, #1 Top Quality All Natural Iron Vitamin, Kosher Certified, 100 Capsules which 1 Capsule is equivalent to 325mg of prescribed Iron. I've seen amazing results on these. Plus it already contains Vitamin C in it, meaning that I didn't have to add on any additional supplement.
