Anyone get their iron levels up with Floradix or Spatone?

[blockopop]

Like the subject says - has anybody successfully got their iron levels up with one of the liquid supplements?

I'm on nasty iron tablets at the moment and they're really not agreeing with me. I'm considering switching to a liquid alternative but they don't contain the same levels of iron as the pills.

FWIW I'm not deficient, I'm in the normal range but at the low end. My GP wants me to take iron as a precaution so I don't slip into a deficit later on.

They did sero for me but I was deficient. I'm vegetarian, but ippimg my amount is of pulses really helped.spatone is truly vile. If you take pregnacare post pregnancy vitamins they have the highest vitamin contents of including iron but t it doesnt cause the stomach problems like ferrous sulphate vor ferrous fumurate do.

I use spatone and think it helps me feel a bit better, could be coincidence though.

Be careful if you're using an iron supplement that also has other things (e.g. b vitamins) added - if you're already taking a general pregnancy supplement you might be doubling up on some vitamins and get too much.

I take spa tone to wash my iron tablet down

I don't like floradix it's not nice tasting but the spa tone apple is fine

Spatone helped me. I was low on iron and couldn't tolerate any of the various tablets I tried.

Spatone was a last resort as I wanted a home birth which wouldn't have been allowed if my levels didn't come up.

Take it in orange juice though - it's like sucking on a rusty pipe!

Betteryou iron spray worked for me

That's good to hear @piggy. Do you remember what your levels were before vs after?

Yes - spa tone apple. Iron now higher level of normal.
