Iron supplements

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I want to order myself some iron supplements. I am hoping it will help with my energy. I am looking on Vitacost and was going to get New Chapter Iron Food Complex or Flora Floradix Iron and herbs.

The New Chapter is much cheaper. Are they okay to use while pregnant? Do any of ya'll have other suggestions?

 

Thanks

Heya Circle V. Before ordering your shipment, I would recommend checking with your health care provider. For one--- I think it's always best to check with them if there is every any doubt about how you feel and the safety of a supplement/pill. Also, they might want to do a quick blood panel to be certain as to what minerals you might be deficient in...if any. Although iron deficiency is common during pregnancy... there are different types of (non-iron-related) anemia that can pop up, and you probably don't want to be popping iron if you don't need it!

 

Hope this helps, and hope that you feel more energized soon!
