Also, FGF contains the equivalent of 80mg of iron, whereas the blackmores supplement you take contains the equivalent of 5mg of iron. Big difference! I would speak with your doctor again. Mention that you are taking the blackmores product and see what he says, but as you can see there is a bit difference in the amount of iron. Are you anaemic? Anyway, HTH.
