I take ferro-grad C, it's got vitamin C in it, which helps to absorb the iron quicker. I take 2 tablets per day, but that is recommended by my midwife as my iron levels are extremely low. I'd suggest you only need 1 a day.

I have low iron too (at the last test a week and half ago, it was only at 97), and it had dropped, even after I was eating more foods with iron in. I made an effort - and failed!! lol

My sister recommended ferro-grad C, but I have no idea how much it costs, or where to get it from. I have just been taking Floradix - a liquid iron supplement.

The health food shop also recommended this stuff (I can't remember what it was called) but you mix the sachet with some orange juice to help absorb it better/faster.

My problem is - I KNOW I have low iron, but I just can't bring myself to pay money to fix me...

If you do take iron supplements, take them with vitamin c or orange juice, and stay away from caffeine and other inhibitors for about 30 mins after the iron intake.

Best of luck xx
