ShrinkyDinkMe22 376 Posted December 16, 2012 Anyine Iron deficient anemic? If so do you take a chewable? If so which one? I'm only 5 days postop and I refuse to crush up my iron pill so my hubby just picked me up nature's plus chewable iron with Vitamin can and herbs. My question is, is it okay to take this with the herbs in them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGamer 406 Posted December 16, 2012 I am, and I never quit taking my normal Iron supplement. I'd suppose it would depend on what the herbs are whether they'll be safe or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ozeedonkee 145 Posted December 16, 2012 I have been at frequent intervals. I'm taking an Iron melt (most) nights, but I'll wait for my 3 month bloods before I worry too much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ozeedonkee 145 Posted December 16, 2012 Sorry- I didn't answer your question... Some herbs are contra-indicated with some medications. You may need to check with a dr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShrinkyDinkMe22 376 Posted December 16, 2012 Thanks all. My Dr did tell to continue Iron supplement but it's a tablet. So i sent hubby out later night to get a chewable. He came back with the above. I hesitated taking it because of the herbs. I knoe I can take Vitamin C but it had trace amounts of rose hips and a couple other items in there. I will wait until Monday and check with the Dr. I wanted to make sure I got back on something bc i know surgery csn make the iron low again and my wonderful monthly friend came a few days later (tmi sorry). But that was the other reasons I felt like I should get on something right away. And I refuse to crush up the tablet is have. The pill tastes disgusting on my tongue lol. Thanks all!

lollyfidy1965 402 Posted December 16, 2012 Vitamin Shoppe sells a chewable berry flavored Iron supplement that is pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
