I was taking Sorbifer, and it really helped boost my levels, but it caused stomach pain and discomfort for 1-2 hours afterward. I need to start taking it again. Can anyone recommend effective iron bisglycinate or iron (III) hydroxide with polymaltose complex? These are supplements, and there are so many options. I need something that works.

Hello! I'm taking Ferretab, one tablet a day, for a 4-month course. I don't know the results yet, as I'm only on my second month. But they prescribed it to me during pregnancy before too.

Mariya What was your ferritin level? Are you feeling any better? I have a lot of symptoms from it, and they really make life difficult.

Maltofer really helped me.

Kristina Thanks, what were the results?
I took them in pill form during pregnancy, without a prescription, but they didn't check my ferritin, only my hemoglobin. How long does this package last, how do you take them?

Mariya 14.7. How about you? I just didn't notice its effect on my body. I had the test done before IVF. That's actually when I found out it was low. Before that, I only checked my hemoglobin. Mine is always below 100 during pregnancy. That's why I used to take Ferretab for my hemoglobin. This time, my hemoglobin is 126, but my ferritin is low. But she prescribed Ferretab anyway

Mariya Same here, my hemoglobin is normal, but my ferritin is low. It's 19 now.
Sorbifer raised it from 5.5 to 50 in a few months, then I stopped taking it and it was 19 again… six months after stopping. I noticed this clearly based on how I felt.

Mariya So, my blood pressure has always been low my whole life 🤣 Plus, about 4 years ago, I started having tachycardia. I thought it was due to my cervical chondrosis, but it seems like my ferritin levels contributed to it too

If your protein is below 75, your body won't absorb iron. If albumin is low, you also need to increase protein. It's best to keep protein between 80-85.
I'm taking Hema Plex from SNT.

Mariya I have that too 😁, massage really helps with my SPD. By the way, if you're using a working medication, your hair stops falling out right away

Irina Mine wasn't much higher, it cost 5.5 tablets, but now I need another course.

Truhina Ekaterina Biochemistry is always normal, I suspect chronic stress is the cause

Mariya I'm experiencing less hair loss now. I used to dye my hair every month. Then I did a color melt and Airtouch, so there's less impact on my hair, plus more care with masks, fillers, etc. And it seems like they're falling out less often now.

Mariya I don't dye my hair, or the story is usually the same

Sorbifer is hell. I could only manage three pills.
Ferretab raised mine from 7.7 to 48 in a month and a half. But I had mild side effects too.
Now I'm planning to take Vitaferr. My stomach is very sensitive.

They prescribed me Sorbifer too, but I haven't started it yet. I wanted to finish my Maltofer since I already had it at home. My ferritin is 11.

Elena My therapist is against it, precisely because of the side effects. It's a vicious cycle.

Katya I had the same issue with my ferritin levels.

3 IV drips and life is beautiful. I have no side effects. You can take pills for years and they might not even be absorbed. But the side effects! 🙈 Constipation and nausea too.

I took Maltofer. It's the only iron supplement that doesn't upset my stomach. It raises levels slowly, but at least there are no side effects.

Anyuta 1-2 times a day. In 2 months, it went from 11 to 40.
