Excellent iron supplements that I have taken are Floradix iron plus herbs and Enzymatic Therapy's Ultimate Iron. Both use very gentle, absorb able iron, ferrous gluconate, and ferrous succinate. They do not constipate or cause any digestive issues at all. You can read many glowing reviews of Ultimate Iron at vitacost, and also many for Floradix at amazon.com. If you get a gentle easy to digest iron, it actually helps constipation. One of the symptoms that I have found listed for iron deficiency is constipation. I have struggled with it just about my whole life, but I have been amazed at how this has disappeared since getting my iron level up. I have also been eating a lot of probiotic foods for some time now, such as kombucha, kefir and homemade sauerkraut. That helped, but I have seen even greater improvements since dealing with the iron deficiency. Ultimate Iron works just as well as Floradix and is way cheaper. You can get it at swansonvitamins.com or vitacost.com for about 12 dollars for a bottle of ninety softgels, which lasts a month and a half if you take it at the dosage of two gels a day recommended one the bottle. You absorb about 16 mg of iron from 2 softgels which are about 50 mg. of ferrous succinate. The absorption rate of ferrous succinate is about 32 percent. I take three softgels a day, as less than this doesn't improve my symtoms as well as three. I have been taking for about a month and a half and will retest my iron level at about three months.
