Reddit reviews Nature Made Iron 65mg, Equivalent to 325 mg Ferrous Sulfate - 300 Tablets

You probably need around 18-33mg/day. The low end is for non-vegetarian women, and the high end is for vegetarian women. Since you're feeling slightly anemic, I'd say shoot for 25-30mg a day.

Beef is out, so here are some other sources:

• 3.5oz chicken liver - 12.8mg
  
• 1c. fortified instant oatmeal - 10mg*
  
• 1c. boiled soybeans (edamame) - 8.8mg*
  
• 1c. boiled lentils - 6.6mg *
  
• 1c. boiled kidney beans - 5.2mg*
  
• 1/2c. firm tofu - 3.4mg*
  
• 1/2c. cooked spinach - 3.2mg*
  
• 3/4c. fried clams - 3mg
  
• 3.5oz dark meat turkey - 2.3mg
  
• 1c. enriched white rice - 1.8mg*
  
• 2 slices of enriched bread - 1.8mg*
  
• 3.5oz white meat turkey - 1.6mg
  
• 1/2c. raisins - 1.5mg*
  
• 3.5oz chicken meat - 1.2mg

  Ones marked with an *asterisk are non-animal (NON-HEME) sources, so they're not as readily absorbed - these you'll want to increase the availability of the iron. You can combine it with Vitamin C or another animal (HEME) source, or by cooking them in an iron pot or skillet.
  
  Also be aware that coffee or tea with a meal can bind iron and keep it from being absorbed.
  
  If you don't want to deal with all that, you can take an iron supplement like this one and get 65mg in one shot, or a daily multivitamin like this one and get 18mg.

this was to replace the expensive pills the prescribed me. I didn’t have problems with stomach pain on the original pills so I can’t speak to that unfortunately.

Be sure to read the overdose and combination information at the NIH page!!! Iron poisoning is VERY common for children.

There are many forms of iron supplements which contain different amounts of elemental iron. These are the top 4.

• 1 gram of ferrous gluconate = 120 mg elemental iron (12% iron);
  
  
• 1 gram of ferrous sulfate = 200 mg elemental iron (20% iron);
  
  
• 1 gram of ferrous fumarate = 330 mg elemental iron (33% iron).
  
  
  Heme iron polypeptide (HIP) (e.g. Proferrin ES and Proferrin Forte) can be used when regular iron supplements such as ferrous sulfate or ferrous fumarate are not tolerated or absorbed. A clinical study demonstrated that HIP increased serum iron levels 23 times greater than ferrous fumarate on a milligram-per-milligram basis.
  
  
  I recommend ferrous fumarate from Amazon.
  I take one tablet 3 times a week.
