I simply do not understand these different iron supplements. I have ferrous fumarate 18mg, which is supposedly 100% DV, but other people online say they are taking hundreds of milligrams of ferrous fumarate or of ferrous sulfate. I don‘t get this.The doc said 325, didn‘t specify a type of iron. I took an extra 18mg fumarate and feel better ( the one pill wasn‘t helping me feel better.) But I don‘t know if that‘s a safe daily dosage (36mg/day.)
I have always been anemic. I lived on iron pills when I was younger, now I have to get iron IV's. My Dr always told me to use iron sulfate. You can ask the pharmacist which is best to build your iron up the fastest but my Dr always prescribed iron sulfate. I took iron shots as a teen but now they don't use shots, just IV's. Take a multivitamin with iron and an extra iron pill as well for a while, that should build it up faster. When you get to feeling better stop the vitamin or pill until you get your iron tested again. You don't want to have too much iron. tamin B-12 helps the iron bind to the cells better so the vitamin does more than just help give you iron. I have to take B-12 shots every week. Anyone that has iron by IV does.

No, it is the wrong stuff. You need to tell us exactly what you are trying to shield against, and how much shielding you need (no shield is perfect)
