Iron supplements?

Question

Just for moms who have taken them. Do you take them at a certain time of the day? With what?

Answer

Take vitamin c with it or you get very constipated but I take mine on an empty stomach

Answer

I take mine first thing in the morning with a glass of orange juice

Answer

My doctor told me to take an iron pill at a different time then your prenatal because it absorbs better by itself. I take it when I wake up in the morning.

Answer

Iron, is actually best absorbed on an empty stomach, but for most people, especially pregnant, that will cause nausea.  Take it with vitamin C rich food/drink to help absorb better.  My doc has me on 3 pills a day.  So I just do morning/noon/night.  Make sure you’re getting enough fibre too because they can make you constipated.
