Iron Folic

Can this be used by my wife ..She is Pregnant. Below is the description of the product. NUTRILITE Iron-Folic is a unique combination of Iron and Folic acid. Nutrilite Iron-Folic provides two of the best tolerated and well absorbed forms of iron (ferrous fumarate and ferrous gluconate), combined with folic acid in a base containing the exclusive Nutrilite Spinach Concentrate. ## Is she currently taking any other supplements? Was this prescribed by her doctor or have you spoken to them about her taking it? The reason I am asking is, because while Folic Acid or a Multi-Vitamin supplement are normally given during pregnancy to make sure the mother and baby both have enough nutrients, too much iron can be just as dangerous as not having enough. That said, this site is not medical professiona...

hi!! i would just like to ask if it is safe to take ferrous sulfate with folic acid (200mg/400mcg) or just take Ferrous sulfate (325 mg) alone? im just wondering since im just 18 yrs old turning 19 and have noticed that i have low iron since i really have a pale skin and whenever i press my fingernails, it takes more seconds before it will go back to normal. i suppose i have low iron since even a pharmacist adviced me to take ferrous sulfate because i always looked like im sick. now, my sister has a friend in health center and gave me free ferrous sulfate + folic acid, manufactured by Nestor pharmaceuticals. I was just wondering if i should take it daily since the indication said its for : Fe-deficiency anemia & folate-deficient megaloblastic anemia. Folic acid deficiency in women o...

It's hard for me to get a good night's sleep. Can this vitamin help or what vitamin should I take to have a good night's sleep? Thanx. ## Propan with iron should help a little, as it contains Vitamin B6 and B12; but I personally think it will be more effective if you combine it with Vitamin D, folic acid, and B3. It is however best to get your vitamins from food rather than supplements if at all possible. Vitamin D deficiencies contribute to sleep irregularities (this may or may not be an issue for you). When you don't have enough, it affects your pineal gland's ability to regulate your circadian rhythms. These rhythms signal the cascade of sleep hormones involved in going to sleep and waking up. B Vitamins, especially B6, is also essential to sleep hormone productio...

how many mg of iron is there ## how many mgs of Iron are there in Ferrex 150 casules ## 150mgs, that's why it's included in the name and there are also several other nutrients in them, Vitamin C, Folic Acid, Vitamin B 12 and Succinic Acid. The dose of the added vitamins and the ones included is different between the two formulations available, but the amount of iron is the same in both. Since it contains iron, it may cause nausea, constipation and darkened stool. Are there any questions or comments? Is there anything else I can help with?

Elderly person needs vitamin with following ingredients: Vit. D 400mg, Folic acid 400 mcg., Biotin 300 mcg., Vit. B-12 1,000 mcg., Vit. B-6 100 mg., Selenium 100 mcg., Calcium + D 1,200 mg., Iron 250 mcg., and Vit. C 3,000 mg. Is there any one tablet that comes close to providing these nutrients in these proportions? ## Since most vitamins are over the counter products, there isn't a database that lists all of them and their ingredients. What I'd like to suggest is asking a pharmacist. They usually have a good idea of what's available and can point you in the right direction. Did a doctor say it must be these specific dosages?
