Bariatric Advantage Chewable Iron 29 mg features both Ferronyl® carbonyl iron and ferrous fumarate along with added vitamin C to support iron absorption. Available in delicious passion fruit flavor. No iron taste.
Iron deficiency is one of the most common deficiencies seen with patients of all bariatric procedure types. ASMBS guidelines call for a minimum of 18 mg of iron per day for patients of all bariatric procedure types, and many female patients need 45-60 mg per day.
Iron and calcium should be taken two hours apart. Calcium has been shown to reduce iron absorption after a meal by 50-60%.
Iron carries oxygen and plays a critical role in enzyme functions, immune function, growth, and development.
Iron is an essential mineral that relies heavily on adequate contact with stomach acid for absorption in the digestive tract. For this reason, many patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgeries develop iron deficiency. In a state of iron deficiency, it is best to supplement iron separately from other minerals to reduce competition for absorption. Calcium, for example, can impair the absorption of iron.Bariatric Advantage's chewable iron is made from a special very soluble form that has almost no iron taste— in fact, most people who taste it can't believe it's iron at all. This formula also contains vitamin C and FOS, which have been shown to support iron absorption.

We suggest that iron supplements be taken at least two hours away from calcium supplements and dairy products. Some features and benefits of this product include:
Ferronyl® carbonyl iron. Ferronyl® carbonyl iron powder is elemental iron (Fe) with > 98% iron content. A key physical property of Ferronyl is its small particle size, which is considerably smaller than other forms of elemental iron. As a result, Ferronyl has higher human bioavailability than these other forms. The net absorption per unit dose of Ferronyl is also greater than that of any of the currently used ferrous (Fe2+) salts.
Ferrous Fumarate (Passion Fruit only).
