Best Iron Supplement for Anemia

[anjelicabarte]

Hi girls!

A little help from u guys naman oh. I've been diagnosed with anemia since time immemorial but lately ko lang nafi-feel ang sobrang side effect nito (always sleepy, always malamig ang feeling, always pale). That's why I've decided finally na uminom na ng iron supplement. The prob is, Idunno which one to buy and take.

Right now, I'm torn between SANGOBION or IBERET.  Which is better kaya? Any other suggestions or recommendations? It would be good if u recommend a particular brand para madaling hanapin.hehe. Thanks!

iberet sis.  better get your doctor's prescription muna. 

There was a time, na muntik na ko mahimatay papunta MRT Boni, mainit non pero pinagpapawisan ako malamig tapos, kinakapos sa hininga na medyo nagbablackout na ko.  I went to see the doctor, kasi nga minsan nagkakalagnat din ako sa hapon.  I was asked to get CBC kasi akala dengue.  Ayun, I had IDA, na mula pa bata ako, non ulit bumalik. My doctor gave me a prescription, iberet, to be taken 2 tablets sa isang inuman for 2 weeks.  As in sabi ko 'what the h3ll!!! Tama ba yon? Ang lakas, 1000 mg agad."  This is not to be taken ng walang prescription ha, sinunod ko na doctor ko.  Then after 2 weeks, bumalik ako, did the CBC ulit, medyo ok na.  Pero she asked me to take iberet once continuosly for 30 days then CBC ulit.

Bawal na bawal na ko sa coffee at tea and mapuyat.  Coffee, ang hirap e pero napapansin ko pag nasosobrahan ko, bumabalik yong ganong feeling na di makahinga, palpitations, namumutla.  so alam ko na i need to take iron na naman pag ganon.  since nasa abroad ako, walang iberet dito, i take sangobion na every day kasi nagigising din ako maaga kasi maaga pasok ni hubby.  kulang na ko sa tulog lagi.  it helped a lot naman lalo na pag meron ako.

reminder ulit:  wag basta basta magtatake ng iron vitamins.  consult your doctor first sis kasi mahirap din yon masobrahan mo.

Alright sis.. thanks so much for the advise and for sharing your experience!

[phurple0515]

your welcome sis.  Basta, before taking iron, go check with your doctor kasi sasabihan ka niya until when ka kailangan mag-take, how many dosage you need to take, proper nutrition, etc. 

Siguro, if di ka naman makakapunta sa doctor, there is a multivitamins na iberet na rin ata, iberet active ba yon. baka pwede na yon sa yo   Kasi ako IDA so mahirap i-absorb ng katawan ko ang iron kaya kelangan talaga ng supplement.

sorbifer. with vit c na kasi

I used to take Iberet before and effective siya sa akin. Nag-improve blood tests ko. I also tried Healthy Option's iron vitamins, pero di ko nasukat kung gaano siya ka-effective kasi di ako nakapagpa-blood test after trying it. Now I'm planning to take Iberet again.

[prettykitkat]

I take Iberet Folic sis. it really helps. It has folic acid din, which is good for women in general (not just for pregnant women).

Been anemic since bata pa ako. Hirap mag skip ng iron vitamins, nagiging lutang ako and ang bagal ng reactions/reflex hehe. Hard to focus.

[snix]

since bata pa rin yung pagkaanemia ko pero ngayon hindi na masyado kapag puyat na puyat lang..

iberet din pinrescribe sakin, nyng bata ako kalimutan ko kung ano pinapainom sakin, pinapakain rin ako liver
and ampalaya..tapos pag minsan inaagapan namin ni mama pinagttake niya ko stress tabs since may iron din yun pero it's really up to your doctor..

better to ask doctors than to take advice from us here

[prettyxxxangel]

i recommend puh ferrous sulfate.... yun xe nirereseta ng doctor anemic din xe [textspeak!]...

hello! either sangobion or iberet are good iron supplements. so far, i've prescribed either of them to my patients and there were no adverse effects reported so far. however, i only prescribe this for a limited time then have repeat labs. too much iron in the body can also be harmful to the body. 

[Heavenly_Bliss]

i'll suggest sangobion or appebon. pwede rin ang iberet. sabayan mo ng vit. C for faster absorption.

malunggay/malunggay capsules works wonders + a high iron content, all natural too

[Heavenly_Bliss]

sis, where do you buy your malunggay capsules and how much?

be careful when taking iron supplements for anemia. i have been taking iron supplements since i was a kid pero nung 22 years old, dun lang nalaman na di pa iron deficiency ang cause ng anemia ko. it was a blood disorder called thallasemia pala and worse baka daw sobra na ang iron ko sa body kasi di naman ako deficient. folic acid was prescribed instead para daw sa better production ng blood cells

[chiqmom]

iberet for me especially during putayan and red days. but for everyday, i just use yung generic na ferrous sulfate.

[nicegirl05]

joining..
mga sis ako rin anemic, ngtetake ako ng ferrous sulfate pero nagcoconstipate naman ako everytime na umiinom ako. every week nagluluto ako ng bulanglang with kamote tops, ok kasi rich in fiber kaya lang nakakasawa rin. any suggestion po na hindi nakaka-constipate.. tia

[honey_iya]

sorbifer. with vit c na kasi

Ito din prescribed sa akin ng OB ko.

^Ako sis di naman constipated pero baka dahil sa kumakain ako everyday ng papaya at kamote

[nicegirl05]

^sis, pag nagtetake ako ng iron in capsule nagkoconstipate talaga ako, kaya di na lang ako umiinom ng iron kasi ako din ang nagsusuffer.

[honey_iya]

^Ohh. Try mo mag papaya sis or eat food that rich in iron nalang. Ako di ko talaga kaya ang balut eh,yun advise sa akin ng OB ko tsaka Liver
