Then why Pharma companies are not coming up with vit c and iron supplements?
It’s a good idea sir.
Good question. Its a product that Pharma should definitely consider!
We have them here, in Canada!@DiscoverDermatology
@@DiscoverDermatology won’t it cause stomach upset? How far a part to take iron and thyroid medication ?
Some do!
Liquid iron usually contains vitamin C
I take it with a mix of prume, pomegranate, orange, and apple juice every morning 1-hour before breakfast.
I stopped drinking coffee ☕️
That is very healthy indeed!
Juice well impair it's absorption unless a citrus juice
Great suggestions!
Thanks Ro!
@@DiscoverDermatologywill it cause upset stomach and how long in between taking thyroid medication ?
@@coleengregory9886 In low doses iron usually is acceptable to the tummy. Not sure about whether it can be taken with thyroxine or not.

what are your thoughts about Iron polysaccharide complex 150mg daily once? and also can I take this calcium tablets that we dissolve in water and then drink?
Not sure about iron polysaccharide. Dissolvable calcium is also an option.
Great suggestions!! But what about the very common GO disturbance iron tablets cause if taken on an empty stomach.....
And some iron formulations are alredy made with vitamin C like dexorange in india
A very valid point! For those with gastrointestinal disturbances I agree that taking it in an empty stomach may aggravate their symptoms.
What can we do to avoid becoming constipated due to too much iron
Good question. Usually the dose of iron determines the amount of constipation we experience. If we keep the dose to a level that suits the body, that will decrease constipation. It may be better to use a lower dose that we can tolerate rather that use a high dose that our body is unable to handle.
Thank you Dr.
Sir which iron tab is best can u plz suggest the name plz and can we take it wid lemon juice empty stomach
Im afraid I do not have any specific brand names for iron tablets. I usually suggest ferrous fumarate as it's a bit softer than ferrous sulphate. It can be taken on an empty stomach and with lemon juice. Anything acidic seems to enhance the absorption.
@@DiscoverDermatology ok sir thanku so much
good question
Sir do you pls give me a suggestion for when and how i will take vid d3 tablet? I also face iron deficiency. Could I take iron and vid d3 tablet together?
Usually Vitamin D is taken after food. It is sometimes taken with K2. I plan to do a video on it soon, so look out for it. You could take both together.
My Dr. told me to take with orange juice I am anemic. Ty.
Yes, that is very good advice! Having a good diet helps too. here is a video on it:

@DiscoverDermatology worms case iron deficiency and how much time takes treatments to cure
@@nazfatimavlogs5187 It is important to get rid of the worms with effective treatment. After that the body will recover its Iran levels over a period of 3 to 6 months.
I use iron tablets at night, because I am afraid of extreme gastric issues. Could you tell if it’s beneficial to take it at night
It is no problem to take it any time of the day. Absorption is supposed to be better in the morning. However, we need to take into consideration other side effects it could cause. If there is gastric irritation, then taking it after a meal, even in the evening or night is ok as long as it reduces the gastric issues.
@@DiscoverDermatology thank you for your reply, it helps a lot 😇
I take with early in the morning with Orange juice and one raw garlic I heard garlic makes it absorb better is this true ?
Orange juice helps its absorption, Not sure about garlic. Garlic has other uses though as detailed in this video

Hello my iron studies is 35ug/dl and total iron binding capacity is 346ug/dl.. Can i take iron supplements ?
I think we need to know the reference levels of the lab. It is different for each lab. If the levels is low or low normal it is worth taking iron supplements.

You are right, iron can sometimes irritate the stomach and it is useful to have it with food if that is the case.
does orange juice contain iron ?
No. It has vitamin c, which will increase the absorbed iron
@@gphillimo Sorry, i didn't understand the last part of you reply -- Increased the absorbed Iron ? as In does it help in better iron absorption ?
@@chetanrs As mentioned, orange juice does not have iron. It helps our body to absorb iron in other foods.
