Can anyone recommend a good Iron supplement?

Hi everyone,
I've been taking a supplement for my Iron levels (Iron Melts - also has folic acid, B12 & C in there) for a few months now & its been great. I've been feeling so much better compared to what I felt like beforehand BUT (silly me!) I just read the ingredients list on the back & the sneaky rascals have put ASPARTAME in there!! Id like to change to something else & was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? I've tried Floradix liquid before but its disgusting & leaves a horrible metallic taste in my mouth as well.

I'm in New Zealand so some products might not be as readily available here as in other countries.

Thanks in advance!

Kaz :wink:

    Food high in iron. Cooking in an iron skillet. Any multivit with iron. That's all I got! Good luck! :smile:

    Crazy as it sounds, my doctor recommended Flintstones Complete. It brought my iron levels up quickly!

    Is that like a 'kiddie' supplement? I've never heard of it before?

    I take the Flintstone's iron pill thing that they make for children. Also, aspartame isn't really the evil substance that people make it out to be.

    I like Spantone PurAbsorb. Not sure it's available where you are though.

    I use spatone - it doesnt taste of much so you can add to a bit of juice and not notice really. I dont eat any red meat so figure it's a good idea to take daily.

    It's available on amazon :)
