Reply To: Iron bisglycinate dosage compared to ferrous sulfate

Hey, Andreina! So exciting, and great you got initial blood work done to help determine any deficiencies. I can’t provide individualized guidance here or do any blood work reviewing as this is not a HIPAA compliant platform.

Iron bisglycinate is the recommended form and will greatly reduce side effects that often come with iron supplementation! I also agree with focusing on high iron foods in the diet. I cannot provide dosage recommendations since this is an individualized question but on nourishmentisneeded.com they have an iron dosage chart which will be a good starting point: https://thisisneeded.com/products/prenatal-iron
