Iron deficiency is a common problem for individuals who diet or who have undergone bariatric surgery. Reduced food absorption is a factor; specifically, bariatric surgery alters the digestive tract below the stomach, leaving food to be re-routed to bypass the duodenum, (part of the small intestine) which is where most iron absorption takes place. Anemia can affect as many as two-thirds of bariatric patients. But there is also increasing evidence that obesity creates a state of chronic inflammation, which can lead to low serum iron levels. B12 is also critical to iron absorption, which is why our iron supplement includes it.
BariatricRx Chewable Gentle Iron provides iron in a convenient, chewable, cherry-flavored form. Our 10mg tablet is made from Iron Glycinate, an amino acid chelate that is easily assimilated. Other ingredients include Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, and B12, all of which support the proper maintenance of blood hemoglobin levels. BariatricRx Chewable Gentle Iron has been designed to minimize side effects such as constipation, stomach upset, and digestive irregularities.
