Half of all bariatric post-ops are iron deficient. Chewing Ice is a sure sign of this disabling deficiency. Iron-deficient people tire easily because their bodies are starved for oxygen. Is this you? When asked why they did not take iron supplements as required, side effects of stomach upset, burning, and constipation were cited. Fear of the side effects of iron is greater than the fear of the deficiency itself. The 'Super-Charged' Albion Ferrous Glycinate used in Journey Grape Melt Tabs has unique attributes that support its superior role as a bariatric iron supplement without the side effects of ordinary iron supplements. Each small, really good tasting, fast melt tablet. grape melt tab contains 20mg of highly specialized, chelated ferrous glycinate. Clinical studies with Journey's choice of Albion iron chelates have shown that it improves hemoglobin and ferritin indices at lower dosages than ferrous sulfate or ferrous ascorbate; lower dosages mean fewer side effects and no interactions with other nutrients. This is the iron form recommended by hematologists to maintain iron levels once bariatric patients have had IV iron infusions or blood transfusions. This Gentle Iron does not cause the same gastric or intestinal distress as other kinds of iron and does not block calcium. Plus chewing a grape melt is EASY!
