Is Ferrous Sulfate Or Glucanate Is Hydrolyzed Protein Chelate And What Is The Reason For Sulfate Bothering Stomach?
Hello: what type of iron is hydrolyzed protein chelate? Is it ferrous sulfate or glucnate? I am 51 female and have iron deficiency anemia off and on ver 15 years. My Hemglobin is 9.8 and ferritin is 4. I have to take iron but sulfate bothers my stomach.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem, the concentration of Hb is okay, if you do have problem with the iron therapy then it is not necessary to go for oral iron therapy, If I would be your doctor then I would suggest to have iron containing diet because this is the best way to increase your iron level and for this you can have opinion from any good dietician, have nice day.
