This supplement actually reduced my blood iron count
I switched from a prescription iron supplement to Nature Made Iron 65 mg. My blood iron count dropped after taking this supplement for a few months. I checked the ingredients and the supplement contains calcium phosphate. I did some research and found a study on PubMed that shows calcium phosphate reduces iron absorption by up to 62%. If you suffer from anemia, please have your physician write you a prescription for ferrous sulfate 325 mg or find another supplement that doesn't include calcium.
