How much elemental iron is in each pill?

According to this pharmacist's chart (http://www.thezlifemag.com/phpages/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/medication-18.pdf), it is 20%. When my ferritin was less than 20%, then I would take two 27 mg capsules twice a day for a week, and then 1 capsule once a day. This always pulled it up, and without any GI upset. Don't forget to look at any low stomach acid issues as well. If your stomach acid is low (hypochlorhydria), then you can't absorb the iron from your foods properly. This would require taking Betaine Pepsin HCl supplements until stomach acid increases thereby increasing amount of iron absorbed. This can take months to resolve, but it will. Good sources of Betaine Pepsin HCl is Thorne or Pure Encapsulations.

@Barry: Each 20ml packet contains water enhanced with 5mg of iron. There are no carbs in iron or water and those are the only two ingredients in this product.

Upon further research, this dose yields about 5mg elemental lithium. If another brand sells 10mg, the tablet or capsule is simply larger.

Only 5mg of Elemental Iron There is some confusion with the Ferrous Fumarate and Elemental Iron content. I emailed the manufacturer and was told "My gummies contain 15 mg of Ferrous Fumarate which equivalent to 5 mg of elemental Iron." This is important as you do not receive 15mg of Elemental Iron.

One tab equals 600mg Calcium and 400iu of vitamin E. My doc asked me to take 1200mg, so I take one in am and one in pm.

Yes, a total list is on each bottle and carton. but here are some calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, chromium, selenium. This is an incomplete list there are others listed; also the milligram ( mg) and micrograms (mcg) of each vitamin and mineral the capsules contain.

No, there isn't. And the label suggests that adults take 4 chews daily with or without food (serving size 4 chews). I purchased these thinking 1 chew is all I needed and 120 chews would last me 120 days. Then I read you need 4 to equal most one daily multi-vitamins. And again, iron is not listed on the container I have.

I also want to know how much of each vitamin and mineral are in each tablet. It would be as as simple as showing the back side of the bottle/label.

According to the side of the container, 3 capsules is 1.5g. It also says there's done naturally occurring iron but I don't see anything about B3 so I would say no on that one.

1 oz of wheatgrass contains .66 mg of iron, so find out how much wheatgrass is contained in a bottle and do the math. Thats likely why they are saying '0%' it's likely quite minimal.

I do not know about a safe dose but my doctor has prescribed 4 to 6 tablets per day for anemia, low iron value in my blood work and fatigue. Iron is vital for red blood cell formation and red blood cells carry oxygen in your body. You can contact Nature Made at 1-800-276-2878 or www.NatureMade.com

Yes. This is not the constipating iron pill, that would be ferrous sulphate. This pill is non-constipating.

I don't know why there would be heavy metals in the formula. I certainly don't see any listed as an ingredient. I take one pill per day but dosage should be instructed by the individual's physician.

Container says "22 mg" which is considered 122% of your RDA. Normally taking that much at once would destroy my system, but Raw Iron has no side effects.
