Personally, I would not touch anything with iron in it. After about the age of 21 it would not be a mineral I would want to include in my supplements (as many supplement companies have opted to exclude it from their formula).

So why no to iron? CANCER!

Please do your research. You may take a look at this if you like: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8664805
The above was concerning males (and females after they reach their menopause).

I’d rather get my iron from non-heme (non-animal if you like) and let my body deal with the transformation from one type to another (such as the case with vitamin A etc.).

Again, I'm sharing with you what I feel comfortable with based on my research on the subject. Please feel free to do your own research and come to your own conclusion on this matter. Thank you for reading.

How would you know whether the iron you are taking (in regards to female anemic) is non heme or heme iron? As all it states is the form of iron not where it is derived from.

Depends what you want... I use whole food as whole food, i supplement with supplements... There are many wonderful things we do not get from pills that are in food. We cant try and jam them all into pulls. Otherwise we are eaitng 10 hockey pucks a day.

So i look for a multi that has what i want in the dosages i want then i add extra things such as minerals, maybe some herbal extracts. but you can never find it all in 1.

So, eat good whole food add supplements to supplement... I should make an updated reccomended nutrient list for people that are interested.

Would be good to find out what things need other things like B vitamins need calcium etc to work properly. If you make anything like that id be interested :)

With regards to heme or non heme iron, I was speaking of food and not supplements. I beleive most iron supplements, like ferrous fumerate and sulphate are made from iron salts and not some food, be it animal or plant derived.
