How much optifer is needed

How much OptiFer® is needed when the Hemoglobin count is low?

Hemoglobin concentration should not go below 12 g/dl

OptiFer® heme/non-heme ironsupplements are efficientand very well tolerated

The heme iron in OptiFer® will increase also non-heme iron absorption

Tolerance of OptiFer® is so good that 3 tablets per day normally is not a problem

Theoretically an Hb-value of 10 means that some 800 mgs of absorbed iron is needed

One tablet of OptiFer® with a total of 18 mg iron will give1,25 mg of absorbed iron

When iron is low, absorption will be significantly higher

Six packs of OptiFer® will correct a serious situation if Hb is at 9 g/dl

Four packs of OptiFer® will correct the situation if Hb is at 10 g/dl

Two packs of OptiFer® will correct the situation if Hb is at 11 g/dl

Heme iron uptake and tolerancewill not change over time. OptiFer® is ideal for chronics.
