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.
