Why is ferrous gluconate said to be easier to absorb than ferrous sulphate?
Thanks for the information. Are there any foods that are good sources of ferrous gluconate that I should incorporate into my diet?
Ferrous gluconate is not naturally found in foods, but there are many iron-rich foods that can help increase your iron intake. Good sources of iron include red meat, poultry, fish, beans, lentils, tofu, fortified cereals, spinach, and other leafy greens. Consuming these foods alongside Vitamin C-rich foods can help improve iron absorption as well.
