My doctor suggests that I take iron with viatmin C added to help with absorbtion. I used the hospital's Bariatric brand at first, but i am hoping to find something cheaper. Does anyone know of a good iron pill {suggested 30-65 mg iron with vitamin C}? I didnt see any at Walmart. Thanks.

Most brands don't have enough C to help with absorption. You need 200 mg C for every 30 mg iron. The only brand I know that has enough C is the Tender Iron from vitalady.com.

But you can just buy iron and buy separately C and take them together. That's what I do.
