To treat iron deficiency anemia, high dose iron supplementation is usually required. The doses required are higher than found in the daily diet or through a daily multivitamin1.
Guidelines suggest a typical therapeutic dose of 100 to 200 mg of elemental iron per day for treatment of iron deficiency anemia in adults2. The amount of elemental iron differs with various preparations3. Always read the label of a product for the amount of elemental iron, and whether it is for ‘prevention’ or ‘treatment’ of iron deficiency anemia.
FeraMAX® Pd Therapeutic 150 contains 150 mg of elemental iron in each capsule which makes it convenient for easy, once-daily dosing, indicated for the treatment of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia in adults, and is certified vegan.
