Ferretts Iron supplement
By Joy L from Raleigh, NC on 8/21/2007
Yes, I would recommend Ferretts to a friend. I have been purchasing Ferretts #60 tablets for quite a while now and am happy with the product and with the service I’ve received from Pharmics. The Ferretts is a medical necessity for me and works well for me. I was glad to be able to find Pharmics on the internet and I am a satisfied customer.

Ferretts tablet use Ferrous Fumarate which is a much better form of iron than Ferrous Sulfate. Ferrous Sulfate is the cheapest form of iron but it also has the most side effects (Stomach Upset, Constipation). Ferrous Sulfate has a low concentration of elemental iron with means you would need to take multiple tablets per day. Ferrous Sulfate contain 20% elemental iron, Ferrous Gluconate contains approximately 12% elemental iron. Ferrous Fumarate has the highest concentration of elemental iron – 33%.
In order to consume the same amount of element iron, you can take 1 Ferretts tablet (Ferrous Fumarate) or 3 to 4 tablet of Ferrous Sulfate or Ferrous Gluconate.
Ferretts is the best option due to its high concentration of elemental iron, milder on the stomach with fewer side effects, better convenience (one tablet daily) and more economical
