Do you know of any kind of vitamins (preferably gummies for taste and ease of intake) that contain iron?

I am currently taking Centrum for Women. However, I noticed that there was no iron in them and I really need it, I don't eat much meat.

Hello Ma'am,

To my knowledge, there are no iron supplements that exist in the form of "gummies". You could, however, add to your current multivitamin gummies by simply taking a small iron pill. Simply ask the pharmacist to provide you with iron fumarate tablets (Palafer™), a product that is usually very well digested and can be found behind the counter, but without a prescription.

Happy day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
