What Experts Say

Iron polymaltose is absorbed better and causes fewer stomach problems than regular iron salts. You're less likely to get constipation, nausea, or belly pain. The folic acid helps your body make DNA and red blood cells, which makes the combo especially useful for anemia.

Doctors prescribe iron and folic acid together for pregnant women, women who might get pregnant, and people with diagnosed anemia. It covers both needs (iron and folic acid) that your blood needs to form properly. Taking it regularly brings hemoglobin back up and you'll feel less tired and weak.

Medical practice backs iron supplements as a core treatment for iron deficiency anemia. Polymaltose formulas are preferred because they get absorbed better and cause fewer stomach side effects. Stick with it as your doctor says and your energy will improve.
