PowPow Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Mine does! Ferritin is supposed to be 70,80 or higher(per sleep doctor) This is for a 5 yo. We have been giving 5ml of MyKidz Iron 10 twice a day since the fall. Just got it rechecked, but no results yet. Symptoms are much much better. We are now supplementing my 7yo who has a ferritin of 25 &symptoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give with Vit C for increased abssorption,so I give vit c gummies after to encourage cooperation. Use provided dispenser to prevent teeth staining.

ptcgirl Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 FYI: restless legs can be a side effect of SSRIs too. Not sure if any of your kids r taking these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowPow Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 A long syringe type device, just to keep iron off teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
