How do you know which to get?** A: This one, Now Iron 18 mg, 120 Veg Capsules is the one I always buy. I have low iron and this keeps me up to par. The veggie capsule is a real plus. My doctor said to take it with vitamin c. **Q: How many of these is equal to 325mg of Ferris sulfate?** A: Debra's simple math is missing the context of the question, especially given her suggestion to overdose on the product, which you never want to do for long with minerals or fat-soluble vitamins. The main takeaway is that due to increased bioavailability in the gut, they are equivalent in terms of the amount of iron your body will absorb. The 65 mg of elemental iron in ferrous sulfate are equivalent to the 18 mg of iron in ferrochel bisglycinate. This product, while more expensive than ferrous sulfate, is intended for those who have sensitive stomachs or who have malabsorption issues. Among folks who would use this product this is most of us though; since healthy people, particularly the beef, bean and green eaters, and the non-bleeders, do not need extra iron. How much extra does someone with malabsorption need? There's only one answer and that's: Its highly variable. But whenever you go beyond the RDA dose you should consult medical (not Amazon answers) and also not plan on staying at that dose for long. Real food is always the answer. Supplements and drugs are to fix things, not maintain them. Remember that. **Q: Is this ok for 68 year old woman?** A: I am a 59 year old woman and I take one twice a day. They do not cause constipation or any other side effects. If you're concerned check with your doctor. Best wishes. **Q: Is this chelated?** A: No. Now Iron is a gentle free iron, not bound to non- metallic ions. It does not cause constipation and is gentle on a sensitive stomach. I have taken this iron pills for several years without any problems. I highly recommend them. ## Frequently Bought Together - NOW Foods Supplements, Iron 18 mg, Non-Constipating*, Essential Mineral, 120 Veg Capsules - NOW Foods Supplements, Vitamin D-3 5,000 IU, High Potency, Structural Support*, 240 Softgels - NOW Foods Supplements, Zinc (Zinc Gluconate) 50 mg, Supports Enzyme Functions*, Immune Support*, 100 Tablets --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/5243941-now-foods-supplements-iron-18-mg-non-constipating-essential-mineral](https://www.desertcart.us/products/5243941-now-foods-supplements-iron-18-mg-non-constipating-essential-mineral) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
