Well, it's probably best if you consult a doctor for this, because medicines affect people differently. Just because one person only gets stomachaches as a side effect from medicine doesn't mean you will get the same side effect. It's mainly because of genes, other conditions, things like that. But I hope this helps you in some way.

This combination product contains a mineral along with 3 vitamins. It is used to treat or prevent a lack of these nutrients which may occur in certain health conditions. Iron is an important mineral that the body needs to produce red blood cells. A woman’s natural iron regulatory system increases absorption of iron from her diet during times of blood loss. Her normal absorption rate of 1-milligram increases to 1.5–3 milligrams per day. It is the female body’s natural response to blood loss. It can be difficult to meet the increase in iron through diet alone. Particularly in women with low red meat intake, plant-based diets, and after childbirth.

Amongst women who experience heavier periods adequate daily iron intake is particularly important and may be difficult to achieve with diet alone.

You can get iron from food. It may not be enough to meet your daily intake due to menstruation. Women can lose up to half a pint of blood during each menstrual cycle.

Even if you are making an effort to ingest more iron by eating meat. Most health authorities recommend a safe upper intake of only 500g of red meat per week. Several factors must be present before our bodies can absorb iron and use it. A healthy digestive system and an adequate amounts of nutrients such as zinc, vitamin C, and B complex. Proteins that carry the nutrients into the bloodstream need to be in our diet for the absorption of iron.If you do decide to increase your iron intake through iron supplements. It is important to choose one that is kind on your stomach and strong on absorption. While ferrous sulfate is considered the ‘gold standard’, these tablets may cause gut irritation leading to constipation and nausea.

Active Iron contains a non-constipating iron formula that uses innovative technology to target the body’s natural site of absorption in the small intestine. Active Iron is clinically proven to have x2 better absorption of ferrous sulfate and is kind enough to take on an empty stomach.

Iron is an essential nutrient in our blood. Due to blood loss during menstruation, people who have periods may need to supplement their iron intake. If you have periods, you need to consume 18 mg per day of iron, while people who don’t get periods need only 8 mg per day .Iron supplements & food changes won't affect an underlying cause of excess bleeding during your period. If you have heavy periods, it is worth consulting your doctor
