Oral iron supplementation is poorly absorbed (typically less than 10% of the dose actually enters circulation), produces consistent GI side effects (constipation, dark stools, cramping), and may take 6 to 12 months to correct a meaningful deficiency. Many patients give up before they finish the protocol — and some genuinely cannot absorb adequate iron orally due to gut malabsorption, post-bariatric surgery anatomy, or chronic inflammation.
Iron Renew 100mg is the standard starting dose for routine iron-deficiency correction — confirmed by ferritin labs (typically under 30 ng/mL). Most patients require 2 to 4 infusions spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart to fully correct iron stores. Heavy menstrual loss, post-pregnancy depletion, and endurance-athlete deficiencies typically respond within 4 to 6 weeks. For severe deficiency (ferritin under 15) or rapid-correction needs, your physician may recommend the higher-dose Iron Renew 200mg ($670) protocol instead.
IV iron requires careful screening and monitoring. TrufaMED requires recent labs (ferritin + CBC within 3 months) before any infusion — we can draw them on-site if needed. Physician presence is continuous throughout the infusion plus a 30-minute observation period. Emergency medications (epinephrine, antihistamines, steroids) are on hand for the rare allergic reaction. Patients with active infection, iron overload (hemochromatosis), or certain liver conditions are screened out at the initial consultation.
