Why do I get an extra iron/copper tablet with a chewable vitamin?

Modified on Mon, 20 Mar, 2023 at 2:20 PM

A chewable tablet does not contain iron and copper. The reason for this is that chewing on high doses of iron and copper can be unpleasant. It can even hurt. That’s why you get a separate Ferro tablet with iron and copper if you choose chewable multivitamins. Make sure there is a gap of at least 2 hours between the intake of calcium supplements, dairy products and iron (Ferro tablet). Calcium reduces the absorption of iron.
