No problem. My doctor had me on Palafar (ferrous fumerate) 300 mg to start and then up to 600 mg. Unfortunately, I did not respond to the oral supplementation after over 6 months of treatment. Since the shots, I continue to supplement with Slow-Fe. I haven't tried beef ferritin. On a website called "The Way Up", I saw a supplement which is a liver extract. I was really interested in trying it, but the doctor who runs the site, Priscilla Spagle (I think that's her name) said it would not be strong enough for me given my deficiency issues. Beef ferritin might be ok if you are only moderately deficient.
