BariMelts Iron with Vitamin C Dissolving Tablets

Overview

Barimelts makes a fast-dissolving iron tablet combined with vitamin C, sold 90 to a bottle for a one month supply and flavored orange. It's built for bariatric patients and other women who need a sugar-free iron supplement that doesn't require swallowing a pill.

Pairing iron with vitamin C follows the standard advice to take iron alongside vitamin C for better absorption, so the two are combined into one dissolving tablet rather than two separate pills. The fast-dissolving, sugar-free format targets bariatric patients specifically, a group for whom standard swallowed tablets and sugared supplements can both be a problem.

• 90 fast-dissolving tablets, 1 month supply
• Iron 54 mg (carbonyl iron) with vitamin C 90 mg
• Sugar-free, orange flavor
• Gluten free

Who it's for

Suits women, particularly bariatric patients, who need a sugar-free iron supplement in a dissolving format rather than a swallowed tablet. Less relevant for anyone who doesn't need the fast-dissolving delivery, since standard iron tablets are typically cheaper.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Iron, as carbonyl iron, is paired with vitamin C as ascorbic acid at 90 mg per tablet, following the common practice of taking the two together for absorption. The fast-dissolving format removes the need to swallow a pill, which matters most for bariatric patients whose surgery can make standard tablets harder to tolerate.
