I find iron supplements a little digestivly challenging. Maltopher was better than Ferrograd-C. Syrup was better than any pills, but way more expensive.

Seconding Maltofer as the gold standard, though it is priced accordingly!

When I need it, I pick up Wagner Ferro-Sustain (cheap and relatively kind to the gut) and Cenovis Kids Vitamin C (250mg is enough to complement the iron without causing much further upset on an empty stomach).
