Iron Suppliment


I researched about iron suppliments. The point are the amount of iron for 1 day and the price of 100 mg iron. The price is the one on the rakuten shops.

Iron

Iron is required about 10-12 mg everyday.

DHC ヘム鉄

2 tablets for 1 day. It’s 1414 yen. It includes vitamin B12 and folic acid.

2 tablets includes 10 mg iron and the package contain 900 mg iron. The post tax price for 100 mg iron is 157.1yen (小数第2位以下切り捨て).

ネイチャーメイド 鉄

Nature Made Iron Family Type. 2 tablets for 1 day. It contain 200 tablets for 100 days. It costs 1674 yen after tax.

2 tablets for 1 day contains 6 mg iron. 1日の必要量をサプリメントで摂るのではなく、サプリメントはあくまで補助というスタンスです。 Nature Made で鉄分を10mg程度摂取するなら1日3,4粒必要です。 全体では 600mg 入っています。 鉄 100mg では 税込み 279円 です。

mostchowable iron

モストチュアブル 鉄分 プルーン味は 1日2粒 で 180日分 入っています。 税込み 1018円 です。

1日分で鉄は 10mg 含まれており、 全体では 1800mg 含まれています。 鉄 100mg あたり 税込み 56.5円 になる計算です。 ビタミンB6、ビタミンB12、ビタミンC、葉酸も入ってこの価格なので、 比較的安いと思います。

SPEED BODY Iron

SPEED BODY Iron is made in America. 1 tablet for 1 day. It contains for 120 days. The post-tax price is 934 yen.

1日分でなんと 鉄18mg が含まれており、 全体では 2160mg にもなります。 鉄 100mg あたりの価格は 税込み 43.2円 です。

SOURCE NATURALS IRON

This is made in America, too. 1日1粒 で 100日分入って 税込み 690円 です。

1日分で鉄は 25mg 含まれていて、 全体では 2500mg です。 鉄 100mg あたり 税込み 27円 になります。 半分に割って食べても1日分の鉄を食べられます。

Summary

価格ではアメリカのものがとにかく安いという結果となりました。 今回調べた中では ネイチャーメイド 鉄 のみが 1日分で10mgを下回っていました。

摂りすぎると肝臓の負担になりかねないことからも ネイチャーメイド 鉄 の鉄の量は事故を起こさない良心的な量といえます。

How to involve those who are taciturn into discussion


There is taciturn person in discussion. I introduce the way to let such a person speak. (I omit ice-breaking because it is the method for all persons.)

Premise

Preparation for discussion like clarifying the goal of it is already done. I suppose 1 or 2 person is taciturn in discussion.

( If any valuable opinion doesn’t appear, you may have problem in preparation or proceeding.)

Why you want to hear opinions from all members?

What does occur when there is taciturn person?

  • He say “I thought XX is the best solution” after the discussion.
  • You can’t reach everyone’s agreement and you can’t reach best solution.

Namely, discussion purpose fades away, I think.

Control the number of discussion members, first. It is difficult to discuss over all members when the number of members is greater than 10. I think appropriate number is 6. Please rethink it according to discussion format and content.

Now, I introduce the way to involve everyone into discussion.

Method

Give a role to the person

“I would be appreciated if you could talk from the aspect of XXX in the next discussion. So please join.”

The word should be changed according to your position. Like above, telling “What I want to do” in advance helps him to understand what kind of opinion to speak and how to look the discussion, and make it easy for him to express his opinion.

Ask the person for his opinion in advance

Ask him “What do you think about it?” in advance, individually. Then, if he become taciturn in discussion, you can spread discussion by saying “You have opinion that XXX is YYY, right?”.

Give a task to the person in advance

Opinion doesn’t appear if there is no hint. So give him a task in advance. “Prepare 2 or 3 solution about XXX.” In the discussion, you can proceed with prepared opinions.

That’s a matter of course to prepare for discussion in advance, but some people never prepare until they said to prepare.

Workshop for a small groups

This is effective when discussion member is many. Divide members into groups consists of 3 members and ask them write opinions on post-it. (Or write opinions individually.) In this way, the person who can’t speak in discussion tend to write opinion. Paste written post-it to whiteboard and make discussion deep. It relates to affinity diagram.

You can make discussion deep for each opinion (or selected opinion or categorized opinion), so you can trigger to make him speak by saying “Could you explain what this opinion saying?”

It is OK to write opinion onto post-it by 3 member group with discussing, and to write opinion individually.

Ask the person about his specialty

Suppose members gathered from several sections. Then, ask him “Mr. X, how can you see this issue from YYY aspect?” And after his answer, “Thank you. I was really helped, there’s no person with YYY specialty knowledge.” Thus, involve taciturn persons.

The case this method can be used is may be limited.

Make a rule

Make a rule, “Everyone should put opinion”. Opinion doesn’t appear however strongly he said to put, but such rule make him think about to putting opinion.

Expect Next Time

If he didn’t put any opinion in spite of your really struggling, ask him “Was there something wrong, you looked somehow curious?” Please, take attention to the telling way. This method tells him “we want you to put your opinion” softly.
