Hi,
Metallic iron is attracted to magnet.But iron is present as compound or in the form of salt in tablets (like iron sulphate, fumarate). Hence they wont be attracted by magnet. You can use Ferrous fumarate or Ferrous ascorbate containing iron tablets.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
