I've always been low in iron but I resist taking iron pills because of the constipation they always bring on. However with these pills I haven't had any problems in that area which is pretty amazing. So this product definitely delivers on that promise!

I am serious, stop looking for your perfect iron supplement, it does not exists outside of this product! I have struggled with iron deficiencies for years, over one third of my life now. I have tried it all and sure you will find some that do work but they often have colors in them and worse will always bind up your insides until the end of time! No amount of laxative truly helps and, of course, if you've had children, like me, and struggle with hemorrhoids at the slightest back up... Now one must juggle taking iron and passing blood. Passing blood makes the anemia worse, and taking iron makes the hemorrhoids and passing blood worse. It is an endless and awful cycle of misery in which, in the end, I often decide to live with my anemia. BUT NO LONGER!! Oh how I love this Iron Supplement let me count the ways... It doesn't back me up, it doesn't back me up, it doesn't back me up!! Yes, I did mean to write that out 3 times because it is so important. But wait there is more! Within 2 weeks the dark circles under my eyes (often caused by either anemia or allergies) gone, my gums now have a nice dark pink color and are not pale, I am not dying when I try to run up the stairs, I don't feel like I am always out of breath. Within a week of taking this I went from barely able to do 10 minutes of cardio to 40 minutes easy. This stuff works!<br />Bare in mind, iron is best taken with foods high in vitamin C. Do not take with yogurt, milk, or other dairy products or it will inhibit your body's ability to absorb the iron. Other than that, as I have previously stated, this is amazing, it works, it doesn't bind you up. Why are you still reading this? Have you yet to be convinced of its awesomeness?? Just buy it. If you're still worried about getting backed up buy some magnesium at most that is all you'll need which is crazy because before I would need magnesium, copious amounts of black coffee, and a colon cleanse pill plus a prayer to go and most times that didn't even work. Just buy it.

I have tried several different types of iron and most of them gave me some level of GI discomfort, so I was excited to try this after reading the rave reviews. Unfortunately, this one had the worst side effects I have ever experienced from an iron pill. I took the supplement after a full meal and initially would feel what I thought was heartburn (it like there was something lodged under my sternum), then my stomach would be in pain for several hours. I kept hoping that maybe the product was not to blame (maybe I ate something bad?) But after trying it at least 5 times during or after different meals, I am sure it was the pills. They went directly into the trash.

We can get the iron we need from iron rich foods but sometimes we are still left with a low level of iron in our bodies. I myself have always been a bit anemic, when I was a vegitarian, when I was a pescatarian and when I just started eating meat again thinking it was just my lack of meat that was causing my low iron levels despite eating all the high iron veggies. So, I’m one of those people that has to take iron supplements to not be weak and sickly looking haha. Without the proper amount of iron our bodies get anemic (me) and your body can’t get enough oxygen due to your body not making enough of those healthy oxygen carrying red blood cells.<br /><br />I tried these out to see how I felt physically, since I get lethargic when I’m low on iron I wanted to see how these worked out for me. I felt pretty normal, not as tired and able to go about my day! I didn’t have any weird side effects or any issues with them, no after taste or odd burps or anything. I mention that only because I’ve had issues in the past with burping up a weird taste with other iron supplements. This one’s pretty awesome, no issues with it.<br /><br />**I received a free product for a review. My opinions are 100% honest and my own.**

This seems to be a good product because they make the iron more bioavailable by adding vitamin C. It never gave me any cramps or constipation like folks say with certain supplements, but this is the only iron supplement I have every used. Just remember that iron toxicity is also bad and perhaps worse than a defficiency. I used maybe half this bottle before I felt like I no longer needed it. Chlorella is also high in iron and can be mixed with lemon juice and water for easy absorption in the morning. Just remember that calcium creates some interference with iron absorption. I don't know hoe much that really matters, because if you look at a food like kale, it contains iron, calcium and vitamin C among other things. The interference is there but it may not be too big of a deal unless you are really anemic or lost blood for any reason. Please make an informed decision though, I am no MD.

Packaging was good, delivery was fast! But everytime I take this supplement, I get a headache. Not a very bad one, but bad enough to distract me. I stopped it and headache is gone. I am a supplement person because my diet is severely lacking in essential nutrients. This is the only supplement that gave me headache. Maybe because the iron dose is a little high. I don't know. Aside from that, it is a good product
