My daughter's doctor advised her to take an iron supplement to help her with her chronic anemia.<br />This product caught my eye – Mainly for the form of iron in this pill: as iron bisglycinate, which absorbs further down the intestinal tract than ferrous and therefore helps minimize the GI discomfort common with iron supplementation. It is also combined with vitamin C, which is necessary for good iron absorption, and it also has vitamin B12 and folic acid – important nutrients for young women like my daughter (and for all of us!) I love that it contains nutrients from organic brown rice, organic orange, and organic broccoli in the ingredient list.<br />This bottle contains 90 tablets, with 2 per serving for a 45-day supply – a pretty good value.<br /><br />What I’m not so crazy about – it is very difficult to find information about this company. Nutritional supplement companies often have websites, or at least offer a variety of products. This company does not have a website, and only carries 3 products that I can find. I look for the GMP certified stamp on the bottle for added assurance that what is on the label is accurate in each pill. But this bottle does not have a GMP stamp.<br /><br />So far my daughter has not experienced any GI upset that is a common side effect with taking iron supplements, and she “thinks” she has more energy.<br /><br />For my reasons above, I do recommend this product, but I’d give it 5 stars if there was better information about the company and their practices, and if it had that coveted GMP seal.

I take these for low iron. Does what it is purported to do without negative side effects. It does not have an aftertaste. I'd order again.

PROS:<br />1) Saftey sealed on outside and inside of bottle<br />2) Experation date printed on bottle cap<br />3) No taste when swallowing the pill<br />4) Gentle on stomach with or without food<br />5) Organic, vegan, natural<br />CONS:<br />1) Not evaluated by the FDA<br /><br />I am glad I ordered these iron supplements, with vitamin C, B-12 and folic acid. I have to tell you they make me feel so much better, and I have more energy during my workday. I take one each morning and afternoon, with or without food and have no upset stomach. I taste nothing when taking them with water. I've noticed no constipation at all while taking them.

What I like:<br />- High quality<br />- Easy to swallow<br />- Uses a different form of iron than ferrous sulfate (which doesn't agree with me)<br />- Includes Vitamin C (enhances the absorption of iron)<br />- Gluten free<br /><br />What I don't like:<br />- High calories<br /><br />100 calories per serving for two little tablets seems really high. I'd like to know where those calories are coming from. It says it has rice in it. I can have half a cup of cooked rice for 100 calories. These two tablets are very small. I don't see sugar listed in the ingredients. I've got other supplements that include added sugar that are only 10 calories per serving. Where are all the calories coming from?<br /><br />If you're on a restricted calorie diet for weight loss, 100 calories for these two little pills might be too much of a sacrifice. But other than that this is a great supplement.

This is a higher dosage. Good for anemia. I get anemia from my menstrual cycle and end up with end menstrual migraines. This helps with that and is a nice higher dosage for that time period. Do not seem to be adverse effects. No stomach issues. I take mine with a liposomal vitamin C for absorption. On days I need less, I just take one capsule because to get the full dose, it says to take 2. No complaints or regrets.
