NOW Supplements, Iron 18 mg, Non-Constipating*, Essential Mineral, 120 Veg Capsules

So far, I've had very few problems with this, but the plastic wrap that was over the bottle was cut off so I removed it then opened it a finger hole was visible on the foil top. It was manufactured at NOW, so this took place before it left the Now is the time to invest in quality assurance.

I've found the first iron pills that have worked for my anemia problems without causing me any stomach upsets. There has never been an iron pill that has been able to keep my iron levels healthy without producing side effects. thankful for the reviews because this is what got me to try this product in the first place. I will never pick another iron type. As I've added this item to my amazon repeat shopping list, it will be added every time I buy it.

NOW Foods are amazing. Clean and inexpensive. They support missions as well. I think it's a This product was purchased because I felt like I might be low in iron (I was diagnosed in the past, so I was aware of this My body began to function better after I started taking one capsule every night.

As a result of getting a full panel of blood work done and seeing that almost no iron was present in my body, I spoke to my brother (who is a health enthusiast) and he told me to look into the issue of low iron in women and thinning hair. I came across a lot of information on women's thinning hair issues, as well as having low iron without being anemic. In light of my research, I went back to my endocronolgoist, who confirmed that having such low iron could be contributing to my issue. She prescribed me 325mg of ferrous sulfate (which is equal to There is a 600% increase in this dosage in comparison to the recommended daily iron intake I had that low an iron level. After I reviewed my previous blood tests at my annual physical exam, it was evident that it had been that way for years, but because my ferritin level was at the very bottom of the wide range or big gap of what is considered normal, my doctor did not mention anything concerning about it. It is for this reason, to some degree, that I have learned that taking charge of your healthcare is really the best option. Anyway, after only taking the medications for two or three days, I was in so much pain that I had to leave work frequently. You may also be constipated as a result of the prescription drugs. My endocrinologist told me that I'd need to take those pills for about a year to get my iron and ferritin levels up to par, but I knew that there was no way I was going to suffer for that long because they so significantly diminished my quality of life. Then I started looking for alternatives right away, and this medication caught my attention. My next blood test was 30 days away, and when I took the pills, I had no stomach cramps, no nausea, and I wasn't constipated at all it was the best way to deal with the symptoms. It is especially important to have food in your stomach before taking the pills since they can upset your stomach if you take them I have 11 ferritin before I took these pills in Aug 2013. For clarity, I am basing my review on this fact. On a scale of 1 to 11, 6 is the best. On a scale of 50-100, I had an iron level of 27 and a total of 307 A month after my initial blood draw, I will return for another blood draw As of my last blood test, I had a ferritin level of 17 and a iron level of My jaw dropped when I saw that! The research I read states that you need to increase ferritin levels to at least 70 for several months to notice any significant differences in hair, but I can tell you that taking these pills alone (2 pills two times a day) definitely made a big difference in my hair! As a result, I had to build my iron stores with much more iron Iron, since I found it a difficult to build up) and I didn't want to pop the pills all day, I now take these with Ferret's Iron Supplement since it has 106 elements in one pill. The Now iron pills have been a huge help to me. I began taking them beginning in Oct 2013 first thing in the morning with a tangerine (it helps absorb iron) and at least 2 hours before eating dairy (dairy decreases iron absorption). I also take a Ferretts Iron Supplement pill at night and a 1000 mg of Vitamin C before I go to sleep and after my 3rd blood test on Nov 6, 2013 I was surprised to discover that my iron level has increased to 168 and my ferritin is 49! In addition, either of these two products increased my iron levels naturally, which is why I am so happy I chose it! If you try either of these two products, you will also be happy! You may be able to get by just fine with these pills even if you don't need as much iron as I do.

I learned after I bought it that it is not very absorbent All carbonyl iron has been proven to be 100% absorbent. A little more pricey but worth it, and it does not cause constipation.

To treat restless leg syndrome*, I take this to boost my ferritin levels up into the upper half of normal range. It doesn't really matter what kind of iron supplement you take, but all the others I've tried weren't as well tolerated as this one, which isn't causing any side effects for me. The iron levels of people with restless legs are usually in the low normal range because they tend to lose iron. ( *Researchers have found that people with restless legs tend to lose iron so that their iron levels are usually low. Those with symptoms that are aggravated by low levels of iron can greatly benefit from a supplement to bring their iron levels to the middle range. I found it to be effective. However, I must take an iron supplement nearly every day in order to maintain my iron levels.

The iron in this form of Iron is superior to ferrous sulfate when it comes to I still experienced side effects from it. Despite not having the extreme constipation effects that other forms of iron have, it still has many benefits. The pill made me extremely bloated with gas, so much that I felt like I was pregnant, plus there was a great deal of muscle discomfort. In addition, I took this product for 10 days and since it caused side effects It has become a habit for me not to take The side effects of this drug disappeared within 24 hours, but returned 48 hours later when I took it for a brief time. My prescription is past its expiration date now, and I will have to eat more foods like Cream of Wheat and Grits that contain iron as well as foods that are fortified with iron. In general, I found this product to be very energetic, plus, I do suspect myself to be somewhat anemic due to the fact that my periods have been heavier lately as a result of perimenopause.
