4.0 out of 5 stars Easy way to take tablets out from the packaging April 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
Its too early to comment on the effectiveness of this pill, but I share the pain which everybody is feeling about the packaging of these tablets. While trying different ways to make it easier, I found a way which will ease your pain and make it very easy to remove tablets from its strip.

Take warm water in a bowl and dip the whole strip in the water for few minutes. Since packaging is water proof, tablets are safe. After few minutes, remove the strip from the water and start peeling the paper backing. The paper should be easily peeled off now in one piece and you'll end up with only silver foil backing which should bring smile on your face and no more fighting with the packaging :)

Once the paper backing is removed, wipe the strip dry and store it back in the box.

I had a hemoglobin level of 8. A rather dangerous low level of iron. I ordered the tablets. I had been taking a different brand. But, after, starting on these, I felt much better. I have not had my levels drawn again. But, they have made a difference in how I feel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product but why can't I find it anymore?
This iron supplement has been great for increasing iron levels with no side effects, but why isn't it available anywhere? All the local drugstores and shops don't sell it anymore.

I switched to another brand because the packaging was totally ridiculous. You need a set of barb wire cutters to get to them.
