This supplement was recommended to me by my doctor as my Ferritin levels were really low. I have absolutely no problem taking this iron, even on an empty stomache, whereas other iron supplements have made me nauseous.

I have been slightly to moderately anemic since high school but could never take traditional iron supplements (ferrous) because of severe GI side effects. I finally got to the point where a transfusion was imminent and tried this vegan form of iron on the advice of a new family doctor. After three months my iron levels are very much improved - my Hematologist is impressed. There may be a slight aggravation to my existing GI problems (or it could be the bran muffins I've also introduced into my diet) but well worth the benefit. I have been taking 1 a day (25mg) and may be able to reduce the dose in the future if I continue to improve at the current rate. I wish this had been available to me from the beginning. My anemia has been dragging me down for years.

My iron was very low. My doctor/naturopathy gave me this iron to take. It has worked very well and I found it cheaper here on Amazon. Great product.
