Solgar Gentle Iron (Iron Bisglycinate) 25 mg - 90 Vegetable Capsules - Non-Constipating, Gentle on Your Stomach - Non-GMO, Gluten Free - 90 Servings

I have been suffering from fibroids for some time and recently had to have a hysterectomy due my large fibroids since they were causing me to become extremely anemic. Even though, I had built up my hemoglobin levels in order to have surgery; I lost a lot of blood during the surgery and wound up anemic again. A normal healthy woman is supposed to have a hemoglobin level between 12-16 and after surgery mine fell to a 7.1. I was told to eat iron rich foods and in time my hemoglobin levels would rise but I just felt awful that first week that I was home due mostly to the anemia because I would get out of breath easily with exertion and my face looked sallow (brownish yellowish color) and I was extremely tired. I knew I had to take action and ordered Solgar's gentle iron. Unlike, the ferrous sulfate form of iron; iron biglycinate is not constipating at all. And did not cause digestion problems like even ferrous gluconate (like Fergon) can also cause. I went to my OBGYN today to follow up after my surgery and they did a hemoglobin check and mine was 12.6. And they were blown away that I had gotten my numbers up so quickly and how healthy that I looked. I no longer need to take an iron supplement because just eating a healthy diet with iron rich food will maintain and enrich my hemoglobin levels and I would not want to get "iron overload" from having too much iron in my blood since I no longer need to have my levels checked because too much iron can lead to cancer.

I have been using this for a long time for low iron. It seems to be helping me.

This iron is very gentle on my stomach as I usually have a hard time digesting iron supplements. I also appreciate the dosage so that I’m not getting too much at once.

I am always always always anemic. Ugh. It is so frustrating. Like terribly low iron and small and thin red blood cells according to my hematologist. Oh. Why do I have to go to a hematologist? Because every iron pill feels like it is going to burn a hole in my gut while also making me nauseous. So I have to go to the hematologist every few months to have iron infusions which is iron in an i.v. The iron infusions do the trick but man do you feel like absolute crap for a couple days after. Like you have the flu. So anyways. Slow fe hurts my tummy. But these I decided to try and SUCCESS! No stomach pain. At. All. Zero problems with these whatsoever. Another good thing to add if you're trying to get better blood results is Blood Builder by some company I can't remember the name of. Just search blood builder and you will find it. Some like supplements made from foods or something.

Possibly TMI, but this product is far better on my digestive system than the typical iron supplements I usually buy from the store.

I began taking iron because I had become very anemic and I chose this particular product because I had taken iron pills in the past but had always experienced a lot of stomach pain, constipation, etc. and therefore I wasn't every good about actually taking the pills like I should have. I had read reviews about this "gentle" formula and decided to give it a try; I'm really glad that I did! Since I've started taking it, my iron levels have risen to acceptable levels and I can honestly say that it hasn't bothered my stomach or caused any bowel irritation at all, much to my surprise. It's been about a year since I first purchased this and I've been consistently taking it since. A couple of other family members have also started using it and have experienced the same positive results, so I would highly recommend this to ANYONE.

I have a hereditary blood condition that keeps me extremely anemic most of the time. I have had terrible experiences with oral iron in the past. i have tried every brand of iron supplement I can find and it is always the same thing - stomach pains, tasting the horrible iron all day, nausea and many other stomach problems so severe I couldn't continue taking the iron. Sogar-Gentle Iron is the first oral iron I have taken that creates no problems for me at all. It is easy to swallow, and it is so gentle I forget I have taken it. That seems simple, but it is the very first time there have been no problems when i take it. I recommend it for anyone taking oral iron. A bonus is the capsule itself is "veggie" so if you do not consume animal products, this supplement is perfect for you.

I needed to supplement my iron but really struggle with the tummy side effects of regular iron. This worked well and didn't hurt my tummy! Worth a try.

Muy buen suplemento de hierro. Al ser bisglicinato, se nota que es más suave: nada de molestias digestivas ni estreñimiento, algo que se agradece mucho. Las cápsulas son fáciles de tomar y la calidad de la marca transmite confianza. Con el uso constante se va notando más energía.

Llevo consumiendo esta marca de hierro desde hace más de medio año y realmente noto cambios. Antes me daban mareos por tener el hierro bajo, ya no sufro esos mareos y me noto con mucha energía. Es apto para personas con estómago sensible.

My ferritin was at an alright level of 54.3µg/L, but I decided to increase it for further health benefits. I have been taking a mix of "iron and other supplements" for a year, but only during the day after meals. After a recent blood test I saw that my iron level has not moved at all in a year! I cannot highlight this enough - the only way to get iron absorbed is you need to take it in the morning on empty stomach with Vitamin C (at least 500?). I also have very sensitive stomach so had to try these ones. That's what I did for a week - I did take more than the recommended dose, but that was my choice. Just so it happened that I had another scheduled blood test at the end of that week and my iron level was now 56.3µg/L. Basically ferritin increased by 2µg/L in one week. Pretty confident this supplement did this and I will continue now with this approach until I get it to at least 100µg/L. Also, no stomach ache or other side effects! I will update my review when I do another blood test. 3/26 UPDATE: Just had a blood test, iron is 99.9µg/L !!! I'm super happy, hair seems to be growing much stronger and I never feel tired. For the comments who say "I've had it for a week and feel a great effect", these people are wrong. It takes ages and hard work to up the iron, further at least 3-6 months to see difference in hair (my dermatologist said you need +90 for good hair growth). Best of luck and stay consistent

Estas cápsulas las compré porque tenía 9 en hierro ya que acababa de salir de una cesárea , al pasar dos meses me hice una analítica y salí con 12,9 sin duda la recomiendo por que cumple su cometido, la cantidad de pastillas dan para tres meses y el precio me parece justo

Em producto es sabido que es inmejorable. Pero en este caso he pedido de 25mg y me ha llegado uno de 20mg. Tengo que tomarlo igualmente que me hace falta pero dejo constancia.
