For no known cause, my blood tests have shown borderline anemia off and on for years when I do not take iron supplements. "Normal" 27-35 mg doses tear up my gut and give me terrible diarrhea. I have found that this low dose of iron taken with one 250 mg Kirkman vitamin C capsule pushed my blood levels into the normal range within a few months. Iron needs a little vitamin C to hold its hand and walk it into the blood stream! I have been following this routine for the last 18 months and blood tests no longer show any anemia. I am back to my usual energetic self. Thank you Kirkman Labs! BTW I take my iron and vitamin C with dinner and never have any stomach pain from it.

Perfect amount of iron to help with anemia. Easy to take.

Really gives me energy. I can’t take more than one pill per day. And I think it works best for me if I take it every other day, ONLY IN THE MORNINGS. Probably the best supplement, FOR ME, in my supplement arsenal for energy. Better than coffee. Although I have to have my coffee throughout the day. I’ve got the feeling that some people may need more than I take. And for some people taking any iron at all could be really harmful. There are blood tests you can take if you want to be ultra safe.

I bought these for my 11 year old grandson, who is a little iron deficient, which is causing restless leg syndrome during the night. A common issue with low iron. The prescription iron is pretty gross, so we thought we’d try this. The capsules are very small so he has no problem taking them. He hasn’t had any gastrointestinal issues, even when taking them first thing in the morning without food. It can take a long time for a supplement to raise iron levels, we’re talking months, so I have no idea about that yet. Just a tip if you can’t swallow it with water…my grandson takes a small bite of food, chews it and then pushes the pill into his mouth and swallows it. Does the job! Will update if any issues arise.

I dont take this every day, Iron has given me constipation if I use daily, So I take a few times per week. It seams to give me some extra energy throughout the week

Works very well and is non-allergenic

It's Good Stuff & Gentle on the Stomach. Have had no stomach issues with taking this Form & Brand of Iron. This is the iron I always order for the past 3 years.

Seniors have a smaller requirement for iron and I usually buy regular vitamins that have a 2 capsule dose and then I only take one to limit how much iron I get, but recently my preferred vitamins were out of stock and the only similar type available was a senior version that had no iron at all. I do better when I take some iron, so I have been using these little 5 mg iron pills for several months now, they provide a conveniently small amount (I normally take two, when I only took one I was wearing out in the middle of my normal walk, though probably were several factors involved).
