Beet pectin improves gut health
We investigated how a sour-milk drink enriched with beet pectin could help patients with constipation and irritable bowel syndrome.

Our study revealed improvements in the gut's microbiome, along with a decrease in harmful bacteria.

In contrast, kefir, which served as a comparison, showed less effectiveness in managing symptoms and did not significantly impact harmful gut microorganisms.

Thus, incorporating beet pectin into dietary interventions appears promising for those struggling with these gastrointestinal challenges.

The quality is excellent with great ingredients. It doesn’t cause constipation, and the packaging is impressive. I’ve had a wonderful experience, and it effectively compensates for iron deficiency. Overall health has improved, and it crucially includes vitamin C.

Really happy with these. I bought these after an ER visit for heart palpitations and extreme fatigue, resulting in a diagnosis of anaemia; my friend suggested them to avoid constipation, which complicates my existing medical condition. I began taking them last week while experiencing that issue, and these Mini Blood Builders actually HELPED rather than worsened the situation. The pills are small and easy to take. My energy level has increased significantly, and I will continue purchasing these.

Please continue making this product, as it’s the best! I love how it benefits my body, especially during menstruation. They come in mini-tabs, which is perfect since I struggle with swallowing large pills. Unlike the usual iron pills, these don't cause constipation, and they provide the energy I need. Highly recommended!

Fantastic iron supplement! After struggling with low ferritin and the side effects of Ferrous Sulfate, I switched to Mega Foods Blood Builder. I've had no side effects including constipation since starting it, and I've been feeling much better overall!

Improved blood work
3 people found this helpful
It worked. I have taken Blood Builders for years and have seen my blood work improve over time. I recently stopped because my H/H was on the high side of normal, allowing me to donate blood for the first time in decades. I began my mum on it too with positive results. A relative, a critical care doctor, took my advice and started this iron supplement after recognising it as a suitable option for themselves. Although it’s a large tablet, I have no issue swallowing it. It has no taste and does not cause constipation, I highly recommend this iron supplement.

Caused constipation
I’m uncertain about this product as it caused me severe constipation, which I couldn’t tolerate. I’ll try to give it another chance in the hope that it improves.
