We explored the effects of iron supplementation on individuals suffering from iron deficiency, specifically looking at its impact on symptoms like chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). This was done through a well-structured study involving 176 blood donors who were iron deficient, with a randomized controlled trial design.
Participants were assigned to receive either intravenous iron or oral iron supplements. Over an 8-12 week period, we assessed changes in symptoms related to iron deficiency, including CFS, restless legs syndrome (RLS), sleeping disorders, and overall quality of life.
The results indicated that iron supplementation may significantly improve the symptoms associated with iron deficiency among blood donors. By addressing the iron deficiency, we noted improvements not only in fatigue but also in wellbeing, confirming that targeted iron treatment can be beneficial for those struggling with chronic fatigue linked to low iron levels. This is an exciting finding for both clinicians and patients, shedding light on a relatively simple intervention that can enhance quality of life.

Fatigue lifted completely

I consistently struggle with low haemoglobin levels, reflecting noticeably on my health and causing constant tiredness. The iron in pharmacies is expensive and often of questionable quality. After three months of taking this vitamin, my fatigue has vanished, and blood tests revealed excellent results! I wholeheartedly recommend it!

It works wonders for me! I felt utterly fatigued for a couple of weeks without understanding why. After researching possible causes, I suspected an iron deficiency and started taking one capsule daily. Within a week, I noticed an incredible improvement. Highly recommended!

Reduced dizziness
I have suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome for years, and iron supplements didn't suit me. However, after trying this one, I experienced no stomach upset, and my symptoms improved significantly, with dizziness greatly reduced and less fatigue overall. I was surprised by my severe iron deficiency! Though 18mg might be excessive for me, I plan to adjust to every other day, as the capsules are easy to swallow and odourless, ensuring I continue usage long-term.

Having incorporated NOW Foods Iron 18mg into my daily routine for several months, I've experienced notable enhancements in my energy and overall well-being. I occasionally face fatigue, particularly during busy times, but this supplement has genuinely transformed my energy levels. The dosage adequately supports healthy red blood cell production and oxygen transport. The easy-to-swallow tablets make it simple to include in my routine, and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to bolster their energy and health.

Increased ferritin levels
6 people found this helpful
The drug works! I purchased it for a friend suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, loss of strength, brittle nails, and split ends. Tests indicated low haemoglobin and extremely low ferritin. Initially, I started with 1 capsule alongside fresh orange juice or vitamin C, then increased to 2 capsules. My friend is feeling better now. At the end of the course, she retested and reported an increase in ferritin, though it has yet to reach normal levels. Clearly, the drug is effective.
