Symptoms have disappeared

I can't live without this. During childbirth, I suffered a sore throat and fever monthly and felt desperate after multiple visits to the otolaryngology department. After learning I might be deficient in iron and zinc, I began taking this supplement, and my symptoms vanished. Initially, I tried domestic brands but found they lacked iron, so I switched to Now Foods, which offers far more iron at a better price. Though the smell was initially off-putting, I became accustomed to it over time. I recommend buying from either iHerb or Rakuten, depending on pricing.

Effective for discomfort
13 people found this helpful
I usually take 18mg but increased it to 36mg during my period for convenience. I was relieved that the capsule size hasn’t changed. I often feel discomfort in my throat, akin to a foreign body sensation, particularly during stressful periods. I find it very effective for these symptoms and will keep taking it.

Symptoms alleviated again
2 people found this helpful
I began taking this after learning that symptoms like a blocked throat and difficulty swallowing may stem from iron deficiency. After about two weeks, my symptoms improved. However, when I switched to another iron supplement, my symptoms returned. Upon resuming this one, the symptoms subsided again. While I haven't been diagnosed as anaemic, I think my ferritin levels were low, and I feel this supplement has effectively raised them. I intend to continue using it.

Less dizziness
Due to an inadequate iron intake from my diet, I purchased this after reading reviews. After one week, my morning anaemia has improved significantly! The dizzy spells during my menstruation have also eased. I’d like to keep using this despite the noticeable iron smell when I drink it. I managed to mask the iron odour by mixing it with protein and coffee, making it easier to consume quickly.

Alleviates discomfort
Excellent! I bought it for myself and consistently take it. Before, I used picolinate but decided to switch to these lozenges and haven’t regretted it (even though the zinc is in a different form)! They have a pleasant taste and soften my throat during absorption. Zinc sometimes makes me feel nauseous (as noticed with pharmaceutical preparations), but I didn’t have that problem here. If you're sensitive, avoid taking it on an empty stomach. I see the effect, and at the onset of a sore throat, I take it every 2 hours to alleviate discomfort. I recommend it!

Improved swallowing ease
I’ve tried iron supplements from various manufacturers, but this has been the best experience. I struggled with a tight feeling in my throat, but I felt improvement the day after I began taking it.

Regulated blood tests
1 people found this helpful
Since elementary school, I've had severe anaemia, almost collapsing at times, but I’ve been taking iHerb iron for 10 years, leading to normal blood tests. Whenever I stop, my period ceases, so I consistently take two tablets daily while menstruating. My goal is to boost my ferritin levels through regular measurements. This supplement is easy to swallow, doesn't cause throat irritation, and doesn't upset my stomach.

Ulcers improved
I had a stomatitis of unknown cause that didn’t improve despite taking a vitamin B supplement. After starting this product daily, my mouth ulcers have improved significantly. I plan to continue taking it.

Congestion significantly improved
It’s recommended! I’ve been taking NOW Iron, Omega 3, and Niacinamide for about two weeks. The feeling of congestion in my throat has improved, and my sleep quality has also enhanced; I no longer feel excessively drowsy during the day. I’ve been feeling well for the last three days, so I’ll continue!

Dizziness alleviated
This is a good supplement to take alongside Vitamin C. My tests revealed a deficiency in ferritin and iron, and the composition suited my needs. I experienced dizziness due to iron deficiency. After taking this supplement, I found relief. I can't comment on the taste, but there's no heartburn, and the capsule size is manageable, so it doesn't get stuck in my throat. The packaging also arrived intact.
