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.

Increased iron levels

Effective iron! It raised my ferritin levels. I felt overwhelmed and fatigued, with my ferritin at 18.3 in January. After much research, I opted for this iron bisglycinate, which has a good dosage and quality. I took it twice daily with vitamin C, and my energy improved significantly.

Rapid effect
7 people found this helpful
This iron supplement has been a real eye-opener! Within two days of starting it, I felt noticeable benefits, unlike other supplements that were only 25-27 mg. I’m cautious about potential constipation from the high dosage, but so far, it’s been fine. The packaging is good, and the pills are small and odourless—no unpleasant aspects noted.

This is the best iron supplement! My ferritin levels were alarmingly low at 5, causing constant fatigue, migraines, and dizziness. After taking one capsule daily with vitamin C for three months, my ferritin rose to 71! The results are fantastic compared to previous supplements I've tried. I highly recommend this product!
