We explored whether iron deficiency anemia is connected to chronic daily headaches in a group of 100 patients compared to an equal number of controls.
The study revealed a significant link between iron deficiency anemia and chronic daily headaches. Interestingly, those with severe anemia experienced more intense headache symptoms.
While other iron-related factors were associated with headaches, the type and duration of headaches did not seem to vary significantly among patients.

Gentle on stomach
97 people found this helpful
I would definitely purchase these again. I feel much better after taking them. The iron does not upset my stomach or cause headaches. In fact, this supplement has been very gentle on my stomach, avoiding the usual issues I have with iron supplements. I would recommend these to anyone who is uncertain about iron supplements. The price is excellent with double strength composition!

Headaches relieved

I bought this as prescribed by my doctor for premenstrual headaches. My daughter has heavy menstruation and often suffered from headaches. After starting this supplement, her headaches have disappeared, and she feels invigorated. It is effective, does not cause constipation, and instead, it has a softening effect, although the colour and smell are quite particular!

Headache disappearance

My haemoglobin improved from 92 to 115 within a month while taking one capsule daily. I felt immediate relief from weakness, headaches, and dizziness. This iron supplement is well absorbed, and it suits those with low ferritin levels. Pairing it with B vitamins enhances absorption, and there’s no constipation—just a gentle effect overall. I highly recommend this iron supplement for better health.

Improved physical condition

I'm pleased with my purchase! It's been a month since I began taking it, and my light-headedness, irritability, and headaches have vanished. I feel there's plenty of iron in my body now. I plan to take it before and after my period since iron absorption is crucial for me as someone who is typically anaemic. The child-proof lid is a thoughtful touch for safety.

I continued giving iron to my family, but I started experiencing headaches. A blood test showed sufficient iron, but an excessive amount seems to have triggered the headache, and I’ve stopped taking it now.

Instant migraine relief
9 people found this helpful
This iron supplement has been my lifesaver as it instantly relieves my migraines during menstruation. I often experienced headaches at this time due to my anaemia. Since starting this supplement, headaches disappear within 20 minutes. I’m almost finished with my first bottle and will definitely order again. The capsules are small and odourless, making them easy to take.

Reduced painkillers
4 people found this helpful
I suffered from headaches about twice a month and often relied on painkillers. I was sceptical about iron deficiency, but after taking this supplement for five months, my headaches became less frequent, and I've reduced my need for painkillers. It darkens my stool, but I expect that due to the iron content.

Nausea and headache

It doesn’t suit me. I experienced terrible nausea and abdominal pain with a headache after taking it. I realised I need to improve my constitution to handle iron supplements properly.

Effective for anaemia
2 people found this helpful
Having suffered from anaemia since childhood, my condition worsened after childbirth with severe headaches and dizziness. The doctor prescribed pharmaceutical iron, but I couldn't tolerate it. I tried this iron, and my ferritin levels increased. After taking it for two months, I now only use it during menstruation. It must be taken with vitamin C and not with coffee, tea, or dairy due to absorption issues.

Headache alleviated
2 people found this helpful
I have many menstrual periods and take 3 capsules at dinner and 3 at breakfast from the first to the fourth day of menstruation. The headache completely disappears. Initially, I didn’t consume protein, which seemed to hinder iron absorption, worsening my headache and anaemia. Since I began taking 1/100 of my body weight in protein daily, the iron I ingest seems to be absorbed well, and I no longer experience anaemia or headaches.

Life-changing effects
9 people found this helpful
This is incredibly effective for fatigue and headaches, especially post-childbirth. I wish I had discovered this sooner! I take three tablets before bed, and I notice a difference immediately. After significant blood loss during childbirth, my energy levels improved tremendously the next day. I feel revitalised and headache-free after using it for two and a half months. I highly recommend it!

Effective for headaches
7 people found this helpful
I suffered from severe headaches before and after my period, believed to be linked to iron deficiency. On days when the headaches were intense, I took three to four pills, and soon after, the headaches would vanish. If you experience similar issues, I strongly recommend taking iron supplements; they’ve been very effective for me, and the capsules are small and easy to swallow.
