We investigated whether low iron levels might be a factor in chronic cough among women. In our study, twenty-two non-smoking women with chronic unexplained cough and iron deficiency received iron supplementation for two months after initial treatments showed no improvement.

Remarkably, we found that iron therapy led to a significant reduction in cough severity and improved airway sensitivity. This suggests that checking for iron deficiency in women with chronic cough could be beneficial, as replenishing iron may help alleviate their symptoms.

Iron treatment alleviates chronic cough
We investigated the connection between iron deficiency anemia and persistent, tough-to-treat chronic cough. We reported the case of a 53-year-old woman who faced a non-productive cough that didn't respond to standard treatments.

After careful evaluation, we discovered she had anemia. Remarkably, when we treated her iron deficiency with a supplement, her cough resolved after six months. This suggests that addressing iron deficiency may help in cases of unexplained chronic cough where other therapies fail.

Improved energy levels

Works! I learned that I had anaemia almost a year ago, and lethargy, fatigue, and confusion became constant companions. Initially, I attributed this to chronic fatigue and lack of sleep until tests revealed my low ferritin and haemoglobin levels. I sought medical advice and was prescribed Totem, which proved ineffective. After researching, I chose a Solgar product that didn’t irritate my stomach due to my gastritis. Combined with vitamin C and other vitamins, I noticed improvements within a month. I became more energetic and my quality of life improved as my stomach tolerated the medication well. I recommend it for better health!

Normalised iron levels

An effective drug! I was shocked to find out about my low haemoglobin and ferritin levels, leading to a diagnosis of chronic anaemia. After taking this supplement for a month, I noticed improvements in my test results. My haemoglobin and ferritin levels returned to normal. Since my anaemia is chronic, I continue to take iron as per my doctor's instructions, using only Solgar iron without experiencing side effects. The small capsules are easy to swallow, ensuring a smooth process.

No side effects

I advise! I have chronic glandular anaemia and have been taking this medication for several years without experiencing side effects, which is crucial for me. I previously tried various other iron supplements, but I suffered from severe constipation. On a friend's recommendation, I switched to this product and have consistently taken it until my haemoglobin reaches at least 122. It's worked wonders and I highly recommend it.

Effective iron supplement
3 people found this helpful
I am very pleased with this iron preparation that I have purchased multiple times. I have chronic iron issues and need to take it frequently. No other iron supplement has raised my levels as effectively as this one. Fortunately, I have experienced no side effects such as diarrhoea.

Anemia support
2 people found this helpful
Works! After two years of medical treatment for chronic anaemia that only led to side effects and fluctuating haemoglobin, I switched to dietary supplements. Incorporating red meat into my diet alongside "Gentle iron" from Solgar, I saw my haemoglobin rise to 139! With the combined use of vitamin supplements, I felt revitalised and noticed a reduction in dizziness. After multiple cycles of intake, I'm thrilled with my stable levels now.

Significant improvement
1 people found this helpful
My haemoglobin increased from 80 to 143 in a month and a half! I've struggled with chronic, lifelong anaemia and tried many chemist remedies that only caused side effects. However, this supplement worked wonders for me. Taking it on an empty stomach with vitamin C made all the difference; I noticed my dark circles lessening and my complexion improving. My doctor was amazed at the test results!

Strength and appetite restored
1 people found this helpful
I was relieved from anaemia after taking this effective iron supplement. I had low haemoglobin and ferritin levels. A significant advantage is that it features a chelated form which caused no adverse reactions. I took two capsules in the morning with meals, and after three months, my levels returned to normal. I feel a surge of energy, my chronic fatigue has disappeared, I have a good appetite, and my hair has stopped falling out excessively. I would recommend it!

Gentle on stomach
1 people found this helpful
Works, but with conditions. I avoid meat, which leads to chronic anaemia. This iron supplement is mild and well-absorbed. It’s essential to take it properly on an empty stomach and pair it with vitamin C for optimal absorption. I’ve experienced no gastric side effects, and my haemoglobin levels are responding positively. It's a vast improvement over other iron preparations, and I would recommend it for anyone dealing with similar issues.

Healthy ferritin increase
1 people found this helpful
Goodbye anaemia!!! In one month, I increased my ferritin levels from 4 to 30. Unfortunately, this advancement would have been impossible to achieve through drugs for chronic anaemia. I highly recommend it to anyone with low ferritin, especially if you often feel dizzy or struggle getting out of bed. Stay healthy!

Improved ferritin levels
An excellent preparation for boosting haemoglobin. In chronic anaemia, I regularly monitor my levels. While my haemoglobin was normal, my ferritin was under 10. This remedy was recommended to me. The soft iron helps avoid unpleasant side effects like constipation. The capsules are a bit large but I take them with vitamin C and B12 for better absorption. I have seen a rise in my ferritin levels; that is the most important thing!
