Top Medical Research Studies
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 alleviated
326 people found this helpful
Iron in an easily digestible form helped me significantly. By the third day, my daytime fatigue and drowsiness vanished. I was diagnosed with low iron levels through tests. After my doctor prescribed this form, which is highly absorbable, I took one capsule daily along with other vitamins. I felt genuinely cheerful once I began this iron.

This is the best iron for treating chronic fatigue syndrome! After various treatments led to constipation, I switched to Solgar’s easily digestible iron. There were no side effects, and my hemoglobin levels rose significantly in just a month. I am continuing with it since it has proven effective.

Iron is vital for health, especially in treating my chronic fatigue syndrome. After several ineffective supplements, I started Solgar. My symptoms, including fatigue and dizziness, have improved since I began. The capsules are easy to take, and I will continue using them to maintain my iron levels.

Effective absorption
31 people found this helpful
Solgar’s iron bisglycinate is excellent for my chronic fatigue syndrome. It absorbs better than standard iron salts, leading to fewer side effects. After taking it, my iron levels improved. I recommend pairing it with vitamin C for enhanced absorbability, and I'm pleased with the results after a 3-4 week trial.

Headaches disappeared

After childbirth, I suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome and took various iron supplements that were ineffective. With Solgar, I noticed improved ferritin and hemoglobin levels, and my hair stopped falling out. Plus, my headaches ceased, and I no longer have severe breakdowns during my periods. I drink it with vitamin C in the morning.

Following my doctor’s advice, I began iron supplements, and after a few weeks, my chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms improved. My energy, mood, and complexion have been revitalised. The iron is well absorbed, with no stomach discomfort. This is ideal for anyone with anaemia or wanting to sustain healthy iron levels.

Fatigue alleviated

I accept, as I had very low ferritin along with normal haemoglobin - latent anaemia. Now, cold hands and feet, depression, constant fatigue, and mood swings are things of the past! I take iron at night with probiotics. It helps the gut while taking iron. If my review helps you, a LIKE would be appreciated!

No side effects

I recommend this! I have been taking this supplement for years due to chronic fatigue syndrome. Other iron tablets caused severe constipation, but this one didn’t. I take it in courses until my hemoglobin reaches at least 122 and it effectively raises my levels without side effects, which is crucial for me!
