We focused on the effects of iron treatment as part of a broader strategy for managing blood loss and pain in patients undergoing staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) within a single hospital stay. In our study, we compared two groups of patients: one receiving a newly introduced multimodal blood management (MBM) approach that included preoperative oral iron treatment, and a control group that only received standard care.
Our findings were promising. The group treated with the MBM protocol experienced significantly lower rates of blood transfusion—only 9% of patients required one—compared to 32.4% in the control group. This approach not only reduced the need for additional blood transfusions but also led to improvements in postoperative hemoglobin levels and reduced pain and swelling in the knees after surgery.
The results suggest that incorporating iron treatment in a comprehensive management program can effectively help alleviate knee pain and enhance recovery from surgery. Best of all, this was achieved without leading to any significant complications, indicating a safe and economical option for improving outcomes in TKA patients.

This product is wonderful for those suffering from anaemia and low iron levels, which can cause constipation and stomach issues. I particularly recommend taking it alongside orange juice for better absorption.

Hemoglobin raised

My body struggles to digest iron from food, and my hemoglobin is often low. This supplement raised my hemoglobin to a normal level without any side effects or stomach pain. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Boosted iron levels
8 people found this helpful
The supplement is definitely effective. In 9 days of taking it, my iron levels increased from 5.48 to 10.15, and ferritin from 11 to 20. Users should ensure proper intake methods for absorption. Initially, I experienced slight stomach discomfort, which resolved after pausing for a day. Consuming it with vitamin C improved absorption further. It's worth giving another chance!

No side effects

A pharmacy iron preparation was prescribed for my anaemia, but I opted for this one instead. Taking it with vitamin C has made a noticeable difference. This iron doesn't cause gastrointestinal issues or constipation, which I'm very pleased about. Although the capsule size is a bit large, I recommend this supplement highly.

No severe side effects
5 people found this helpful
This is one of the best forms of highly digestible iron I have found. Other forms caused distressing side effects, including stomach pain and constipation. However, chelated iron such as bisglycinate is well absorbed and effective for increasing ferritin levels. I take it with vitamin C and have seen positive results without side effects, making it a worthwhile investment.

Improved well-being

I began taking it with vitamin C on an empty stomach, and later with lactoferrin before bed. I feel better, with no metallic taste, stomach pain, or constipation. I've noticed an uplifted mood and no fatigue after three weeks. The capsules are easy to swallow, requiring just one a day. The positive effects, including better digestion, are clear. I recommend it for good health!

Headaches gone
3 people found this helpful
After being diagnosed with anaemia and a ferritin level of 17, I experienced debilitating headaches that painkillers couldn't alleviate. A neurologist prescribed costly anti-pain medication, which failed to help. I realised the cause of my headaches was anaemia. After two weeks of taking this iron supplement, the headaches disappeared. I'm grateful for this solution!

No side effects

The level of iron in the blood is crucial for health. Like many, I faced iron deficiency anaemia and suffered from fatigue. My nutritionist suggested Solgar Gentle Iron, which has a pleasant taste and doesn't injure the stomach or cause pain. After three weeks of taking it daily, I feel significantly more energised, and even my hair loss has stopped. It's easy to swallow, and I highly recommend it for anyone concerned about their iron intake.
