The only iron I've been able to digest so far without throwing up.
TL; DR: I would recommend this supplement to anyone who deals with low iron but has a sensitive stomach as well, qnd cannot fully tolerate the brown liquid forms or their taste. This stuff has made a world of difference and I hope it continues to improve itself and the lives of others. Full version: Like most women, I've been anemic for as long as I can recall. My iron issues have extended to thinning hair, brittle nails, fatigue, etc; none of which are fun. I got away with livable iron deficiencies in my 20s, but now in my mid 30s, not only have these issues increased, but my fatigue and brain fog began to became disruptive to the point of exasperating attention issues, including memory and information retention, Dizziness, etc; making a solution a must. Moving forward, I've tried several forms of iron ranging from the classic SSS Tonic to various liquid iron drops. Without fail, I'd always vomit, and not any small event, but an aggressive form of vomiting with after effects that took 2 or 3 hours to pass. I struggled with taking iron before eating for the most absorption, making the vomiting reaction that much more painful on an empty stomach. Even worse, sublingual drops temporarily dyed the bottom of my teeth black and took about 3 weeks to go away after discontinued use. Previous experiences with iron left me absolutely frustrated, until I came across this form of elemental iron from Vitron. Not only can I take this iron on an empty stomach, butI can continue on with my day, meaning I can go several hours before having to eat. I used to stress about planning my iron intake strategically around a fasting or OMAD lifestyle, but this iron eases that issue entirely. If I don't want to eat for another three hours, I can do that. If I want to take it an hour before consuming black coffee without any iron absorption or digestive issues, I can do that. It took a couple of days for my system to get completey used to the tablets, but nothing about these vitamins has been difficult and I find that remarkable considering how harsh iron is as a mineral and how negative the iron supplement experience has been on my system in the past. I guess the only thing to consider with this type of supplement is that, as far as I've read, elemental iron is the least effective in terms of substantially boosting your iron count,and the least easily absorbed. This doesn't mean that it doesn't work well, but rather, means it may not work as fast at boosting your numbers as other forms of high potency iron, and the iron may not absorb as easily, making it even more important that this form of iron be taken on an empty stomach and with additional quality vitamin c if possible. That said, this stuff definitely works and it took about 3 weeks of use for me to feel the improvements. Not only do they help me to stay regular, but my brain fog has cleared, my focus is better, and my energy levels have gradually improved. I take B12 and iodine as well which have also helped. Changes may be difficult to notice while you're getting used to the supplements, but go a few days without them and you'll see the difference. I would recommend this supplement to anyone who deals with low iron but has a sensitive stomach as well, qnd cannot fully tolerate the brown liquid forms or their taste.
