Doctor's Recipes Iron Supplement 65 mg with Vitamin C - Maximized Absorption & Stomach Friendly Iron Pills for Red Blood Cells Formation, Heart, Brain & Immunity Health - Vegan Non-GMO 90 Iron Tablets

I have had problems donating plasma and I knew I needed something to get my iron up since it has always been lower than the acceptable 38 hematocrit level. What I liked about this is I could take this before bed with no side effects and then again in the morning. It did take, as online said it would, approximately 3 weeks to raise the level because I tried after 1 week and my hematocrit was 35 and had to wait on donating. I take a off brand of 5 Hour Energy, and it is true that caffeine can mess with iron absorption so I wake up & take this pill on an empty stomach and wait 2 hours minimum before taking any caffeine. On donating days I don't touch caffeine until after donating. Here's some additional advice: for extra absorption take vitamin A and B12 with this pill and DON'T TAKE CALCIUM UNTIL MINIMUM 2 HOURS LATER (same suggestion when eating meals to absorb iron). You can also cook on cast iron pans to make more iron rich food but it didn't seem to work as well as these pills. I take 1 in the morning and 1 at night everyday on an empty stomach. On donating days I wake up and eat an iron rich breakfast of a 2 egg omelet with no cheese (remember no calcium!) with mixed in tomatoes, red peppers, and broccoli. Then an hour and a half when I'm leaving my home to go donate I take 2-3 of these pills and my hematocrit was 39! I strongly suggest testing any new iron pills you buy by trying during the day to see how your body reacts. I bought a different iron pill and a liquid iron, had them both on an empty stomach before going to bed, and my heart raced all night! All I know is these pills do not do that to me plus there's vitamin c for extra absorption so I just got done buying some more. I also take as many as I do because I fast and then eat on my donation days and it does drop my already low iron even lower so I need more, but PLEASE don't just take as many as I am taking if you're unsure or are not getting your hematocrit tested because you don't want iron overload.

Works well. Was 33 weeks pregnant and pretty significantly iron deficient. They wanted me to try a supplement first for a few weeks before going the infusion route. A few weeks later got blood work again and it improved significantly. For me it seemed that this was pretty easy for my body to absorb. I was also only taking it every other day per my drs instructions. It might be different for other people but it really worked for me and saved me from an IV iron infusion! I was so iron difficent I was having a hard time even staying awake I was so exhausted and within 5 days I felt significant improvement

I take this every other day due to the side effect of taste change, but my main reason for 5 stars is that iron usually makes me very sick or constipated and so far this has been actually working without making me sick. Everyday use did cause food to taste weird but that's a known iron side effect also

It is only a month since I am taking this Supplement. Has to take another 3 months before the blood work. The blood work will show the level of absorption. Now I can tell you that it is good for my stomach without any issues so far. I take 1 tablet alternate day ( 3 tablets/week). I take it in the afternoon around 4 pm after my lunch around 1 pm and do not drink my afternoon coffee during the day I take the tablet

Arrived quickly and in good condition. And it works, my lab results are improving!
