Solgar Gentle Iron (Iron Bisglycinate) 25 mg - 90 Vegetable Capsules - Non-Constipating, Gentle on Your Stomach - Gluten Free - 90 Servings

I have been suffering from fibroids for some time and recently had to have a hysterectomy due my large fibroids since they were causing me to become extremely anemic.Even though, I had built up my hemoglobin levels in order to have surgery; I lost a lot of blood during the surgery and wound up anemic again.A normal healthy woman is supposed to have a hemoglobin level between 12-16 and after surgery mine fell to a 7.1.I was told to eat iron rich foods and in time my hemoglobin levels would rise but I just felt awful that first week that I was home due mostly to the anemia because I would get out of breath easily with exertion and my face looked sallow (brownish yellowish color) and I was extremely tired.I knew I had to take action and ordered Solgar's gentle iron.Unlike, the ferrous sulfate form of iron; iron biglycinate is not constipating at all. And did not cause digestion problems like even ferrous gluconate (like Fergon) can also cause.I went to my OBGYN today to follow up after my surgery and they did a hemoglobin check and mine was 12.6. And they were blown away that I had gotten my numbers up so quickly and how healthy that I looked.I no longer need to take an iron supplement because just eating a healthy diet with iron rich food will maintain and enrich my hemoglobin levels and I would not want to get "iron overload" from having too much iron in my blood since I no longer need to have my levels checked because too much iron can lead to cancer.

These are a great iron supplement. Gentle on the stomach and effective. I trust the Solgar brand.

This iron is very gentle on my stomach as I usually have a hard time digesting iron supplements. I also appreciate the dosage so that I’m not getting too much at once.

I have been on liquid Iron as prescribed by my physician for a couple of years. Unfortunately, one of the side effects is horrible constipation. I found this product and began taking it instead of liquid iron. I take it with chewable vitamin C to help my system absorb the iron better. I have no problems with severe constipation with this product. During my last follow-up appointment, I shared the product with my physician. She was tickled and said she would share the name of this product with her other patients who are on an iron supplement.

Possibly TMI, but this product is far better on my digestive system than the typical iron supplements I usually buy from the store.

I have a hereditary blood condition that keeps me extremely anemic most of the time. I have had terrible experiences with oral iron in the past. i have tried every brand of iron supplement I can find and it is always the same thing - stomach pains, tasting the horrible iron all day, nausea and many other stomach problems so severe I couldn't continue taking the iron. Sogar-Gentle Iron is the first oral iron I have taken that creates no problems for me at all. It is easy to swallow, and it is so gentle I forget I have taken it. That seems simple, but it is the very first time there have been no problems when i take it. I recommend it for anyone taking oral iron. A bonus is the capsule itself is "veggie" so if you do not consume animal products, this supplement is perfect for you.

I began taking iron because I had become very anemic and I chose this particular product because I had taken iron pills in the past but had always experienced a lot of stomach pain, constipation, etc. and therefore I wasn't every good about actually taking the pills like I should have. I had read reviews about this "gentle" formula and decided to give it a try; I'm really glad that I did! Since I've started taking it, my iron levels have risen to acceptable levels and I can honestly say that it hasn't bothered my stomach or caused any bowel irritation at all, much to my surprise. It's been about a year since I first purchased this and I've been consistently taking it since. A couple of other family members have also started using it and have experienced the same positive results, so I would highly recommend this to ANYONE.

I needed to supplement my iron but really struggle with the tummy side effects of regular iron. This worked well and didn't hurt my tummy! Worth a try.
