Slow Fe Slow Release Iron Supplement, 30 Count/Box

Updated back to 4 out of 5Main reason, I AM finally feeling a bit of help in my fatigue levels by taking this daily but it took a month! During this time the dark circles also got a tad better toward the end of first month supply. Started my second one. TMI: the stool however is stinkier and harder to wipe clean when on this product.Updated rating 3 out of 5It DOES cause constipation and overall reduced and harder stool. I am no longer my 2x daily regular ... plus not feeling any energy pick up benefits from this product (yet?) for the trade offs of constipation.Previous 4 out of 5Been taking it only a few days but compared to other iron supplements there are things I really like:1) small pills that are easy to swallow2) taste is tolerable3) no GI cramping4) no diarrhea or constipation (so far!)Does it work? Not sure yet. Other brands I more immediately felt my energy pick up (I have anemia fatigue). This has not been the case yet. Every other brand has darkened my stool or made it harder or caused constipation. This brand has done none of those. So maybe I am not really getting or absorbing the iron as well? Not sure. Maybe it takes effect later on after on it for longer?I am giving it a 4 as I cannot tell if it is doing anything (and if I feel better I will update to 5 in a few weeks).Also giving it a 4 because of the 4 pluses I listed.

I recently bought these to help with (what I suspect to be) iron deficiency. I've been experiencing a lot of hair loss, fatigue, issues with blood clotting, etc so I figured I would try to combat it with something natural before I went to the doctor.First: I think they work great. It hasn't been very long but I feel my energy levels returning and I think my hair loss has slowed down dramatically. I haven't noticed any GI issues but will update if things change.Second - I'm really not sure why so many grown adults on here are having trouble opening a pill package that is literally identical to any other pill package on the market. I've attached pictures. Opening these does not require a nail file or a knife or a master's degree in engineering. They are easy to open. You peel the (clearly marked) corner back and pull it open and pop the pill out. It's not hard.All in all, I think I will keep ordering these. Very glad these came up in my suggested purchases.

I have always been Anemic. Always tired,Not much energy. I don’t like veggies.Probably has something to do with it.Traditional iron helped in energy but so hard on the guts. It was the price you had to pay for taking iron. But Slow Fe is a godsendYou system doesn’t get plugged up. No bad side effects. And you well start feeling better same day. My dr suggested every other day.As iron in not recommended for senior women. My heart needs it to stay strong,I’m 70 now and recommend this product.This is the only iron I’ll take. I hope this will help you too.

I have been taking this product for over a year. Everything that was prescribe for me made me ill. The doctor asked me if I would be interested in trying this product. I did and WOW, my iron is where it should be! I feel so much better and have no more fatigue do to low iron. I certainly recommend this product, with only ONE exception-- the packaging is not very practical and it takes scissors or other sharp objects just to get to the pill. To the company-- I would recommend a bottle with a child proof lid. -- That is why I only gave 4 stars, not 5.

I previously used a liquid iron supplement that I would always forget to take. Being anemic, you should never be forgetting to take your iron. My heart has actually become enlarged and my hair fall was quite significant before this product. It has only been about a month, but I am noticing a considerable difference in my hair fall. I feel less tired, I'm a single mom so I am always tired, but definitely a little more able to get out of bed in the mornings. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is anemic. Iron is so vital to our bodies, especially as women, pre or post partum, pre and post menopausal. We lose a lot of blood ladies. We need to take care of ourselves!
