Well Tolerated Effective Iron Supplement
I use Slow Fe for multiple reasons.(1) It is easily tolerated on an empty stomach. I have a sensitive stomach.Over two months I have had no abdominal pain. No nausea. No feeling of bloating or other discomfort.(2) Slow-release. Enables a larger daily dose to be available without it hitting my stomach like a bomb – which did happen with a larger dose of a non-slow release brand from another manufacturer.3) Value. Its availability in bulk makes it more affordable.4) Confidence in the brand. It has been available for years in its current form. Widely used over time. Its manufacture valid and reliable by GSK. Compare that to otherswho lack that name recognition.5) Efficacy. I can trust that the dose form delivers the 45 mg of elemental iron that I want daily.6) An easy to swallow pill which leaves no aftertaste.I have had a low ferritin without an iron deficiency anemia. Because of other issues this conservative dose meets my needs.After two months I do feel stronger. Have less fatigue. More energy. These are subjective improvements. I also have noticed observeable differences. Better skin color. Less pallor. Faster capillary refill on my nailbeds. That said, I still know iron supplements take weeks to show an improvement in lab values. Especially ferritin.I do also notice some of the other effects of iron supplementation – like a darkening of feces – are present. Mild constipation not worse than my usual issue.About the packaging.The blister pack is not insurmontable.I have not found I required a scissors to separate a single dose.However.If I am at all not careful in peeling back the covering, that little pill gets away from me, bouncing on a tile floor to places unknown, joining the Kingdom of the Lost. Be careful.I have become increasingly aware of how diet, prescriptions & supplements interact.That becomes important with iron.Like other iron supplements, it can lower absorption of multiple medications by binding with them. Antibiotics. Biophosphanates. Others.Iron’s efficacy itself can be lowered by other medications, like antacids and proton pump inhibitors (like Pepcid) which raise the gastric pH. Iron also binds to calcium supplements.Most if not all of these effects are controlled by timing the Slow Fe dose two hours before or after the other medication.Even the polyphenols in green or black tea or coffee – not the caffeine – can interfere with iron absorption.Vitamin C, like that in a glass of Orange juice can promote absorbtion.Package warnings bear repeating:If you are pregnant or nursing, talk to your doctor before use. Keep your baby safe.This is NOT intended for children. Keepit out of their reach. One of the leading causes of FATAL accidental overdose in kids under 6 is ingestion of iron containing supplements.Do NOT chew. Swallow whole with adequate liquid.Do NOT take with other iron supplements. Stick with one to best evaluate your progress and assure no untoward effects will occur.Bottom line. Do your homework about interactions. Know your medication. Know what helps or what can interfere.Review all instructions and most important – follow up with your physician during use.I highly recommend Slow Fe as an iron supplement. Predictable. Well tolerated. Effective. A good value when purchased in this bulk form.

Highly Effective & Infuriating
These iron pills are too notch! I was sick and my levels tested really low, these supplements did a great job raising my iron levels and I didn’t have any real side effects. Now, being iron deficient, there’s a reasonable guess I’m deficient in some other vitamins & minerals. So this company has taken these incredibly effective supplements and put them in a blister pack that is most definitely child proof, in fact I can’t get to them most of the time. Kudos to your safety team! I guarantee no one will ever accidentally eat these iron pills. I break a fingernail any time I try to get one out for my daily dose and I have to keep something sharp around to poke them out. At least when I accidentally stab myself with the random pair of scissors I found to get the iron pills out, my blood will be super healthy!Anywho: Pills, sexyPackaging, Ew

Great iron supplement. Highly recommend.
My OB/GYN recommended these to me many years ago when I was pregnant and anemic. They are non-constipating and with iron that can be a huge issue. I have used them ever since. I have also recommended them to my patients and to my daughter when she was dealing with anemia during her pregnancy also. They are great. No taste, easy to swallow. Just one a day is all you need for a dose. Best of all…..no constipation or greenish black poos from the iron like other iron tablets. These are on my subscribe & save every month. Highly recommend!

Give me a break
This seems like a good product. It’s improved my wife’s blood count substantially and has never upset her stomach.But why does it have to be so ridiculously hard to get out of the packaging? You do know it’s just an OTC iron supplement, right? It’s not solid gold or platinum or uranium – why is it packaged like it is?? I know for a fact there are days my wife doesn’t take it. I can hear her in the other room saying “are you freaking kidding me” and I know those are the iron-free days. It just seems like it could be a lot easier especially when I’m sure a lot of your purchasers are older people. Can’t you make it easier for them?

Low iron before my cycle
I always get nauseous and dizzy before my period due to low iron. I feel like these have help tremendously. No upset stomach or constipation.
