Ferrous Sulfate Iron Elixir 16 oz

This works just as it should when you are anemic and are working with a doctor to bring up your ferritin. None of my doctors prescribed this. I was taking iron pill, but it wasn't working. Then I did research and found out it was because I was eating iron-blocking foods with the pills, not knowing it. But by this time my doctors wanted me to get iron by IV, which I am against due to other medical issues I have. I sought out this product and brought it up to the doctors telling them I have done my research and would like to try this. They said ok and set the dosage for me. I felt great after the first day. I accomplished, in 4 hours, everything I have been trying to get done around the house in the past year and a half. I take 2 teaspoons in the morning in a 4 oz teacup. I add a little water and the rest with orange juice that is NOT fortified with calcium. This is very important if you want to absorb iron. It's working so far. It's only been almost 2 months and my levels have gone up slightly. But if you are building up your iron, you would know this process may take me up to 6 months to see any real results of retaining iron. Also, NEVER, EVER take this without knowing through a doctor that you need it. It could result in death if you do not know what you are doing.

This stuff is great. I suffer from throat strictures due to my GERD and am incapable of swallowing pills. I have to crush them up and take them with applesauce. When it was discovered I was severely anemic a month ago, I was prescribed 325mg ferrous sulfate 3x a day. Well, trying to adhere to that regimen while having to crush pills in applesauce was almost impossible for me. I needed a way to take the dose quickly and easily. This elixir does the job and the taste is ok. Like others have said, mix dose with a shot of fruit juice and gulp it. Very minimal after taste that lasts for maybe a minute. Since purchasing my first bottle, I am only a quarter way through it, taking 7.5ml 3x a day along with a chewable vitamin C, and already I can feel a difference. My constant coldness is going away, my limbs aren't constantly falling asleep, and my energy is starting to come back.I have a long way to go before I am fully healthy again as I am battling other issues, but this iron elixir is a major part of correcting the problems and I would recommend it to everyone. It is the cheapest iron elixir on here and works every bit as good as the other more expensive name brands. In fact, this is the generic competitor to Feosol name brand iron elixir. Says right on the bottle.

I have a multitude of symptoms from iron deficiency. I can't take the pills because of IBS. And I practically ran out of the doctor's office when he said I needed an IV of iron (fear of needles). So I found this as an alternative. First I tried the Wellesse brand that tastes better, but my doctor pointed out that I had to drink half the bottle for one dose of what I needed. This one is what he approved - 3 tablespoons a day. I mix it with orange juice to help with the taste (it's like sucking on a mouth full of pennies) and absorption. It's why it orange flavored. My husband has to get after me like I'm a child avoiding cough syrup. The after taste lingers for a good 10 minutes. It does the job though. No stomach issues (unless on an empty stomach). It's been helping with muscle pain, fatigue, circulation, etc. To get it over with, I put the 3 tablespoons in a small glass, mix it with just some orange juice that equates to about a gulp and just shoot it. Best to get it over quick.

I do not usually leave reviews, but this product surprised me, and he deserves it, I'm athlete background. semi-professional level, about 60-70 miles per week. Three times a week I train twice a day, always suffered from anemia, took pills of ferrous sulfate, and practically not doing anything. For more religiously take every day, when he trained hard, my iron down and my hemoglobin and oxygenation of blood were falling. I was told that the liquid iron is absorbed much easier than in pills, and decided to try it, I take it twice a day, before breakfast and at night before going to bed with orange juice and a vitamin C tablet in 1 week I feel strong, I recover faster, I feel energy and not get tired training I shot and shot and shot in the coaches. Today was the litmus test, had a demanding workout on the track, 6x1000mts: 3:16, I felt strong, very resistant oxygen and definitely this iron should take athletes and people with anemia as I do, that the pills do nothing. I'll take it until the day of my retirement SPORTS!

So far I have had zero issues with this. I have been anemic to the point of requiring IV's. To give me a break from that my doctor suggested liquid iron. I ordered this and it arrived super fast. So far it's been very easy to tolerate. I mix it in a bit of orange juice. I take a teaspoon/5ml every morning before I have any caffeine as advised by another user of the product. I wait an hour and then have diet coke or coffee. It's been very easy to take. I will try this for a month then need my blood work completed again and will post the results. If this doesn't do the trick I will need to have IV's again but hoping it works. It's VERY easy to take and no after taste or anything. I'm so thankful it's not some awful tasting stuff. I don't even notice the taste when I drink the OJ I mix it in.

This product tastes HORRIBLE, but it is a great and fast acting iron supplement. I highly recommend having something to use as a "chaser," such as a vitamin C containing juice. This helps absorption and also helps kill the taste of rusty nails. Also, make sure and rinse your mouth afterwards. It helps to knock this product back like a shot and get it as far into your throat as you can, so it doesn't stain your teeth.Even though the process of using this isn't the most pleasant, none of these things are the fault of the product. It's because you're taking liquid iron. That's why it still gets five stars. It seems to have great absorption.
