Description

A bioavailable form of metallic iron. This formula (patented by Albion Labs) has a high absorption rate, resulting in the body receiving higher amounts of iron.

Ferrochel is a standardized ingredient in which iron is bound to an amino acid to avoid common side effects of iron such as nausea, constipation, and other stomach disturbances. The daily intake of iron is set at 15-18 mg for women and 10-15 mg for men.

NOW's Iron Complex with the Ferrochel iron formula is enhanced with additional ingredients such as vitamin C, vitamin B-12, dong quai herb extract, and red raspberry, which help in better absorption of the minerals.

The iron/ferritin levels had dropped. So I decided to get it. I am attaching photos with the dates of the tests. I should mention that my diet remained the same (vegan with almost daily legume consumption). Also, I was not taking the supplement daily. And before the last tests, it had been a while since I took a supplement.

I started taking iron a month ago. I bought Floradix tablets, but it's not cost-effective because I need to take 4 a day. So I decided to try another brand that will last me longer. I have known Now Foods for many years because I am an athlete, so I thought I would try Iron Complex. I am on the 3rd day and I have a constant metallic taste in my mouth. It doesn't go away with anything, not even with food or brushing my teeth. I am very afraid that I will stop and try another brand. In all other aspects, the product seems fine and it hasn't bothered my stomach. But even if it's a good product, what's the point if it ruins the taste? That's why I give it 2 stars solely because of the metallic taste!

    I have started and stopped it 2-3 times because personally it causes me constipation, even from the very first days. I changed brand and the problem was solved. As for its effectiveness as a supplement, I have no opinion.

    This iron is one of the few that did not cause me any significant to no gastrointestinal problem. There was only slight discomfort during the first five days, but then it became accustomed. I cannot say for certain if it practically helps the body as I did not undergo any tests after using it.

    On the first day, I had a little upset stomach, on the second day I had a bigger meal before taking it with juice and everything was fine. No metallic taste or difficulty in digestion. I have also tried other vitamins from the same company and everything is good!

    I had a serious deficiency of iron and ferritin this year, even though I eat meat almost every day (including liver twice a month), my body was not absorbing iron. After taking it for 3 months, my test results are satisfactory.

    After 1 year of abstaining from red meat and using this specific supplement for the last 6 months, I recently had blood tests and for the first time they show that ferritin, hematocrit, and B12 have increased a few units above the lower limits. I have always been below the lower limits even when taking supplements.

    I am satisfied with this supplement because it is well tolerated, does not cause constipation, and after about 1 month of regular intake, I feel much better in terms of energy and strength. My only concern is its extremely high content of vitamin B12, which is certainly necessary for blood formation, but is the dosage too high for long-term use?
