Standard Process Inc.Ferrofood - Whole Food Antioxidant, Healthy Blood and Hemoglobin with Cyanocobalamin, Acerola, Shiitake, Rice Bran, Organic Carrot, Alfalfa, Spanish Moss - 150 Capsules

Easy to take without any of the usual unpleasantness that goes along with taking iron.

I have tried many different iron and ferritin supplements pill and liquid form over the years and they have all been either with side effects and/or not been effective. This ferrofood is tolerated very well and very, very effective. I’ve always been anemic (even with all the other supplements for years) and lost a bit more blood than normal during childbirth, and just 6 weeks after birth all my results are well within normal range- CBC, iron storage and ferritin.

Low iron? Found out recently from my child’s doctor that vitamin C is needed for the body to absorb the iron! So if you are taking iron but are low on C you are fighting an uphill battle. This product has BOTH in the correct dosage so you can actually absorb the iron you are taking! This is an excellent product and I WILL be buying it again. Side note: Doctor told us not to take iron with milk. The calcium in the milk will keep you from absorbing the iron. Wait at least 30 minutes after taking iron to eat or drink anything with calcium in it. Low iron can not only cause fatigue but also brain fog, change in barometric pressure headaches, and restless leg syndrome. A simple blood test from your doctors office can check your iron levels. Highly recommend this product for an iron supplement when it is recommended by your doctor!

Since I am anemic, I have been taking cheap drug store iron tablets Nature Made Iron 65mg, 180 Tablets and other brands for years. I have not felt a difference. My blood iron is low so many times I have not been able to donate blood.I started taking Ferrofood and within a week I noticed I had more energy than before. I am not bursting with energy, however, having the energy to easily get out of bed or off the couch to do chores or make dinner was a huge improvement for me.Before I was trying to start an exercise program. But just thinking about it exhausted me. Now I can get on my exercise bike and ride one hour (on the easy setting.)I take plenty of vitimens daily, Including a B-12, Nature Made Super B Complex Tablets,, a Kirkland Signature Daily Multi Vitamins & Minerals Tablets,, Spring Valley - Fish Oil 1000 mg, Omega-3, All Natural, Regular Strength., Nature Made Vitamin D3 2000 IU, and Kirkland Signature Extra Strength Glucosamine HCI 1500mg, With MSM 1500 mg, Tablets.I didn't notice any improvement from the b-12, multi-vitimen, D3, or B-complex.The pills that have made a difference: Taking the fish oil has helped my dry eye syndrome (my opthomoist recommended I take the fish oil). I actually notice my eyes get painfully dry when I skip it.Kirkland Glucosamine MSM - my knees hurt the next day after I stop taking this. Kirkland recommends taking two a day, however, I do fine taking two every other day, and one in the days in between.And now the ferrofood iron is added to my list of pills that make a difference in me.

Does not upset stomach

made me very nauseous even when taking it with food. not for me but seems like a good natural alternative .

Used for Low iron count

I have low iron and try to eat red meat to help with my low levels. However, I still take 2 of these almost everyday to keep my levels in the “normal” range. I don’t know if it’s because it’s plant based, but I have no trouble with my stomach or digestion when taking this supplement.
