This can cause constipation.

I just take this because I have a naturally low Ferrous level. It works just fine if you take it every day, or at least every other day.

Iron helped to rid myself of the anemia that resulted from my vegetarianism. It got rid of fatigue and has helped to make me feel better during the day.
Its working alright I still get iron infusions every few months.

No response to treatment.
I was Anemic even before I became a Vegetarian (now a Vegan)...so I kinda have to take this for health reasons and I do notice a difference in my activity level!

I had chronic anemia last year to where my doctor didnt want me doing any physical activity for a few months until my iron levels were better. They got better and are still getting better now. I only take one iron supplement a day now too.

i can not absorb Iron orally, so i have to have iron infusions, i usually have one every 5 months, but havent had one in almost a year and that is amazing to me!!it works well, however because iron is stored in your large bones the next day or so after is quite painful becuase the iron is being reabsorbed into those bones. I also have to give myself b12 shots. hats not bad at all and helps with myenergy levels a few days after!!
