Trace Minerals Ionic Iron, 22mg – Energy Support Supplement with Magnesium & Iron – Aid Brain Health & Immune System Function – Gluten-Free Liquid Supplement – 1.9 fl oz (2 Pack) (92 Servings)

Whatever I Was Expecting, After Reading The Reviews, It Was Not This.
So many reviews claimed that the flavor was unconscionably awful that I expected to need a clear afternoon to vomit in peace. Reviewers spoke of the strength of the metallic taste or the persistence of a metallic or blood flavor; they spoke of vomiting after a single dosage and rushing to send the product back, it was enough to frighten anyone. However, my need is sufficient that I could not give way to fear and would need to adjust to the product, the order had to be placed, I am glad that I did. I would have preferred to find other nutrients, nutrients that enhance the absorption of iron, nevertheless, a bit of magnesium –something that is generally deficient in the western diet anyway– wouldn’t be of any consequence. There was nothing for it, under the tongue it went and… nothing!The flavor was inconsequential, the best description I can give is that it is something like the cream colored leftover material on a cast iron skillet as tasted from a finger. Since I use this –after transferring to a saucepan– as the base for a meat gravy, I can’t really call it unpleasant at all. I took a couple of drops of a full-spectrum B-12 (BioActive B12 Full-Spectrum (Sublingual Drops) an excellent product in its own right and one, for which, I will write an equally glowing review; I wrote this one first because, right now, someone, somewhere, is where I was a few days ago) and all I could taste was the clean cherry flavor. That is to say that I could not detect any remnants of the mild flavor of the iron.It is important to note that I am not incapable of taste, I am not a devotee of high Scoville rating foods, and I have never burnt my tongue beyond “oops, the coffee is still too hot.” I am a fan of subtle and delicate flavors such as sushi and sashimi as well as the brighter and bolder flavors of Paella. That is not to say that being able to taste nuanced and delicate flavors is unimportant; indeed, since almost every family in Spain has a particular recipe, not noticing the subtleties might even be indelicate at the least. On the other hand, I do not have the highly sensitive and educated palate of a vintner or the nose of some cigar aficionados. Nevertheless, I feel that I have a sufficiently sensitive palate that I would have noticed a flavor as noxious as others have reported; for myself, I was pleasantly surprised.Regarding those experiences, there is one possibility that would explain why I found the taste as mild and pleasant as I did and those other reviewers did not: my low body iron stores. In as much as those that continued to use this product did find that it elevated their serum iron (hopefully, even in the face of elevated hepcidin) but did not report that the flavor got worse, I do not believe a relationship between stores and the perception of flavor exists in this case; I will update this review should that occur.In conclusion, if you need iron in your blood then this product can help (I will update with a change in iron when I have data to report) and the flavor should not dissuade you. The flavor is mild enough that a drop of B-12 was enough to vanish what flavor there was. Since the instructions recommend divided dosages, I could do 4 dosages if the flavor ever became more noticeable than hospital gravy. As it is, I did 1/2 the daily dosage with three cookies (why even try with an empty stomach eh?) and I did it again an hour later (what can I say, I did not vomit and it did not taste bad, given all the yucky flavor reviews, I wanted to know mine was not a fluke experience!) with the same outcome. It might not be clear but that was one without the B-12 and one WITH.

Iron Supplement For Family
Purchased This Liquid Iron Supplement For A Family Member. It Seems To Work Well. They’ve Not Had A Problem. They Don’t Like The Taste, But Love The Trace Minerals. Thanks, Portia

Terrible taste
Bought this product because I love the trace minerals D3+ K2 drops. However, these drops are nothing like those. I do not have sensitive taste buds. I can really eat pretty much anything however I tried these twice and nearly vomited. Both times. The color is like a pale, yellow and almost bubbly, which was concerning however, after being assured, that was normal I took the drops and even with juice or coffee it was horrible. I can’t get the taste out of my mouth. taking a shot of vodka or tequila or literally any type of alcohol is 1000000% better than taking these. Do not buy these, this is total miss from Trace Minerals.

Not bad easier than a pill
Was taking a pill gad labs done was not absorbing the iron labs were still low so see how liquid does still to early but it does give me energy after I take it will retest labs in 30 days
