Liquid iron for those that get anemic easily, better absorption than from pills
There are exactly two similar liquid iron products (same iron type) for sale on amazon right now. I tried the competition first only because it is a higher dose of iron than this one but with that higher dose comes a higher price. Of course given the chance to get twice as much for the same price most folks are going to want to try out the cheaper one in case it can do the job as well. When the bottle arrived the sticky circle that keeps the box closed had dried out and the box was open (but not the bottle it was still sealed) and the dosage cup was missing from the box no biggie I have a few of those from other products. Iron because it is what it is, can have a metallic taste to liquid forms, this one comes with a “chocolate caramel” sort of flavor which I at least prefer to the grape flavor of the other product. This product comes in a four and eight ounce bottle, I bought the larger one just so I won’t have to order as often. The dosage is 555% of the daily recommended value which sounds like a lot but if you’re severely iron anemic your health care professional actually might be ordering doses that high or even higher to try to get you back where you need to be. It seems to be recognized that iron absorption from a liquid supplement is VERY superior to that you can get from pills. As a laymen natural healing student I’ve always believed that at least some supplements will absorb better when your body doesn’t have to work to extract it in the digestive tract. It’s supposed to take several months to restore iron stores in the body when they get too low I can tell you from personal experience iron anemia makes you feel like a wet rag that just won’t dry out no energy, no drive no desire to do much of anything but lay around after about two months of high levels of supplements I’m feeling a lot butter but I’m determined not to have to deal with that again. There are reviews written by people who take these liquid products all the time, yes it’s a little pricey but worth it believe me. Liquid iron products have the unfortunate reputation of staining teeth so when you use a product like this make sure to take a drink of something to swish it out of your mouth so it’s not sitting on your teeth. Will post more once I’ve used this one for awhile I’m comparing it to the competing product to see how I feel. Some folks also report gastric issues with high doses of iron I haven’t noticed that with this particular type of iron but everyone’s different. Be careful not to spill this on fabric it will stain from the looks of things.

Female Middle Age Life is Much Better with Liquid Iron
*THIS* has made my day-to-day life so much better. I struggle with low iron occasionally –– certainly during my 2 pregnancies and now that my perimenopause periods are becoming closer together and heavier it was starting to be a problem again. I just had blood work done to confirm how low my ferritin levels are. But I didn’t need the test to confirm –– I knew it because of the way I’d obsessively be crunching on ice all day long, how I’d need to lay down to rest in the mid-afternoon a few days a week and how worthless I felt on days 2-5 of my monthly cycle. That’s not to mention the almost daily headaches. I was kinda a wreck for an otherwise very healthy and fit 41 year old.After the blood work I bough iron supplements (pill form) and only managed to take 2 pills before I knew I couldn’t do that any longer –– the way it made my stomach hurt was insane and I already dealt with constipation so I didn’t want to wait around too long to see how much worse the iron pills made that. I quickly found people on Reddit talking about liquid iron in the anemia thread so I gave this a try and HOME RUN!!!I do not think it taste bad. The first taste is nice, like raspberry, as advertised, but then it does have a little metallic to it but that’s not anything a quick chug of water won’t fix. Best of all I very quickly stopped having daily headaches, my energy is so much better, my most recent period didn’t leave me completely wiped, and I haven’t chewed ice in a month. I will never be without this again! Save yourself from the awful side effects of iron pills –– this is the way to go!!!

Wrong measuring cup??
I just received this, so I can’t speak to how well it works. The raspberry taste isn’t the best, and still has that yuck iron taste, but I don’t think there’s much getting around that. I’m just a bit confused as to why they gave me a measuring cup that starts at 10 ml when a serving size is 5 ml?!?!

Chocolate caramel is most tolerable by far
I have tried 3 liquid iron supplements now and this chocolate caramel one is the only one I can tolerate. I tried raspberry from another brand and this brand and both were awful—syrupy, medicinal, and tasted like blood/metal even though they said they don’t. I don’t know how, but the chocolate caramel one isn’t thick like the others and the metallic taste is maybe 1/10th as noticeable. I am disgusted very easily so I mix the liquid iron into something else to hide the taste as much as possible. I put the chocolate caramel in sugar free chocolate milk or hot chocolate and I can’t even taste it. I can’t vouch for the efficacy of the iron yet since I haven’t been taking it for that long, but if it works as it should I will 100000% stick with chocolate caramel forever. Even if you think won’t like it because you don’t like chocolate or caramel, trust me. It’s way, way less gross than the raspberry.Extra advice if you are extremely easily disgusted like me and need even more help covering the flavor: hot chocolate/chocolate milk powder + *peanut butter powder* + milk of your choice. My doctor also suggested a peanut butter and banana smoothie.

I recommend it!
Is so easy to take, you only need 5 mls. The flavor is yummy and masks the taste of metal/blood i usually detest in most liquid iron supplements.Im pregnant and have always been anemic but i hate taking iron because of the taste and side effects. But now i need to make sure i keep my levels up! There are some iron vitamins that gave me terrible nausea and also constipation.This one doesnt make me feel nauseous or sick to my stomach. This is amazing since im more sensitive to taste right now! It has made me a little constipated so i take it every other day instead of everyday.
