Zahler – Iron Supplement with Vitamin C – Capsule Iron Pills for Women and Men – High Absorption, Easy on Stomach, Kosher Ferrous Iron Supplements with Vitamins C, B12, Folate & More – 100 Count

Increased iron count
I bought this when my husband who had to have an iron infusion to increase his iron at one point had his iron count began to drop again. It worked really well for increasing his iron count and I’ve continued to buy it for several years. His current blood specialist doesn’t recognize this brand and has switched him to a different one. If I don’t see the same improvement I will be switching him back to this one. I’ve used this product myself after a surgery when I had low iron counts a and it got me back to a normal level better than the product the Dr had suggested. I really like Zahlers, it had no bad after taste, and did not have the constipation issues common with iron supplements. I feel it is a good product, the current specialist said she will check out it as she’d never heard of it.

Great product!
Great product I’m anemic and this product has really helped i don’t get light headed or get headaches I feel it works great for me

Better than Blood Builders and less than 1/3 the cost!!!!
You’ll have to pardon me because this will be a somewhat long story full of actual evidence that the supplement works. It All Began because I was extremely anemic as shown in my blood work. The doctor prescribed me an iron supplement along with vitamin C as is standard practice, and I took this Faithfully for three months and then went in for blood work again. I was still extremely anemic and the iron supplement they prescribed caused stomach upset, even when taken with food. I was disappointed that my anemia had not improved. I began researching and found that iron generally should not be taken with meals because most of the foods we eat such as grains beans nuts and seeds as well as some vegetables block iron absorption. So I found that iron should be taken on an empty stomach at least 2 hours after eating and two hours before eating again. As a result, I began to take my doctor prescribed supplement in the morning 2 hours before getting out of bed. This resulted in a lot of nausea that I can equate only to morning sickness during pregnancy. However because I was severely anemic, I was willing to suffer through this if that was the only way to alleviate the problems.The results of my next blood work showed Improvement in several but not all areas used to assess anemia. But I was really getting tired of the morning sickness type nausea. So I began searching for a different iron supplement. I found an iron supplement called blood Builder which was quite expensive, $45 for 180 pills was the cheapest available and I had to take 2 pills a day. After a couple months I had my blood work done again and found that my anemia was mostly gone. Noting that two pills were not quite equal to the amount of iron in the prescription originally given to me, I began to take 2 and 1/2 pills per day. At my next blood work I was completely free from being anemic. However this was really expensive in my mind, and it did cause some mild stomach upset at times. The pills were also big, kind of hard to swallow but manageable, and had a kind of funky taste and smell.I wanted a more economical option so I began researching a little further and started looking for a different supplement that might give me the same benefits at a lower cost and hopefully no stomach upset. As I researched I found that there are several different types of iron and the type of iron that is in this supplement absorbs slightly better than the type of iron in the Mega Foods blood Builder formula and most over-the-counter (such as you might buy at Walmart) as well as prescription iron supplements.I paid about $20 for a two bottles of 100 pills each from Amazon rather than a Marketplace seller and only had to take two pills per day. They are capsules, much smaller than the blood Builder pills, and have no detectable taste or smell. I have had zero stomach upset even though I take these along with vitamin C chewable on an empty stomach.The big question that remained when I switched to this supplement was whether my iron levels would be adequate. My next blood work showed all of my numbers being wonderful. My B vitamins and folic acid were all really good whereas they had been on the low side of normal before. My anemia was gone and my iron levels were even better than the previous blood test. So now I am paying about $20 for a 100 day supply instead of $45 for a 72 day supply, and no stomach upset at all.I have been anemic most of my life constantly used to chew ice, and the desire is completely gone now. I will be taking this probably until the day I die, and I am perfectly fine with that. I also posted a rather lengthy positive review on the Mega Foods blood Builder 180 count product. That review was posted before I found this supplement. But I can say I will never go back to blood Builder after this. Much easier on my pocketbook and my stomach. This is a life-changer.I am a 48 year old female and have been anemic for as long as I can remember. Here is a little bit more information for anyone who has struggled with anemia. In addition to taking two pills along with 250 mg of chewable vitamin C 2 hours before getting up in the morning, I also take 500 mg of chewable vitamin C with each meal. I normally only eat two meals a day though. I was led to doing this after reading a study of 500 grade school aged children who were anemic. Half of the group continued to eat as they always had. The other half of the group ate the same as they always had as well, with the exception of the fact that they were given 65 mg of vitamin C with all phytate rich meals, meaning meals that contained grains nuts seeds beans Etc. At the end of the study which I believe was around 9 weeks, all of the children who took vitamin C were no longer anemic. And all of the children who made no changes were still anemic. None of the children taking vitamin C were even prescribed iron yet they were no longer anemic. Just something to consider if you happen to be dealing with anemia.Really glad I now have an affordable iron supplement that does not upset my stomach, ever!

Iron levels
As a blood donor a few years ago my iron levels were low, I started taking an iron supplement from the local big box store with zero improvement. I followed people’s reviews on Amazon and decided to try the Zahler product. It worked, my iron levels came up and have stayed up for years. I highly recommend this product.
