Wow, 125 High Potency Liquid Iron Supplement for Adults, Iron Deficiency, 125mg of Iron Per 5mL Dose, Vegan Verified, Gluten Free Certified, Sugar Free

I am anemic and my Dr prescribed iron pills to be taken 3 times a day. When I went for my first lab test, my iron levels were even lower and my Dr did not think I was taking the pills, even though I was. I decided to try liquid iron as I thought it might be absorbed better. I ordered a different brand of liquid iron (not this product review) and the taste was horrible. It had to be taken in two doses and refrigerated and I was seriously wondering what I was going to do, because there was no way I could stomach that product. I decided try NovaFerrum 125 Liquid Iron. I bought my first bottle and was pleased to see that the taste was not bad at all. This is pretty great, since I have a hard eating disgusting medicine or foods. The liquid is dark in color with a reddish tint and I love that it does not have to be refrigerated. That makes it so much easier! I do drink Emergen C afterward, to help with absorption. I started taking NovaFerrum about two weeks before my second lab test and my iron levels did go up. I was thrilled to see that after two weeks of liquid iron, there is an improvement, whereas with two months of pills, I was worse off. I must say that I do feel better. I have increased energy and I am not as exhausted. Frankly, I wake up about 15 minutes before my alarm goes off and I no longer hit snooze for two hours before I have the energy to crawl out of bed! My Dr asked what I was taking and she said normally they do not recommend liquid because it stains teeth. However, I reassured her I do brush my teeth right afterward and I have not had any problems. She recommended a higher dosage than what is on the bottle, due to my specific circumstances. When I took the pills, I had constipation, but no other problems. On NovaFerrum, even on a higher dosage, I have had no problems at all. I ordered my second bottle of NovaFerrum and I had a question about the color. I emailed the supplier and explained my concern. The supplier emailed me telling me to call a 1-800 number, but did not say anything else. Unbeknownst to me, the 1-800 number was the pharmaceutical company that makes the product. The beginning of the conversation was a little bit awkward as I thought it was the supplier, but once I realized who I was talking to, things were much better. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to Gensavis Pharmaceuticals. When I called, I spoke to a real person right away, who was able to help me. I received quite a bit of information, even more than I had expected, and although I was happy with the NovaFerrum before the call, afterward, I felt even better. I cannot stress this enough. I have a long way to go towards fixing my anemia, but being able to talk to someone at the pharmaceutical company who was willing to explain how the medicine is stored at the company site, answer questions, give me a direct number to call that specific person back, and encouraged me to do so, made me feel like I had someone else on my side while I am dealing with this issue. If you are taking a medication and you have a concern, you should reach out to the company, because I truly think that everyone needs to feel comfortable with what they are taking. Please do your research and talk to the company so that you are comfortable with what you are taking! My next lab test is in about a month and I know my results will be better. I love that this product is working for me and I really appreciate the time the company took to discuss my concerns. ***Update**** I just had my iron levels tested and I am thrilled to say that I they are finally in range! Below is a snapshot of my test dates, levels, and what I was taking. 21 May 17- Ferritin level - 21 (good range is 30-400) Prescribed iron pills 3xs a day 13 Jul 17- Ferritin level - 12.0 Dr thought I was not taking my pills, even though I was! 18 Aug 17- Ferritin level - 14.0 I found out about the July results in late July and promptly ordered liquid iron. I calculated the elemental iron in the pills and translated that to the liquid dose. First product was disgusting. I ordered Nova Ferrum and had been on it for two weeks when I had this test done. Dr said that my calculations were correct, but increased my dosage. 11 Oct 17- Ferritin level- 33 Taking Nova Ferrum 125. I needed to have my iron levels up for several reasons and I am so excited that I am now in range!!! About two weeks after starting Nova Ferrum, I saw a vast improvement in my energy and demeanor. It has been about six weeks and its so wonderful to not feel exhausted and cranky all the time!!

I've only taken a few doses so I cannot attest to how well it works for me yet. I'm anemic and have low iron absorbtion rate due to having had gastric bypass, so even if it doesn't work for me, doesn't mean it won't for you. I'm trying to find something that works for me, without horrible constipation or having to spend a ton of money on infusions. However, I can write a review and say that while the flavor isn't great, but it is tolerable. It definitely has a "fruity" metalic type taste, but it's not gross. I do experience an aftertaste of pennies for a few hours after. I will be continuing to finish the bottle in hopes it works for me better than capsules do. If it does and I start feeling a difference without experiencing too bad of constipation I'll definitely buy again.

Great item! Do not even hesitate to purchase. The taste is not that bad at all. Sweet even. BUUUT it most certainly raised my levels. From Iron transfusions because my levels were so low. After a year boom, low again. I've tried other brands because the pills make me nauseous. But after taking these had a 3 month follow up and my levels were in a normal range. FINALLY in the green. I'm now committed. I do now do intervals to not have too much iron intake as that may be dangerous, but after a week of intervals I do daily. Pretty much interchange because the increase in my level was rapid. Love this product though. I'm only reviewing as I'm here making my 3rd purchase!

I have EXTREMELY low iron levels and ferritin. so low i should probably have a transfusion and really should have been dead. but i have spent the past few years with fluctuation in my iron levels. I honestly contribute my low levels to what food I have ingested over the year before i have blood drawn. But also I have Hashimotos thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, uterine fibroid grapefruit size, and peri-menopause. Anyway, my GP wanted me to take a huge dose of iron tablets 3 times a day along with a stool softener but if you want your iron to be absorbed properly it should be taken on an empty stomach and you have to be careful with other medicine, etc etc. I don't have time for all that nor did i want to be compliant with her orders. So on to Amazon b/c I had heard that liquid iron absorption is quicker than pill form, and i found this product and spent a lot of time pouring through the reviews. The bottle comes with a little plastic spoon-like measure. I began taking half the spoon and after a week took a full spoon. I did this every day once a day for about 6-8 weeks. Labs came back indicating i brought my Iron from a 5 (embarrassing i know) to a 9 (yayyyy not so close to death). This last lab visit i was still at a 9 but i had not been as compliant with taking my iron every day first thing in the morning an hour before eating. however at the same time i was bad about a starbucks run everyday and we all know that coffee can inhibit the uptake of iron supplements. So now I am measuring 3tsp per day. The GP wants twice a day - i have time for once a day. And we'll see what the labs say in August ( but also I have started on the Whole30 elimination and I'm hoping it will have a positive effect on my labs as well). If there is anything i don't like about this product it would be the taste but certainly that is just a personal thing. Though I don't need the added sugar, I have to chug a tiny glass of OJ after taking the NovaFerrum 125. Then i take a big gulp of water. Whatever I can do to keep from gagging. Despite my personal issues with the taste I do have to say this is a quality product if you are looking for a quick way to up your iron levels. My goal is to keep taking until both my iron and ferritin levels are within normal limits and then I will begin taking a 25mg daily supplement until not needed.
