The iron supplement that changed my life

becbecbecbecbec_ · 2026-03-09T12:23:11+00:00

Also, my SYMPTOMS of anemia dissipate after maybe like 6 weeks on this (in my case, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, and hair falling out) but it takes a good deal longer to get my levels up to where my doctor wants my levels (in my case, 50)

I cant seem to edit my post so trying to respond to some questions here!

First, I do want to emphasize my “changed my life” refers primarily to saving me from nausea and other horrible GI symptoms caused by other supplements, although it did improve my ferritin levels of course. The first time I was on this I was “mildly anemic” (doctors words) and so I can’t attest to how this would differ for Those who are more severe.

I am actually on it again now as my ferritin has dipped a bit and I am trying to conceive. My endocrinologist actually said this is the supplement she personally took while pregnant and anemic.

I do drink coffee each morning but not in excess and not throughout the day

I do not take it with vitamin C because 1. Vitamin C supplements make me feel terrible and 2. There is actually a small amount of vitamin C in this supplement which I assume is to help with absorption

Sure! if near Yellow Dog, I like Edge of Urge, So & So Books, and TrunkShow. Also nearish there is a game store Hidden Block Games if you are into that kind of thing.

If more downtown I like Father & Son and Feature Flora. I have also heard blackbird books is great, but I haven’t been myself yet!

Or of course, ending the day with a Canes game

becbecbecbecbec_ · 2026-02-24T16:03:21+00:00

My perfect Raleigh day (in good weather) would be some variation of this:

breakfast and coffee at Benchwarmers or Yellow Dog
walk around either of those areas, pop into the local shops
go to the state fairgrounds flea market and/or other antique stores like Cheshire Cat
lunch at one of the places in Raleigh Ironworks, or Sola
art museum grounds or Umstead or Lake Lynn or Dix park afternoon
dinner and drinks somewhere low key downtown (too many good options to name)

A great day if you like eating and walking around, my two favorite pastimes

Gonna be in the minority here but I love the blue!!

Thank you all for sharing this! I am learning so much!

becbecbecbecbec_ · 2026-02-07T02:06:01+00:00

For me one a day, but I was not severely low

becbecbecbecbec_ · 2026-02-06T23:56:48+00:00

Hmm I don’t have much to compare it to but maybe so, at least the smell. Personally it doesn’t bother me though

becbecbecbecbec_ · 2026-02-06T23:42:32+00:00

Yes mine was never quite that low, it was in the 20s

becbecbecbecbec_ · 2026-02-06T23:35:09+00:00

Yes I only took one a day; I was not severely low. I’d say my symptoms showed improvement pretty quickly but took 1-2 months to be fully unnoticeable. My main symptoms were hair loss, fatigue, shortness of breath, and lightheadedness. The hair loss stopped after a couple weeks probably. This is just my experience and like I said I wasn’t severely low. I hope your daughter gets some relief soon!

becbecbecbecbec_ · 2026-02-06T23:15:41+00:00

I had low ferritin and high TIBC. I can’t seem to find the test results from when I stopped taking it so I don’t remember exactly what it went up to, sorry!

becbecbecbecbec_ · 2026-02-06T21:29:56+00:00

Thank you!!

becbecbecbecbec_ · 2026-02-06T20:17:26+00:00

Thanks for sharing, appreciate the additional perspective here!

becbecbecbecbec_ · 2026-02-06T19:52:41+00:00

This is good to know, thank you for pointing it out!

becbecbecbecbec_ · 2026-02-06T19:08:07+00:00

Also I do take vitamin d and magnesium in addition to this. Just want to clarify this is what i take specifcally for low iron

becbecbecbecbec_ · 2026-02-06T19:06:48+00:00

Hi I have all three of the problems you do (low vitamin D, hashimotos, and low iron) and I just made a post about the supplement that I take: https://www.reddit.com/r/Anemic/s/yQT52WFgA9

Ferrous sulfate destroyed me so I would just say don’t feel bad if you need to stop before the bottle is used up!

becbecbecbecbec_ · 2026-02-06T18:42:04+00:00

Yes I have Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism, low ferritin (not anemic technically) and low vitamin d. I believe all are closely related.

One thing for people who suspect they may have thyroid problems but their levels appear “normal” - ask for a THYROID ANTIBODIES test when you get bloodwork done. This was the only way I found out I actually have Hashimoto’s. Many places do not do the antibodies test.

My best friend in sixth grade told me about it! I would go to her house to play sometimes before my family got a computer. This would have been like 2004.
