Wellesse Liquid Iron Natural Berry

I am chronically anemic and need to take iron supplements from time to time. Iron tablets do a real number on my gut and I suffer. I have recently started taking Liquid Iron. I make a "cocktail" of a half ounce of the iron and 500 mg. of powdered vitamin c. I also add a good serving of clear dissolving fiber to the mix. I add a cup or more of water, either hot or cold depending on weather. It is tasty and I have less digestive issues.

I am one week post-RNYGB and this liquid iron is very easy to take. In fact, at our support meeting, I am the only patient who has already restarted iron and the only one taking a liquid vitamin. Continuing to get enough iron is especially important to me as I have struggled with anemia *before* surgery due to perimenopause. That is why I gave this product 4 stars for value. It is much more expensive than a $3 bottle of basic coated iron supplements. Unfortunately, those iron supplements won't do anyone much good if they stay sitting in the bottle because *new* stomachs cannot handle them. I have not been taking these long enough, nor have I had my iron levels tested, so I cannot speak to the effectiveness of this product.The bottle flavor is supposed to be mixed ... MoreI am one week post-RNYGB and this liquid iron is very easy to take.

I'm not getting a berry flavor, but YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary). I think this tastes exactly like spiced apple cider. The consistency is quite fluid with a little more body than water, just like the cloudy kind of apple cider. You could mix this easily with other things. I find it very tolerable plain.Watch the serving size though. Unlike the 2 T. servings of multivitamin and calcium in this line, you only take 1 T. of the iron, or 32 days, so purchase accordingly. Bear in mind, however, that if you needed extra iron before surgery, you may be instructed to take two doses and then the bottle would equal the same 16 days of supplementation as the other two.I've been lucky and my stomach is handling liquids, including these vitamins, easily. I'm also tolerating a couple of small, non-chewable tablet medications too, so maybe I could have managed another type of vitamin. Still, I'm glad that I have them for at least the first month post-surgery for peace of mind.

High Quality. Great Taste. Easy to take and store. Price could not have been better. Highly recommend this product especially for people with anemia like me. Never had this brand before. I was very impressed with my symptoms improvement. Only once a day for Frequency. I herbs has great products.
