A friend of mine recommends this supplement for iron deficiency anemia, as she has tried several others that did not agree with her: http://www.greatearth.com/search.html?searchword=iron.

She says - I’ll know how effective it is in a few weeks when I get retested. I think it is working because the heart palpitations have stopped and my energy level has improved.

Some alternative methods for iron deficiency anemia could be the following:

a. Using goats' milk instead of cows' milk.
b. Gluten-free diet resolves some instances of iron-deficiency anemia.


In addition, If the cause is dietary iron deficiency, iron supplements, usually with iron (II) sulfate, ferrous gluconate, or iron amino acid chelate, will usually correct the anemia.

Dairy can block the absorption of iron.

If you are celiac, eating gluten can cause you to be anemic. My friend had herself tested and so far it looks like she is not celiac.

She has tried many, many iron supplements and most do not agree with her - they cause stomach problems, heartburn, or other problems or they just don't work. But this new supplement seems to agree with her and she has read on another forum where others say they like it.

Hello, I've more iron than I need in my blood. Maybe I can give you some smile
The weird thing is that my supplement contains only 20% of the RDA of iron, yet I'm at around 125%. Maybe if I tell you what I eat you can catch up. I take a multivitamin supplement everyday, I put olive oil on almost everything I eat, I eat canned tuna, I rarely drink cow's milk, I eat rice, pasta, spaghetti, then loads of salad everyday, and I do eat low fat cow yoghurt almost everyday.
