Iron Gummies for Women & Kids - with Vitamin C, B12, B6, Zinc - Blood Builder & Energy - Iron Supplement Gummies Support for Iron Deficiency, Anem...

This review is for the Sept Yan "Iron Gummies". These pills are shipped with a seal on top of the bottle as well as around the cap, there is no information on where they were manufactured. The bottle I received has an expiry date of 4/2026, so good for about 20 months from when I received them. The gummy texture is fine, and their first impression taste is a very lightly grape flavor, but they have an awful aftertaste with the metallic taste lingering for a while. The first 2 ingredients listed are sugar, so it's understandable that these are 12 calories per serving. As far as being a multivitamin, they are missing a few items that other dedicated multi-vitamins are, but if you're looking for iron, these have 100% of the daily value. The other issue with these is that a serving is 2 gummies, so a bottle will only last a month, whereas you could get a regular pill that would have the same or more vitamins, only have to take a single one, and get a 6 months supply for about the same price. It's a high premium to have a sweeter way to take vitamins.

The flavor and texture of this gummy is good, its not overly sweet. I did take one star off, because these are gummy vitamins (attracting children) The cap isnt necessary child safe, if you pull really hard the lid can come off. But they are a higher dose of gummy iron supplements, most are 2 for 10g, so this could be a count savings, being that 1 is 9 g of Iron.

None of my review should be taken as a testimonial to the efficacy or quality of an unregulated product. For unregulated dietary supplements I look at the company for reputation and if they have submitted their product for third party certification for purity, quality, consistency, and lack of adulterants. Sept Yan isn't well-known, but they do sell their products on more than just ZeeBooth. So they are more than just a drive by seller unloading products. This gives me some confidence in their market staying power and commitment to not selling fake products. They do not appear to send their products for third party verification. Unregulated supplements are notorious for inconsistency in dosing, impure ingredients, and adulterants (including lead) in their products. Without third party testing I have low confidence in the product and do not think I'd order again. A small amount of sugar (not overly sweet, six extra calories) helps cover up the iron taste. There's a minor aftertaste of iron. The label indicates other vitamins and supplements that claim to help bio-absorption.

This is probably the tastiest iron supplement (or any supplement for that matter) I've ever tried. If you need extra iron, this is a great way to go!

There sure are a lot of nutrients packed in these gummies. They taste delicious, and this makes it easy to be motivated to take them two times a day. The grape flavor pleasant and they don't taste artificial. I appreciate that they come in a child safe container because gummy vitamins do look and taste like candy, and it's important to keep them safe from children.
