Seeking Health Optimal Iron - Supplement Supports Iron Metabolism & Aids Utilization - Formula with Vitamin C & Riboflavin to Support Absorption -...

I use these because of low iron levels. They work well!

Seeking Health is one of my favorite supplements brand because their products always contain the important cofactors that encourage absorption and appropriate metabolism. This is the only Iron supplement that I can tolerate, which is really important because I suffer from chronic anemia due to 2 highly destructive chronic diseases. I usually needed 2 courses (2 infusions each) a year, but once I found this Iron w/ cofactors product, I have been able to go a lot longer between infusions. The chelated form of iron, plus the digestive enzymes, allows me to tolerate it without any nausea, stomach upset or constipation. The cofactors of Vitamin C and copper are specifically essential, and the others also support your bodys ability to metabolize the iron. It is important to make sure you take a multivitamin or mineral supplement that contains zinc along with this which is important when taking copper. Also, dont take any calcium supplements within 2 hours of taking an iron supplement, because they inhibit absorption of both minerals so basically cancel each other out. Seeking Health has a great multivitamin that you can get w/o iron that contains calcium and zinc, so works well with this iron supplement. If you suffer from chronic inflammation (including digestive/gut absorption issues) which can be an issue with increased histamines in your body, try their probiotics product called ProBiota HistaminX, Liposomal Vitamin C, and HomocysteX Plus (contains a great combination of essential B vitamins that are important cofactors that help break down excessive histamines and help the byproducts clear your liver more easily). I have a medical degree with a sub specialty in naturopathic and homeopathic medicine, so I have done a ton of research on supplements, and having worked in clinical research for 22 years, understand GMP and the importance of independent 3rd party testingwhich many supplement manufacturers claim they follow, but since the FDA doesnt regulate the manufacturing and sales of nutritional supplements, they dont get involved unless they receive numerous reports of serious reactions. I have been using Seeking Health products since my diagnosis in 2018, and they are one of the few more affordable, yet high quality, brands that I happily recommend to everyone who consults with me.

I seem to have trouble with a lot of iron supplements. I like the addition of the various co-factors that seem to enhance absorbency. I use other products in this line and believe they are thoughtfully produced with quality ingredients. I will continue to buy.

I have to periodically taken an iron supplement and this one is my go-to because it does not make me nauseated. Great quality, based on quarterly bloodwork. This one does the job!

Regular iron supplements (the ones I find in stores) really upset my stomach, and I would burp up a metallic taste all day (which made me feel like I was going to vomit). Slow-release iron didn't cause the taste, but it still bothered my stomach a LOT. So, I thought this iron supplement was worth a try. The Stomach still bothers me a little, but it's a tolerable amount. This does not constipate me like other iron supplements do, also. The pills are small and easy to swallow. They do not cause any metallic tastes. I'll probably keep taking them for a while, although I have no idea if they're actually doing anything yet.
