NovaFerrumWow, 125 High Potency Liquid Iron Supplement for Adults, Iron Deficiency, 125mg of Iron Per 5mL Dose, Vegan Verified, Gluten Free Certified, Sugar Free

I tended to always have very low iron levels and it was always difficult increasing my iron and maintaining it at a decent number. Anyways , recently during my third trimester of pregnancy I needed to get my iron up as my due date was approaching and I wanted to avoid having a blood transfusion. When I tell you , this worked wonders!!! It jumped my iron up in a little over 2 months . Results attached. I take it every morning on an empty stomach and follow it with some orange juice or water with a little lime ** juice . Also, it did not give me any constipation or that terrible upset stomach that I’d get with regular iron tablets. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend! The taste is not bad at all. I personally like the taste contrary to some of the reviews I am seeing . It tastes exactly how I would expect it to, a little earthy with a touch of a sweet aftertaste (the added flavoring) . Just remember to brush after to prevent staining !!!

I am anemic and my Dr prescribed iron pills to be taken 3 times a day. When I went for my first lab test, my iron levels were even lower and my Dr did not think I was taking the pills, even though I was. I decided to try liquid iron as I thought it might be absorbed better. I ordered a different brand of liquid iron (not this product review) and the taste was horrible. It had to be taken in two doses and refrigerated and I was seriously wondering what I was going to do, because there was no way I could stomach that product. I decided try NovaFerrum 125 Liquid Iron. I bought my first bottle and was pleased to see that the taste was not bad at all. This is pretty great, since I have a hard eating disgusting medicine or foods. The liquid is dark in color with a reddish tint and I love that it does not have to be refrigerated. That makes it so much easier! I do drink Emergen C afterward, to help with absorption.I started taking NovaFerrum about two weeks before my second lab test and my iron levels did go up. I was thrilled to see that after two weeks of liquid iron, there is an improvement, whereas with two months of pills, I was worse off. I must say that I do feel better. I have increased energy and I am not as exhausted. Frankly, I wake up about 15 minutes before my alarm goes off and I no longer hit snooze for two hours before I have the energy to crawl out of bed! My Dr asked what I was taking and she said normally they do not recommend liquid because it stains teeth. However, I reassured her I do brush my teeth right afterward and I have not had any problems. She recommended a higher dosage than what is on the bottle, due to my specific circumstances. When I took the pills, I had constipation, but no other problems. On NovaFerrum, even on a higher dosage, I have had no problems at all.I ordered my second bottle of NovaFerrum and I had a question about the color. I emailed the supplier and explained my concern. The supplier emailed me telling me to call a 1-800 number, but did not say anything else. Unbeknownst to me, the 1-800 number was the pharmaceutical company that makes the product. The beginning of the conversation was a little bit awkward as I thought it was the supplier, but once I realized who I was talking to, things were much better.If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to Gensavis Pharmaceuticals. When I called, I spoke to a real person right away, who was able to help me. I received quite a bit of information, even more than I had expected, and although I was happy with the NovaFerrum before the call, afterward, I felt even better. I cannot stress this enough. I have a long way to go towards fixing my anemia, but being able to talk to someone at the pharmaceutical company who was willing to explain how the medicine is stored at the company site, answer questions, give me a direct number to call that specific person back, and encouraged me to do so, made me feel like I had someone else on my side while I am dealing with this issue. If you are taking a medication and you have a concern, you should reach out to the company, because I truly think that everyone needs to feel comfortable with what they are taking. Please do your research and talk to the company so that you are comfortable with what you are taking!My next lab test is in about a month and I know my results will be better. I love that this product is working for me and I really appreciate the time the company took to discuss my concerns.***Update****I just had my iron levels tested and I am thrilled to say that I they are finally in range! Below is a snapshot of my test dates, levels, and what I was taking.21 May 17- Ferritin level - 21 (good range is 30-400) Prescribed iron pills 3xs a day13 Jul 17- Ferritin level - 12.0 Dr thought I was not taking my pills, even though I was!18 Aug 17- Ferritin level - 14.0 I found out about the July results in late July and promptly ordered liquid iron. I calculated the elemental iron in the pills and translated that to the liquid dose. First product was disgusting. I ordered Nova Ferrum and had been on it for two weeks when I had this test done. Dr said that my calculations were correct, but increased my dosage.11 Oct 17- Ferritin level- 33 Taking Nova Ferrum 125.I needed to have my iron levels up for several reasons and I am so excited that I am now in range!!! About two weeks after starting Nova Ferrum, I saw a vast improvement in my energy and demeanor. It has been about six weeks and its so wonderful to not feel exhausted and cranky all the time!!

Great product! It is shelf stable, has a neutral taste, and is non-constipating. As someone who struggles with anemia, this really helps me get through the day. I recommend this product highly.

Brought my slumping iron levels up in short order ! It has a rather peculiar taste , So I've Resorted to Putting the dose In Coffee pot. I have also mixed it with An afternoon soda. Iron levels Return to normal Rather quickly.

This liquid iron is so easy to take. The taste is just fine considering your taking iron! It is raising my numbers helping me to avoid IV infusions. I recommend this product whole heartedly. Follow doctors instructions. Start low dose, it can cause bathroom issues. That seems to subside once your adjusted. I have used 4 bottles so far and pray I can always get this specific supply.

This stuff is great, but it tastes nasty! I’ve taken it for months and I gag every.single.time. Only way I can describe it is it’s like drinking blood out of a cast iron pan…thick, heavy, metallic, blood taste. But, it’s concentrated iron, so can’t expect much else. (I have a friend who also takes this and the taste doesn’t bother her). So why do I keep taking it? Because it’s the only iron I’ve ever taken that doesn’t mess up my stomach or have any unwanted side effects. And because it is highly absorbable and actually works for raising my ferritin/iron levels (I’m anemic due to menorrhagia). It’s well worth the daily gag!!

I was suspicious that this would taste Geritol-ish or iron-y, but it does not! It has a faint, pleasant, berry flavor that does not linger. Nor, do you burp it up later! I have no idea if it is upping my iron levels yet, but when I get my labs done again, I will update this review to let you know! The spoon it comes with is so small, you end up spilling a small amount on whatever surface you are on and it is quite sticky, so I recommend using a bigger spoon to avoid this...

My kids don't love the taste, or the thick texture but I can tell that it is helping them with their iron deficiency.
