Customer Reviews

This is a game-changer for anemic people...I literally just got my shipment in and ordered a ton more this iron has changed my life! I'm not being sarcastic and nobody paid me to say this. I have the sickle cell trait in my family and most of the people in my family are anemic and I have ignored it for years and recently I have been struggling to lower my cholesterol so I completely cut out beef and when I did that for 3 weeks straight I went to work and laid in the bed and it's all I could do and I felt like I was getting ready to die. I was taking iron tablets but it takes them too long to break down into your bloodstream and I didn't realize that. I bought this liquid iron because I kind of figured it out by accident and within a few days the change started. I've been taking it for almost 2 weeks and I feel amazing. Today at the gym I jog for 1 minute and I have not been able to jog for almost a year-and-a-half. A minute is nothing to you all but it was amazing for me. This has been a game-changer for me.Truthfully for my whole 41 years of living I have been feeling very cruddy and no one tried to help me I rarely went to the doctor growing up so I didn't even know what to do and have to figure these things out by myself to be honest. So basically after 41 years I feel great! 5This iron smooths out the wrinkles of my lifeI have "female problems" that leave me anemic. I have been on and off iron x10 years. I mostly took ferrous gluconate for the first 8 years and for the last 2 years, I have taken ferrous sulfate. My hemoglobin has been as low as 7-point-something. For the last 2 years, however, I just could not manage to get it up even at 325 mg 3 times a day, which is at least a dose higher than usual for ferrous sulfate I do believe (??). Anyhow, I started researching other forms of iron. I stumbled on this. I had lab results on 05/15, started taking this a month later in June, and I had lab tests again 07/16. My hemoglobin went from 10.3 to 11.2. It had been 10.3 and 10.2 for many many months which is incredible considering the amount of iron I was taking and for how long. August 31rst, I have more lab work, and I will update again. Hopefully, I won't require any supplemental iron at that point. (I may be dreaming--my actual iron stores are nearly zero.) I give 99.9% of the credit to Wellesse's iron. I feel so much better. This very day, I have started taking Wellesse's liquid multivitamin. I apparently have absorption issues, and it is amazing how much better I feel--not today, in general! I'm a believer.Other changes made which are significant: I quit taking omeprazole, started taking Advocare Spark drink daily (I was B12 deficient, too) April-ish. However, I hadn't taken omeprazole, which can interfere with absorption of vitamins and minerals, for the past 10 years. I also had not been B12 deficient the entire past 10 years. I just reasoned if I could get healthy enough, my body could repair my stomach and other issues. It seems to be working. I watch my fingernails grow out and it's amazing how you can see how absorbing nutrients plays a role in fingernail ridges, etc. I'm very happy with this product. I'm very happy with this brand. I wish they made magnesium which I started taking about a month ago.To clarify, my only change originally was adding Wellesse iron, stopping ferrous sulfate and omeprazole--and my hemoglobin jumped up by 0.9. I just recently added magnesium and today added a multivitamin. Spark was added several months back. I can't wait to find out what it is in a couple of weeks. Thank you. 5Im not sure if this is active?I've been taking every day since it arrived and I dont feel as if its working at all-I have in the past taken tablets and start to notice the difference in a week or so-I think maybe this is not active/ or probably old- I could not find an expatriation date on the bottle anywhere-Dont understand why there was no measuring cup with it either-most liquid supplements I have taken in the past have them...I was hoping a liquid form of iron would work faster , however I have been disappointed so far- Plan on picking some tablets up at my local CVS today-I find that supplements on Amazon are hit and miss and I think I will just go to the drug store for now on-I would not recomend this to a friend- 1I feel a differenceI am not a supplement person but, after experiencing hair thinning post-menopause, I wanted to give this product a try. I know from medical visits my iron level is always at the low end of acceptable even though I try to eat thoughtfully. Well, I felt a difference in energy and mental clarity as soon as I started using this product. I thought it might be a placebo effect but I also suffer with edema, which went down by half, as well. That's proof for me that this iron supplement works. I will buy again for sure. As for my hair, I think there has been a slight improvement in growth but definitely an improvement in texture. 5What a difference in fighting severe exhaustion and weakness!My dad had open heart surgery and exited the hospital severely anemic. The doctor's told him that he was going to need to either incorporate a large amount of iron-rich foods into his diet or start taking an iron supplement, or both. Even though I cooked iron-rich meals during the time that I was able to stay with him and care for him, it wasn't nearly enough. He was so fatigued and weak, experiencing lightheadedness and shortness of breath that his doctors were concerned when they saw him. He was supposed to be going on walks every day to build up his cardiovascular health, but he didn't have the energy to do them, and whenever he tried, he got so exhausted after even a small walk that he would have to sit down and rest for almost an hour before he would feel comfortable getting back up and walking again. They gave him a prescription for a liquid iron and he hated it. I researched anemia and iron supplements and read a ton of reviews on Amazon, finally settling on Wellesse. What a lifesaver! First, he has stomach problems because off the meds he has been on for the surgery; second, pill forms take longer to absorb than liquids. This is clearly gentle on the stomach and has not caused him any problems. This stuff tastes like a thickened grape juice or maybe prune juice, not the nasty coppery, medicine-y taste you get with other supplements. He mixes it with his grape juice in the morning and doesn't even notice the taste (I did try it myself, and found that it does taste better straight if it has first been refrigerated). Because this is amino acid chelate, it is already highly bioavailable, and I think that makes a huge difference. After one month, he went to the doctor for a follow-up and the doc was amazed! He actually took the time to call me and thank me for getting him on the supplement and tell me how impressed he was with the change in my dad because he had previously been so worried. Dad went from not being able to walk more than 100 yards without being out of breath to being able to walk several miles at a rapid pace. One month later, having continued taking the Wellesse, he is jogging 5 miles and then hiking another mile up a very steep mountain. I went with him for a few days and had a hard time keeping up with him. He just today went for bloodwork and we will get the results in a few days, but the dramatic improvement in his energy level and cardiovascular health speaks volumes. I highly recommend this supplement! 5Well Tolerated Beneficial SupplementI wanted to follow up on a lowered blood count, which popped back up again once I left the hospital. I also had been weaker, more tired, more easily fatigued. Found out my iron was low.I was NOT diagnosed as having any iron deficiency anemia, nor did I have any GI bleeding, which could account for a lower iron. All influence the type and dose of iron supplement needed.I first reviewed my meds with my physician to make sure there were no interactions.I looked for a low dose supplement with minimal potential side effects. To augment my diet. Found Wellesse.The amount of iron this supplies is 18mg - the amount required for women aged 19 to 50 - to compensate for menstrual losses. Subtle hint: the curve of the Wellesse bottle - but it just makes it easier to hold.Since adult males require 8 mg this provides a little extra to compensate for what I am not getting by diet alone.From what I read the iron glycinate chelate has fewer side effects and is better tolerated than ferrous sulfate.I take this with a vitamin C supplement to promote absorption. You can put it in a citrus juice to accomplish the same end. Instructions state to not take this within two hours - before or after- taking any calcium products. Just FYI things like cocoa, coffee and some fruits contain polyphenols that can inhibit iron absorption. There alot to consider with iron. Like not taking too much.More is not better with iron.This is easy to take. I use a highly visible measuring cup to get my 15 ml or cc dose. I am a klutz so using a tablespoon would just make me spill it more often than not.Nice taste. Berry flavored. With a touch of sweetness from the Stevia.Although it can be kept at room temperature, I keep it refrigerated.That weakness, tired feeling and fatigability has resolved with this. I also changed my diet to add more heme iron sources. Those are more bio-available than nonheme plant iron sources.I have taken this for over two months.Had no adverse effects. None of the common side effects reported with iron supplements.Amazon sells this at a great price.I love it. 5Taking for Iron Deficiency AnemiaI purchased this because my husband has low iron due to a chronic absorption condition. He has a hard time with iron pills so he ended up needing two iron infusions. Now, he takes this liquid iron every day and it has helped so much. He has more energy and is able to tolerate it better. It seems to be working as he hasn't needed an infusion since he started taking this every day.We started off with 1tsp instead of a full dose just to make sure he could tolerate it. His doctor told him to mix it in with orange juice. It's certified gluten free and it doesn't taste bad. We just purchased another bottle - That's how much he loves it! 5A great tasting iron supplementI ordered this product after tracking my nutrients on the MyFitnessPal app and realizing I was not getting nearly enough iron even with a super healthy diet. In two days, this product has made a huge difference in my energy levels. My mind also feels more clear, I am more productive, and my mood, though not too bad to begin with, has improved. It tastes fine. I take it with alfalfa tablets as chlorophyll helps the body to absorb iron. I learned this from my doctor when I was pregnant and anemic. It cured my anemia in just a few days, and I stayed on these two supplements the rest of my pregnancy. If you're nervous about taking it, start with just 1/3 or 1/2 dose for a few days to see how your body responds. I need only 1/2 dose since my diet contains some iron. 5WARNING: Please read- Do NOT combine this supplement with vitamin CCAUTION- PLEASE READ: This supplement contains a preservative called sodium benzoate, which, when combined with Vitamin C/citric acid, can create and release a known carcinogen called benzene. The latter is a cancer-causing chemical associated with leukemia and other blood cancers.Google it, you'll find tons of info on it.Unfortunately, it's a cheap preservative for companies to use. It's especially disconcerting that it would be put in an iron supplement, because the most common vitamin taken with iron is vitamin C, due to the fact that it helps absorption. (You'll often see vitamin C added to iron supplements for this reason.)I really hope that one day the sketchy preservatives will be better regulated. Whatever you do, don't take this item with Vitamin C!! I am putting my pennies towards a safer supplement. I hope that others do too. Sooo not worth the potential for accidentally creating cancer/leukemia causing carcinogens(!!) - To me at least.Wishing you good health! 1AMAZING TEST RESULTS PROVE IT WORKSThis product has been the only iron supplement that has worked for me. I love that it is easy to take, didn't upset my stomach and I personally enjoy the flavor. I was severely anemic. Since starting this product about ten months ago my serum iron has gone up nearly 100 points from 37 to 135! Even my doctor is amazed. For me, this product absolutely works where others have failed. Thank God, I am feeling so much better. I wish you all health and happiness. 5
