Mason Vitamins Slow Release Iron Compare to The Active Ingredients In Slow Fe, 60 Tablets (Pack of 2)

I first bought these out of desperation when my local stores no longer had Slo-Fe in stock. I'd already tried their store brands and every single one of them upset my stomach, or worse, sent my intestines into revolt. When I saw these on Amazon.com I figured that I had nothing else to lose ... I wasn't getting the iron that I needed, so I just HAD to keep trying to find a brand that worked for me. I have to say that the price was SO reasonable (less than half of what I was paying before) that I was just certain that I was wasting my time. I figured that buying the Mason brand would, at least, be an inexpensive mistake. Boy, was I wrong! These tablets work every bit as well as the Slo-Fe did and at a fraction of the cost! No stomach upset. No problems that caused me to be stuck in the bathroom all the time. And when my doctor did my usual lab tests, my iron levels were great! I have no idea whether or not Slo-Fe ever made its way back onto the shelves, because I don't even go down that aisle any longer. Why would I pay more than twice as much when I have a great product that works just fine for me? If you have to take iron every day, you really should try Mason's Slow Release Iron ... you might find out, as I did, that you've been overpaying for way too long!

I used to be anemic when I was younger during my menstrual cycles because of heavy blood loss. I stopped taking iron when I hit menopause at age 52 and I am now 54. I stayed tired, had cold hands and feet and dark cirlces under my eyes. I previously took a generic brand every now and then but would forget to take it daily. I am a busy school nurse. I read the great reviews on this product and liked that is is slow release small tablet and very affordable. Let's back up a bit, I check my blood work every year with a screening service and my levels are not real low but they are not real high, the levels are in between midrange and low. Just after taking them 2 days, my dark circles have almost disappeared and I feel less tired. I put these on auto ship for now. My sister eyes look like my used to, so I will give her a 2 week supply trial. They came in like 2 days! Thanks!!!

This slow release iron does the job! No stomach upset. Excellent product.

I have been taking these a few weeks now. I am happy they haven't caused me any constipation. I take one pill a day with a glass of orange juice. I haven't. Had my iron levels checked yet to know if they have been working the way i need them too though.

I needed extra iron during my pregnancy and my doctor recommended Slow FE, but I bought these instead since they were much cheaper and virtually same ingredient. I took one per day with orange juice for absorption. It worked out great and got my iron level up enough after taking it for 4 months. I had no bleeding issues during my c section.

Started taking these during the 2nd trimester of my pregnancy when I was starting to really feel drained. Within 3 days I felt so much better. Not as tired. Had my iron/anemia levels checked about a month after I started and my iron levels were great. My doctor said to continue to take them because they are working! I take one pill a day and have absolutely no digestive issues. I just feel better. Definitely would recommend.

I was recently diagnosed with anemia and my doctor prescribed 2-3 iron supplements daily to bring up my extremely low ferritin levels. I was told to use a popular slow release iron supplement, only to find out that it's not on the market presently. I found Mason Slow Release Iron and decided to try it. I was impressed with the lack of artificial coloring and the price was reasonable. I've taken this supplement for about a month and I have noticed very little to no gastric issues. Of course, I wouldn't recommend taking this supplement without a doctor's supervision as too much iron can adversely affect your health. But for those who have been directed by a physician to take an iron supplement, I would highly recommend this supplement!

I have to take iron twice a day for iron deficiency. If I take the regular kind it messes up my stomach and leaves a metal taste in my mouth. I was spending a small fortune for slo-fe then about a year and a half ago I saw this and gave it a try. My stomach has no problem with taking it (cause I take it twice a day so it really would mess it up) and my doctor is happy with my lab results. So if you need to take iron I can honestly say to take this.
