by Anonymous[Verified Reviewer] in Undisclosed on 1/21/08
Excellent iron supplement. It doesn't bother my stomach and has given me the energy I need. The tablets are a bit hard to remove from the package, but that's the only negative (which isn't a big deal). I would recommend the item. I have been taking it for one year.

Best iron supplement on the market. Gentle to stomach, and makes me feel a lot less tired.

by Sherri S[Verified Reviewer] in Mt. Vernon, IN on 6/29/00
I've suffered from anemia since I was a little girl, but always hated to take the iron supplements I needed because of the side effects. I tried the Slow Fe Slow Release Iron Tablets and liked them! I didn't experience the side effects that I have with other iron supplements, such as stomach upset and constipation. I also noticed that I didn't seem to get that feeling of real exhaustion at the end of the day like I have in the past. I don't think the Slow Fe Slow Release Iron tablets gave me energy -- the feeling was more like stamina.

by Kim L[Verified Reviewer] in Zachary, LA on 6/28/00
I particularly liked Slow Fe Slow Release Iron because of its small size, which made it easy to swallow. Unlike other Iron tablets, these tablets had no strong smell. However, the recommended daily dosage for adults was one or two tablets daily with a maximum of four to be taken. I'd prefer to take only one tablet a day. For sensitive stomachs, this product would be perfect.

by Darlene L[Verified Reviewer] in Hooper, UT on 6/22/00
At my age any extra iron is almost a must-have. The tablets have no odor or taste, which is a definite plus. The only negative thing was that they were hard to remove from the package. I'll continue taking them and would recommend them.

by Jana D[Verified Reviewer] in Seattle, WA on 6/22/00
I don't really like the packaging -- it's too hard to open. But it's handy to break one tablet off to throw in my purse, and not have it roll around loose. Overall, this seems to be a good product. I haven't had any problems or adverse side effects.
