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

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 day 13 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!!

Excellent product! I donate plasma and getting my iron levels up was impossible until I tried WOW! I highly recommend this yo anyone having trouble with tablets, tastes good and easy to take. Thanks so much!

I've only taken a few doses so I cannot attest to how well it works for me yet. I'm anemic and have low iron absorbtion rate due to having had gastric bypass, so even if it doesn't work for me, doesn't mean it won't for you. I'm trying to find something that works for me, without horrible constipation or having to spend a ton of money on infusions. However, I can write a review and say that while the flavor isn't great, but it is tolerable. It definitely has a "fruity" metalic type taste, but it's not gross. I do experience an aftertaste of pennies for a few hours after. I will be continuing to finish the bottle in hopes it works for me better than capsules do. If it does and I start feeling a difference without experiencing too bad of constipation I'll definitely buy again.

Purchased for my wife who also receives iron injections

Even after having taken solid and chelated iron pills for months, I still had critical iron numbers, so I purchased this and take it along with Ferritin Tablets (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00014ECFO/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00014ECFO&linkCode=as2&tag=4abettelife&linkId=05e3444c188fee00d3e841cb8fab7ae9 ) It comes in a box with a marked plastic measuring spoon (nice!). I take it on an empty stomach, at least an hour before a meal. I chase it with 12 ounces of orange juice (details below). I am careful to take it separate from calcium, or magnesium, or zinc - I understand these can interfere with iron absorption. If I take my multi-vitamins in the morning, I do the iron at night, or vice versa. Within DAYS I could tell my iron levels were improving. I could breathe more easily, my energy levels were much much higher, and I could do triple the exercises I did days before. I love this product. It's pleasant to the tongue. (I do chase it with a glass of orange juice, because iron absorbs better when taken with vitamin C, and because it prevents nausea). I will tell you though, I titrated my does (started with half the dose, then worked my way up as my body got used to it), because iron is really hard on the system (very oxidizing to the stomach and intestines). The first day I took it, I didn't take it with enough liquid and within 20 minutes I was very nauseous. But it was bearable, only lasted 40 minutes, then went away completely. Then I started chasing it with 8-12 ounces orange juice, with much less nausea. I do NOT recommend mixing the iron into the orange juice. 1. It's icky sweet together and 2. the iron can stain your teeth, or so I've read. I spoon the iron into the back of my mouth, swallow it, then drink my OJ. For a week, after each dose I had slight sternum discomfort (this is a well-documented side-effect of iron-loading, and was for me proof positive it was working. It calmed down after about a week. It has not happened since my body has built up my iron numbers.) To reduce the harsh oxidizing effects on the stomach and intestines, I also take a variety of anti-oxidants with it (omega 3, ALA, and EGCG). For maximum absorption, I also take 1 ounce of water with vitamin c because 12 oz OJ isn't enough Vit C to ensure there's enough immediately available Vit C for max iron absorption. For what it's worth, I did do research on whether the body absorbs more iron if you take higher doses, and the answer seems to be, "not so much". They even say absorption seems better if you only take it once a day, not twice. So if you have nausea on the full dose, you may do just as well iron-loading with the 1/2 dose. I do intend to update my post when I have my newest blood test numbers to show the before-and-after, but I need 3 months for that. I bought a second bottle, will purchase again. Highly, Highly Recommended.

Great product, easy to take and on stomach

UPDATE: 5 weeks since last labs and my iron doubled and my ferritin went up 10 points. My saturation went up by 11%. Taking this everyday 5 ml. With food. So far it’s been 4 days and I feel so much better than I did 4 days ago. I have low ferritin and low iron and saturation and was desperate to find a solution since my ferrous sulfate pills didn’t seem to be doing anything except making me dizzy and feel terrible. Will update when I get labs done again in a month. But as of right now I’ll be buying another bottle when this one is gone. Taste is fine. I chase it with some juice or water.

It works but it will leave your teeth and lips black for days and people will think you have the plague. Also tastes terrible.
