Description
IRON IS THE MOST COMMON NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY IN THE WORLD!* If you find yourself unable to focus, battling fatigue, have feelings of muscle weakness, or just can’t get warm, you might be low in iron. And you’re not alone: The CDC reports approximately 10% of U.S. women between 12-49 years of age are iron deficient. MegaFood® Blood Builder® is a best-selling product for a reason: it's clinically shown to increase iron levels and reduce fatigue without common gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea or constipation†.* Designed to build the blood, we make it with real food like beets and organic oranges, plus folic acid and B12 for healthy red blood cell production, and vitamin C to support iron absorption.* Oh, and it’s gentle enough to take any time of day, even on an empty stomach.

Q: does this increase iron stores (ferritin) or just iron levels?
submitted by IronClad - 2 years ago
A:Â Thank you for your question. We do always recommend that you talk with your doctor before starting supplements to make sure this is the right formula for you as an individual. According to your clinical study,there were statistically significant improvements in every measure of iron status: Serum Ferritin, Hemoglobin and Total Body Iron Stores all increased.There were also statistically significant decreases in the severity and frequency of fatigue. Additionally, there were no reports of negative GI side effects typically associated with iron supplementation (e.g. nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation). Please check out bloodbuilder.com for more information.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ran out of these pills and I was starting to feel weak again. I had daily headaches and it was hard to do basic cardio because of my anemia and iron deficiency. Once I began to retake these, my daily headaches were pretty much gone. I take these on an empty stomach every morning with no issues.

I have chronically low iron stores (not anemia) and have spent years trying supplements only to go off due to the side effects of iron. This is the only supplement I can daily take that does not cause severe constipation! My iron stores are finally in a healthy range.
