Q: Would it help iron absorption if taking vitamin c along slowFe?
submitted by Elsa - 8 months ago
A: Hello! Slow Fe can be taken with or without food. Iron is absorbed best on an empty stomach, 1 hour before meals or 2 hours after meals. However, it can also be taken with a full glass of water or juice. Vitamin C can help iron absorb better in the body, but note that we do not have data on the impacts of taking Slow Fe along with vitamin C, so we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider on the appropriate regimen for you. As with any supplement or medication, we recommend you consult your healthcare provide prior to use if you have any medical conditions or are taking other medications and/or supplements. /Slow Fe Brand Team/

Caused stomach cramps and constipation
1 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
FLGA girl - 9 months ago
I am so disappointed with the slow Fe as this caused me to have severe constipation. I was diagnosed by my doctor after blood work to be anemic and this was what my doctor recommended I take to increase my iron levels. After reading the other reviews I was feeling good about trying it. It caused me to become severely constipated for 3 days and have severe stomach cramps and become bloated. I only took it for 2 days and it took almost a week to recover back to feeling normal. I am back to square one now trying to figure out what to do to increase my iron levels as I cannot take this product. Also as others mentioned it is extremely difficult to open and I had to cut each one open with the scissors very carefully. If you have any problems with your hands or fingers this is not going to work for you.

Rayda24 - 2 years ago
Was recommended this for my pregnancy however upon reading the ingredient list it has TALC in it. And red dye #40 which both are banned in Europe. I don’t need my iron pills to be red.

Slow Fe works relatively quickly. I always develop anemia while pregnant and this helps within the first 5 days of taking it. I take them before bed on an empty stomach. After 5 days my anemia induced insomnia calmed down, dark circles were less noticeable and my energy levels were up. I definitely recommend this brand.

Worked great for helping out anemia I developed while pregnant. I like that it didn’t have a bunch of extra vitamins added like some other iron supplements. And easy on the tummy!

Contains talc
1 out of 5 stars
DVDshpr - 5 years ago
Contains talc and it does not say the talc is USP grade (which would mean it's been tested to be free of asbestos.) Talc can be contaminated with asbestos. It's not just breathing asbestos that's dangerous - it's been proven to cause cancer of the genitals when applied there and according to a mesothelioma website ingesting asbestos is linked to digestive cancers. So I'm not sure why anyone would want talc in their daily vitamin. There are many other iron supplements that don't contain talc and all the chemical dyes of this brand.
