Levels now back in normal range

Anaemic but unable to tolerate standard iron tablets or liquid. Active Iron has not had a negative impact on my stomach at all and my levels are now back into the normal range.

I was impressed by your claims

I was impressed by your claims. I've taken Active Iron for several months. My Oncologist requires blood tests every 4 months. My results for hemoglobin levels was 11.1. He recommended an iron infusion because of low energy. It was amazing how much better I felt. Is it advisable to take 2 capsules each morning?

Five-Star Review for Active Iron…

Five-Star Review for Active Iron Pregnancy Plus Vitamin

I have always struggled with low iron levels, so I decided to try Active Iron Pregnancy Plus Vitamin during my pregnancy, and it was one of the best decisions I made. Throughout my pregnancy, my iron levels stayed great, which gave me peace of mind. Unfortunately, I lost quite a bit of blood during childbirth and was almost in need of a transfusion. However, when they checked my iron levels, they were high enough that I didn’t need one. I’m so grateful for this amazing product! Now, I’m looking into having my entire family start taking these vitamins. Highly recommend!

One box contents were out of the foil flaps

I like the product and have auto refill but the box before the last delivery was all smooshed and many of the foil covering the capsules were open or torn.

Terrible VILE side effects

My Doctor informed me, I’ve very low iron & prescribed iron medication, I couldn’t tolerate the side effects, he prescribed more, but they were not suitable.
Over the last 4 months i have tried a iron liquid & a few bottles of iron tablets from a Health Shop.
I’ve not tried any iron products for 6 weeks.
But 5 days ago, I nipped into Holland & Barratt. I had a conversation with the saleswoman regarding IRON products. I pointed out to the ones that I’ve already tried, she picked up a few bottles of Holland & Barratt iron tablets although I have not tried those, then she picked up a box of KIND & STRONG ACTIVE IRON, she mentioned they were good but expensive. However, they were on offer, buy one get one free, she NEVER pressurised me into buying. It was my decision, i was hesitant due to the cost, because if they suited me, could i afford this product on a monthly basis, especially if the offer wasn’t available. Anyhow I bought the product. The next day I opened one of the boxes, I was deeply disappointed as the capsules & tablets were HUGE. But I had VERY HIGH EXPECTATIONS that this product would be good. With a glass of water although it was a struggle & eventually swallowed the big capsule followed by the big tablet. Within 5 minutes I was experiencing appalling side effects, the WORST I’ve had, it blew my head sky high & i became very dizzy, then severe violent tingling all over my face, behind my eyes, travelling down my neck to my back & arms, hands, fingers, hurtburn, chest hurting,
My tinnitus changed pitch & began screeching, followed by ear ache. Within the hour my whole body was FULL of pins and needles & itching & stomach pains, flushing….TOO MANY SIDE EFFECTS TO LIST.
How I regretted buying This ACTIVE IRON They are the worst side effects I’ve experienced from buying over the counter. I looked for a telephone number to speak to someone. Obviously some ingredients in the capsule or tablet doesn’t suit. Despite only taking one capsule and tablet, it’s 5 days later I’ve still struggling with ALL these side effects.
I’m just HOPING the pins & needles & hives etc will eventually settle.
I’m contacting the regulators so they are aware. I totally understand this product will suit many people, my concerns if people are experiencing what I’m going through after all I ONLY took one capsule & one tablet.

We are sorry to hear about your bad experience, we have not received a complaint of this nature before. With Active Iron Women, absorption happens 1-2hr after taking the supplement. Since you have experienced a systemic reaction 5 minutes after taking Active Iron Women, it is most likely an allergic reaction to one of the constituent. The full list of ingredients is on the side of the pack.

Worked really fast

Worked really fast. I was so anemic, my Dr was going to admit me to the hospital for blood transfusions. This was my life saver. Have told so many others about this wonderful product. I can tell if I miss a day. Dealing with long haulers too and this really helps with that.

Another good note which was so important is that it will absolutely NOT constipate you. I have Gastroparesis and have to be very careful of everything I take. This works.
