MAJOR Ferrex-150 Polysaccharide-Iron Complex Capsules, 100 Count (1 Pack)

my ferritin was a 6 back in January (i'm iron deficient but not anemic). i've struggled with low iron since I was a teenager and in general, iron is a very complex mineral to absorb, especially in women. I've tried so many other OTC brands, non-heme and heme, lactoferrin, and prescription ferrous sulfate but my ferritin wouldn't move and actually dropped to 5 mid-March. my doctor realized my ferritin may be low because I wasn't getting enough elemental iron. my doctor suggested I try this brand. this was my last option before potentially moving to intravenous infusions (which comes with lots of side effects but does help many people when well tolerated). I just got my blood test back and my ferritin rose to 67! I started taking this brand back in mid-March after my last blood test. it also doesn't upset my stomach like the other brands I've tried. I take this around 4am every morning with vitamin C for better absorption! wait 2+ hours before consuming calcium/dairy, tea, high phytates, fiber & protein, proton pump inhibitors, or magnesium because iron WILL NOT absorb. you can also try every other day but that didn't work for me with other brands (I didn't try it with this brand though). the increase in energy was like night and day and my hair is growing back pretty fast now (even body hair lmao). i'm no longer extremely cold, fatigued, or experiencing that 'pins and needles' sensation under my feet anymore as well. once I get my ferritin between 70-90, I'll switched to OTC brands for maintenance! I hate how complex iron can be but thankfully this helped.

This is do much better than plain iron. I was anemic. This worked.

I’ve been taking this supplement daily for almost a week now and I honestly feel like a different person. My energy levels have drastically improved and I don’t have my usual afternoon slump. I have to take Viramin C with it to ensure it’s properly absorbed. Thankful I haven’t had any stomach upset whatsoever.

Great source of iron. Arrived on time.

Pro tip: Use a razor blade or knife and cut along the edge of each capsule compartment to make popping out easier. Otherwise, you're going to have a bad time. Between Major and Breckenridge, they are selling the exact same Ferrex-150, and both are annoying to pop the capsules out of the packs.This is a good supplement. It used to be cheaper, but it's still cheaper than ProFerrin ES, which did nothing what this simple iron can do... and has done for me. I'm dinging a star because we all know the cost of this has nothing to do with the cost of the manufacturing; it's just straight up greed... everywhere.

A very high “elemental” iron at 150 mg.Most non heme iron supplements are usually around 65 mg. of elemental.This is a really good non heme but only take every other day so your body can absorb it.

Inconvenient peel packs

No where in description does it say blister pack. They’re a pain to open.
