I've used other vitamins from HealthAid and like them very much, they are a large sized capsule however being a gelatine capsule they go down fairly easily and there's no unpleasant sensation or taste even if they were to get stuck, they aren't cheap horrible tablets but actually seem to have real benefit over cheaper brands. I have menorrhagia (excessively heavy periods) which can both be caused by and lead to anaemia, it's not always possible to get what I need nutrient-wise from diet so iron tablets ensure I get what I need to lessen symptoms or prevent my facing any major problems. Most iron tablets are just that; tablets, it's rare for me to find any that are gelatine capsules like these, so that's a plus. I find many iron tablets (and vitamin tablets in general) taste unpleasant and make me feel ill afterwards, these however do not cause these problems which basically means I'm much more likely to be a big girl and take my medicine. Zinc and Copper help the absorption of iron into the body, which for some reason many iron tablets don't contain, plus you get a few additional nutrients such as vitamin B12 which is another benefit over other brands I've used. The cost is a bit much for me, it's a case of weighing up cheaper tablets but with lower nutritional value, or buying these...I would buy these again, but perhaps not subscribe to getting these on a regular basis simply based on price.

These are a good way to make sure you're getting enough iron in your diet - which is essential for healthy blood cells and strong immune system. The tablets are quite large, but still easy to swallow, and have the added benefit of having the added essential vitamins and minerals of B12, Zinc and Copper in them too. The packet says they're free from artificial colours, flavours, preservatives, yeast, gluten, wheat and dairy, so should be OK for most of the common allergy sufferers and all you do is take one a day with you meal. Simple. Each capsule contains: 75 mg of Vitamin C - 94% of you RDA 5mg of Vitamin B6 - 357% of your RDA 500(unsure what this sign is) of Folic Acid - 250% of your RDA 100 (unsure what this sign is) of Vitamin B12 - 4000% of your RDA 47mg of iron - 336% of your RDA 4mg of Zinc - 40% of your RDA 2.5mg of copper - 250% of your RDA 2.5mg of manganese - 125% of your RDA This makes me wonder why they're iron tablets specifically and not, say, Vitamin B6 tablets with added iron? Seems a bit odd to me - so only 3 stars as it makes them seem a bit suspect. I'd prefer and iron suppliment where iron was the main supplement you were recieving when you took it! Read more

I have taken these for years and they really boost my energy and health. Best formulation I have found and readonably priced. Have recommended them to friends who also love them. Read more

This supplement comes in capsules held in two blister packs. The capsules are dark red and a little longer and fatter than standard pharmaceutical capsules. The capsules contain gelatine so these won't be suitable for vegetarians. The allergy warning says that this product contains Soy & Sulphites (though sulphites aren't listed in the ingredients). However, they are free from yeast, gluten, wheat and dairy, especially good news for me since I have a dairy intolerance. They are also free from artificial colours, preservatives or flavourings. I found them easy to swallow with no discomfort afterwards. Iron supplements in the past have been known to cause me to experience nausea - a common side effect when the iron comes in the form of ferrous sulphate. The iron in this product is in the form ferrous fumarate and so much easier to digest without uncomfortable side-effects. This product is not just an iron supplement, it has a few other minerals and vitamins (C and a couple of B's), included as well. So, as long as you are eating a reasonably balanced diet, you may find that this is the only supplement that you need. 4 stars rather than five because of the unsuitability for vegetarians - a group of people who, perhaps, have a greater need of iron supplements than the average carnivore feasting regularly on red meat.

I've been taking these for over a month now, and I don't feel any different. However, this doesn't mean they're not working/doing what is claimed. By there very nature, vitamins and supplements are designed to be 'passive' and display no outward symptoms. So outside of a lab environment I fail to see how a person is supposed to report on these pills' affects. What I can say however is that I have suffered no ill effects from taking these.. no stomach cramps, no nausea, no headaches. So that's good. What I will say is that there are some impressive claims on the box with regards to the amounts of each vitamin contained within each tablet. Many ingredients are listed at well over the rda guidlines. (recommended daily intake). But in all honesty, does anyone really need the equivalent of 336% rda of Iron? Or 250% Folic acid? Or even 125% Manganese? I've no idea. Personally I will be sticking to Saibsburys own brand vitamins. This product seems like a needless expense for the average consumer with average diet requirements. Read more

I'd always had iron deficiency and had to always be on supplements. Haemovit plus is the only iron that didn't caused any side effects and worked perfectly. I take it for the past 3 months. Read more
