      Great product
      During a long illness and a major surgery I was very anemic. I needed iron supplements to gain my strength back, but most iron supplements upset my stomach. Hema-plex has not upset my stomach even when I haven't eaten first. My health has improved significantly and I will continue to use Hema-plex to improve my iron levels. I highly recommend this supplement.

      Best iron supplement I've tried
      I started taking this supplement at 43 years old, but I didn't think much of it. I stopped taking it for a few months and when I started taking it again I realized I had more energy, I didn't crave sugary drinks, my skin looked better. But I stopped taking them again. Now at 46 I started taking them again and I noticed a big difference in only ten days. My skin is glowing, I don't crave soda, I don't put things off for "later" I'm a lot more active. I feel really good, my mood is better. My eyes…

      HELPED WITH SEVERE ANEMIA
      I bought these for my father who had very severe anemia due to GI bleeding. It worked better than regular iron pills. Highly recommend. The combination of vitamins will help improve your iron levels faster than just regular iron. He was taking regular iron that I bought at walmart and those did not help. These pills from HEMA-PLEX DID help.

      WORK FOR SEVERE ANEMIA
      If you have anemia PLEASE READ
      This product is effective and fast for low iron.
      It worked within a day. Symptoms started to reduce right away.
      Taking 2 a day for VERY severe anemia. Follow directions on package but in this case needed to take one in the morning one at night.

      Does anyone know why Hema-Plex contains calcium, when it seems like everyone says that calcium inhibits iron absorption? Is that amount of calcium low enough that it doesn't have that effect?
      Jerry GJun 11, 2013

      Best Answer:  Good question. I do know that you are not supposed to take calcium with iron supplements. I have been taking Hema-Plex for about a year now and my Ferritin, RBC and Hematocrit levels have improved tremendously. Although the amount of iron in one pill is high, I have not had any stomach issues. The calcium level may be too low to make any different. This would be a good question for the manufacturer.

      Does this help with hair growth?
      NIKKI MApr 30, 2026

      Best Answer:  If you have an iron deficiency that has caused the hair loss then it can help get your iron back and then your hair loss can start being reversed. I have always had iron issues and these iron pills are the best I have ever taken and I would never go without this.

      Where are the ingredients sourced from? What is the country of origin for the ingredients?
      Doris HFeb 21, 2020

      Best Answer:  Manufactured by natural Organics laboratories makers of NaturesPlus, Amityville NY. Sorry I cannot give you the country of origin. It could be the US since it’s based on Long Island.

      Can I take my Hema-plex gels at the same time that I eat or supplement with calcium? I see that they have some calcium in them, but I've been told that you can't take iron with calcium. Is it better to take them with meals or separately?
      Gayle M.Feb 27, 2014

      Best Answer:  sorry I see that the calcium question has already been asked.
