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 don't feel dry anymore. And as a bonus I noticed my hair is getting dark again, I had a crazy amount of gray hair. I recommend this supplement to everyone that will listen lol

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.

9 Questions
Why did you choose this?

Doctor recommended.

Great for people who are anemic.

Starting using it, right away

Wife asked for it

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?

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.

is this safe for children ages 11?

Best Answer:  13 and over

IS THIS PRODUCT SAFE TO TAKE WHILE PREGNANT?

Best Answer:  Ask your doctor.

I normally take a slow release iron tab. Is that the same as "sustained release"?

Best Answer:  no sure..my wife takes it as an iron supplement because it is a vegetarian option..

Can you take this product during pregnancy?

Best Answer:  I started using this product during pregnancy, as recommended by my midwife.

Where are the ingredients sourced from? What is the country of origin for the ingredients?

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?

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