BEST IRON SUPPLEMENT
These Hema-Plex are the only iron supplement I've been able to take without experiencing constipation and embarrassing gas. Low on iron=little energy and constant fatigue, so try this--you'll like it!

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…

Really Does Work! Labs to Prove It
So I've always struggled with my hemoglobin being on the "low" side of average - especially when pregnant. I'm thankful i found this supplement. In my 2nd pregnancy i didn't take this iron supplement and it showed, i went into my birth at 11.4 hemoglobin and hemorrhaged resulting in a drop to a 5.4 hemoglobin level.Fast forward to my 3rd pregnancy. It was just under a month before my delivery and my hemoglobin was sitting at an 11.2, i knew i wanted to elevate that level before birth, so i…

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 G

  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.

JENNIFER

  Most probably, the formula is energetically balanced for highest absorbancy....being a FOOD BASED IRON SUPPLEMENT...general rules made by a great deal of scientists do not always gel with natural food based absorbancy and stomach acid breakdown.

Toni

  I do not know the exact answer. I was told to take this because of low SED rate--low iron. In addition to this I am also taking extra calcium.Soooo???

JC C

  One more thing. The Vitamin C component is the important partner to the iron component. You should take Vitamin C with Iron.

IS THIS PRODUCT SAFE TO TAKE WHILE PREGNANT?
alma s.

  Ask your doctor.

ellen l

  I have taken this for 3yrs and had get results from it but I would check with your doctor before because it does have iron in it . I am almost 60 so every now and then I will use it but when my waste gets dark then I know I have enough iron. It is easy on the stomach but you may not need the iron. I also use the B-Complex 100 from VS when I don't need the extra iron. Good Luck and may God guide your health.

  @Alma S: I read the label, and do not see a Pregnant note, but with any vitamin, supplement, and/or new product always consult your Physician and/or Medical Provider while pregnant.*Peace, Health, & Art *

  Yes, I took it while I was pregnant 25 years ago. My daughter was fine. I got it as alternative to an expensive one my chiropractor recomended

  Although Hema-Plex is simply an Iron supplement, I would suggest the pregnant lady pose the question to her doctor.

Does this help with hair growth?
NIKKI M

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.

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.
