It is an important component of hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen from the lungs to all tissues of the body and promotes iron rich blood.† It plays a role in normal red blood cell production and supports energy utilization.† Iron requirements increase during growth, pregnancy and menstruation. Iron nutritionally supports women’s health and is a cofactor required for the synthesis of brain neurotransmitters, including dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin.†

†Some iron supplements cause gastrointestinal irritation and constipating effects. This unique form of chelated iron (iron bisglycinate) is formulated for enhanced absorption and is gentle on your system.

Great choice for iron supplement- gentle
This iron is so easily tolerated. I have been an RN for over 30 years and could not believe it. I have been taking it for about 3 months, and my levels are back to normal.

Does Not Work!
I started taking these iron pills in April 2022 to maintain healthy hemoglobin levels. I started having the classic anemia symptoms 6 months later, even though I took it daily with vitamin C. I started taking it twice daily but still had no improvement. My symptoms became severe, so I started taking it three times a day with no improvement. I switched to Kirkman iron pills three days ago and am starting to feel a little better.

Gentle Iron
I bought the bottle after reading all the write-ups. I took it for about two weeks or more, and yes, I could "feel" the difference, but the top of my tongue became all brown instead of the normal pink. I am off the pills for over a week and tongue brown is lessening. It is just a weird happening.

Non constipating formula

Used it, love it.

Rhonda L

Thanks

Niharh G

I like these products and they are non consipating

Michelle F
I have recently increased my gentle iron to 2 tablets a day (total of 50 mg) my stools have turned black should I worry ??I am anemic.
A shopper
My doc wants me on 325 mg of slow release Iron or the equivalent. How much of this is needed to match the amount above?
Amber M.

Best Answer:  Your doctor is likely recommending the ferrous sulfate amount (most common), which equates to 65mg of elemental iron.This gentle iron contains 25mg of elemental iron so you'd need 2-3 capsules to match the amount of iron in 325mg ferrous sulfate. However, please confirm the exact dosage with your doctor.(Answering because my aunt's doctor had the same "325mg" recommendation, and it took me a while to figure out this info!)

Erica
How much elemental iron is contained in Solgar Gentle Iron 25 mg.?
A shopper
Will this product straighten our irregular periods ?
A shopper

  I'm not sure if it will straighten out irregular periods. That's something you should ask your doctor about. However, iron is very important for women and it's difficult to obtain enough from the foods we eat. This particular iron supplement is excellent and I highly recommend it.

Did/does this iron supplement help you with increasing the iron reserves (ferritin) levels, as well? Looking for one that can achieve that as well, since it is very difficult to do so.
JULIJA D
I am anemic. My doctor recommended I take Iron twice a day. This product says once a day. How many should I take?
Aimee N.

  Ask your doctor how many MILLIGRAMS of iron you should take in a day. The US government recommends 18 milligrams per day for the average person. But since you are anemic, your doctor may want you to take more than 18 milligrams. Each Gentle Iron capsule contains 25 milligrams of iron. By government standards that is more than enough for the average person. Ask your doctor how many MILLIGRAMS of iron he wants you to take in a day. Good luck.

Mario D

  You should probably take it twice a day, but your doctor should have told you the dosage you need, rather than the number of pills. I would double check with the doc. Also, I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter how much you spread out the pills throughout the day, so take 2 at once if that works better for you. Vitamin C helps iron absorption, calcium inhibits it, if that helps you plan when to take it.

Jennifer

  Have a talk with your doctor about the dosage to make sure you are both talking about the same supplement. Don't forget to tell your doctor if you are taking any other supplements, especially multi-vitamins with iron. You might also discuss adding iron-rich foods to your diet. Yes, I had my doctor's approval for talking an iron supplement along with a multi-vitamin with iron.

Judith

  Hello Aimee,You need to ask your doctor HOW MUCH iron he wants you to take. If it is more than the 25 mg. contained in one Gentle Iron capsule then you should take it twice a day and/or adjust the number of capsules you take appropriately.Good luck!

Roberta C

  My doctor recommended this also. I take one in morning and one at bedtime, I had very low levels which caused hair loss but this has helped a lot!

michelle b

  I take it twice a day. It is important than when you take, don't drink milk or orange because it won't allow the iron to be absorb.
