After being diagnosed borderline-anemic, I tried taking the iron supplement the doctor recommended. My body totally rejected it. It was awful. A co-worker told me about this product, which she took when she was pregnant. I tried it. It worked. Two tablets a day until my levels were back to normal, now I take one a day. My doctor knew the test results, and was willing to write me a letter, so I can now get reimbursed for this through my pre-tax medical spending account.

This product enabled my husband to stop taking prescription allergy meds and OTC antihistamines. It takes a while to build up in your system, and you have to keep taking a maintenance dose, so you can't just take it when symptoms present and get immediate relief.

I took this supplement through the winter, one a day if I wasn't under stress, around sick people, or feeling like something was coming on; three a day if one of the above conditions existed. I did not get sick once, even though viruses coursed through our office on a routine basis. This product, along with the Zand immune tincture (with echinacea and goldenseal, which I take if I have symptoms), is an essential item in my "medicine" cabinet.
