Blackstrap Molasses with Iron 29mg (Two Bottles Each of 120 Capsules)

I bought this product due to thyroid issues that sent my iron levels plummeting. I tried just a regular iron supplement from my local Walmart, but it caused most of the issues the warning label listed, plus sent my iron levels plummeting further!Several people I know recommended blackstrap molasses as a source of iron, and I looked into it. But it looked rather messy and not very portable.That's when I found these capsules and decided to give them a shot. I've been taking them just 4 days now, and I cannot believe the difference. My thyroid meds are suddenly working like they're supposed to again, and my hair has stopped its alarming shedding process in just the 4 days I've taken this!I take one of these a day, right after the evening meal. My only warning is that it seems to act like an energy boost for me. The first night I took it at 8 pm, and it kept me awake until 2 am. Fortunately, after a couple days, it didn't effect me that badly again. Haha.If needed, I'll definitely purchase this product again in the future. We'll see where I'm at in 3 months time.**4/11/17 UPDATE**This stuff is absolutely amazing! My bottle is nearly empty and I came to the conclusion that I absolutely had to order more. I'm currently sitting here, debating on getting 1 bottle or 2.I recommended this to a family member with chronic anemia and she couldnt believe how great she felt. And she claims her hair is growing amazingly fast for the first time in her life. She doesn't know how she ever lived without it.

For whatever reason, this is the only type of iron I’ve tried that my body will absorb. I’ve been anemic for as long as I can remember and anything the doctors have recommended wouldn’t improve my numbers. Even worse, I’d be nauseous for hours after taking. I researched and thought I’d give these a try. After two months, I was in the low range of normal and that’s where I’ve stayed. I haven’t had any nausea at all with these capsules and I’m maintaining normal numbers as long as I take them daily. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve recommended these things. The nausea was a big factor for me and the fact I don’t get it with this form of iron is huge.

I went for a doctor visit and he said I needed more iron in my system. I asked him what was a good supplement and he said "have you ever heard of black strap molasses and I told him I heard of it when I was very young and asked him if grocery store grade was ok to take,but he suggested I use the capsules and said black strap was totally different than store brands and was more easily absorbed. I've been using these now for quite awhile and am very pleased with them.

As I usually do with any new supplement I try I had taken this product for a few months, stopped, then resumed. Overall I feel I have more energy when I am taking it. It may be only a placebo effect (I really don't think this is the case) but at age 72 I'll take any help available. We are all very complex chemical factories so what works for one may have no effect on others. I suggest a trial period (e.g. 3-4 months), stop for a while (e.g.2-3 months) and then start again to determine the effectivity of a supplement. If you don't feel a difference, don't waste your money.

I became slightly iron deficient after donating blood twice a year for a few years (apparently very common in women under those circumstances). I tried several different iron supplements, and this is the ONLY one that didn't make me sick to my stomach. My blood test numbers are much better now (and I feel better as well). Thank goodness for blackstrap molasses and ferrous fumarate. Here's hoping that Swanson continues producing this for a long time to come, because I will keep purchasing it and taking it and donating blood (now just once a year) for as long as I can.

I damaged both my knees playing Australian Football. I was informed by my Orthopedic Surgeon that I had arthritis in both knees. I was told I needed a steroid shot in each knee once a month to reduce the pain....I don't think so!! Someone had recommended I try blackstrap molasses. Long story short, I've been taking the Swanson pills for the past two weeks and the pain in both knees has eased by at least half. I'm a big fella, it takes a lot to ease my pain. I highly recommend this product if you're in pain because arthritis.

This product worked wonders for me. I have problems with anemia and I usually have to have an iron transfusion at least once a year. I started taking the black strap molasses pills with iron about 5 months ago. I went in to have my blood work and was pleasantly surprised when I got the blood work test results back. Needless to say I did not have to have an iron transfusion this year. I've also noticed that I have more energy and I'm not as fatigued as I was before. So far so good. I am very satisfied with this product.

This is a great substitute for the liquid black strap molasses if you have a problem with the taste. I think the liquid is more potent but that doesn't help it you can't swallow it. I recommend this if you have a real problem with the molasses taste.
