Niferex Reviews
For Iron Deficiency Anemia "I had gastric bypass surgery years ago and use it for anemia related to it. It is great at absorption and very little gastric distress if any at all...WORTH the extra money and cheaper by far than IV Iron transfusion."
For Iron Deficiency Anemia "I’ve been unable to tolerate any of the previous formulations of iron so I was switched to Niferex with promises that it was much better tolerated by patients. This has actually been the worst one for me. Whereas the other formulations gave me constipation and nausea, Niferex gives me diarrhea, nausea, and such painful stomach cramping that I have to mentally psych myself up to take the next dose and then regret it hours later when the cramps set in every time. Tried it with food and no change. Yikes."
For Iron Deficiency Anemia "It works great but it is so expensive."
For Iron Deficiency Anemia "This is the only iron I will use. Much better in terms of gastric distress. Worth the extra money."
