"I regret trying this so much. $26 and not refundable."
"Wish it came in bigger bottles."
"I started taking this because I have low iron... It gave me energy, but the bottle is too small for the price."
"I took this product every single day for 3 months and redid my bloodwork. My iron started out at level 40 and after 3 months of use my iron levels dropped to 30."
"I just got it yesterday and have not tried it yet, but the reviews are good. BIG PROBLEM. I cannot read the directions or cautions."
