I am anemic and find ferrous gluconate is not constipating like other iron pills. I take 3 a day and find it easy to swallow.

This medication causes severe constipation and I do not feel it is very effective at all for me.

This is the best iron medicine I have taken since I have been prescribed this medicine. Ferrous gluconate works far better for me than the ferrous sulfate in liquid form or tablet.

Was experiencing fatigue, chornic foggy pain in legs while training for marathon. Had a blood test and turns out that my ferritin level was extremely low. Was skeptical but noticed immediate improvement after starting to take supplements.
