I know you can't believe everything that you read on the web but I can tell you that this stuff really works. My hemoglobin was 7.3. Within 4 weeks of taking the the Floridix my hemoglobin went up to 9.0. I am a Nurse and I have struggled with anemia for many years. I have taken regular ferrous sulfate in the past but it caused too much GI (Stomach) upset. Floradix has never caused me any of these problems so I am better able to be consistent with taking it.I recommend this to anyone who needs to take iron supplementation. What is good about this product is that it also has B-vitamins and Vitamin C which helps your body to absorb the iron.The best thing is that Floradix is a vegetarian product, which appeals to me. I thank my sister-in-law for introducing me to this.
