Life saving iron supplement
 

I have been iron deficient for several years and highly fatigued (hair falls out too and heart beat is rapid). I tried supplements but they made me constipated. I tried iron in water from a European spring which chewed up my stomach with nausea. I tried Floradix which didn't constipate me but it was slow going in terms of raising iron stores -- it also stained my teeth.

Then a friend of mine got a prescription from her doctor called Integra Plus. I asked my doctor for it. It's amazing!!!! Within 3 weeks I am feeling like a million dollars. My brain seems to be working better (clearer and sharper) and my energy is much greater. I feel less depressed.

But the best part is that it causes no constipation or stomach aches or nausea. Yeah! :). I'm chronically constipated so this is a miracle. You take it in the afternoon between meals. It also contains B vitamins and folic acid and Vitamin C. It only costs $10 on my prescription plan. It's not over the counter.

For any of you who are iron deficient, you have to try this drug! I can't wait to see how I feel 2 months out and even longer. It could change your life if you haven't been able to tolerate iron supplements.

Good luck! :)

I'm bringing this up to the top of the list again. I'm here to promote this supplement Integra Plus (it is prescribed -- my insurance makes it a $10 co-pay) for iron deficiency.

I just got my ferritin results back after 3 months of taking it. I'm at 81! :trampoline:

That's the highest I've ever been. No more anemia! My brain is much clearer/sharper, I'm no longer winded going up stairs, and I'm not falling asleep all the time.

This drug is AMAZING.

That is so wonderful for you.:). You make me want to take it, but I have,
in the back of my mind, that too much iron is really bad for you. I took
extra iron in my M cycle days, because I had such a heavy flow each
month.

Don't they actually say that your iron needs are lower, as you age?

I don't know about needing less iron as you age, Sally. ??

I know women in their 60s can still be iron deficient.

All I know is I felt so crappy with low iron and now I feel great!

Thanks for Integra Plus tip. I'll be requesting a script asap cause my RBC is always near low end of range which is the worst thing a person who wants to build muscle can face!

Nat- besides energy, how are your muscles & tendons doing since starting Integra? Many don't know how important a good RBC is. Body builders do.

EddieF, I'm not sure about my muscles and tendons. I will be joining the gym soon and hope I have more stamina. I will start lifting weights again. This drug/supplement is from heaven. I can already tell the heat this summer isn't bothering me as much as last summer. Perhaps some of my fatigue was iron deficiency!
