After three years of trying prescription and over the counter supplements, my iron levels kept getting worse. On 2/2/2023 my doctor told me that I needed transfusions. I was hesitant about it and found this product. I decided to try it for three months before giving up and getting the transfusions. I am SO GLAD I did. No upset stomach. No bowel difficulties. More energy. Even my doctor was impressed with the results. Check out my test results in the photos! I’m going to up my intake from one capsule a day to two and retest in three months. THANK YOU!!!
Lifelong anemic here, mostly untreated. A few Dr.'s along the way suggested iron supplements w/Vit C, but I had the typical constipation side effect, and my numbers didn't move at all, so they would eventually drop it. I'm an extra weird case; I don't have many noticeable side effects, and I just assumed this was one of those things you check a box off at the Dr's office and just move on. In my mid 40's now, I realized that the potential strain on my heart was not good, so My Dr prescribed the iron and Vit C routine, it did nothing, and then he wanted me to try iron infusions.
I have a few other issues that would be negatively impacted by the iron infusions, so I decided to do some Googling, and I came across this site. Came back to it a few times, unwilling to believe some random, unproven stuff I'd read on the internet. Doctors and science are the experts, who am I to go against that education and experience? Still, I kept coming back, and finally decided to give this a shot. I ordered a 6 mo supply, and the next day at my Dr. appt, I told him my plan. He agreed, and set up testing just under the 3 mo mark. If this didn't work, then he would refer me to a hematologist. That seemed fair.
Well, guess what? I just got my test results back, and it really does work! Ferritin went from 5 to 22, Iron from 22 to 156! I'm in the normal range for the first time in my life!
Thank you for creating this supplement, and for not being quack science. Means a lot.
I found out about 3 Arrows through the Iron Protocol FB group. I was skeptical at first. I spent a year trying non-heme supplements (including floradix, ugh) with slow progress, GI side effects, and had a terrible time taking consistently since you're supposed to avoid near food and other supplements. UGH. In the first year of non-heme, other supplements, my ferritin went from 8 to 66 back to 23. It was so frustrating. I had an iron infusion that got me from 23 to 123, but after a couple months of the non-heme supplement, it fell back to the 70s and I was still symptomatic. I was so frustrated, so scared, and so anxious and on the verge of doing another expensive and time consuming infusion series.
That's when I decided to really give Simple Heme a try. O M G. What a game changer. I went from ferritin in the 70s to 150 in about 6 weeks of taking 2 everyday. I feel SO MUCH BETTER. WOW. What I LOVE the most about the Simply Heme is that it is SO easy to take. It's a lot easier to fit into my day. Instead of trying to work around meals or other supplements, I just take 2 in the morning with all my other vitamins. And that ease was the difference between taking my iron consistently and constantly forgetting to take the non-hemes. Plus, I don't have the horrible GI problems and constipation I was having with my non-heme supplements.
I am thrilled with the results.
I was taking non-heme with hardly any success. I started taking Simply Heme and my hemoglobin went from a low 9 to 11 over a course of 4 months. I haven’t had any iron infusions since March of 2022 and I used to get them every two months. Simply Heme has been awesome!! No side affects and I am feeling like I am on the right track.
i dont do reviews and i dont care to read them but this has been a lifesaving product literally, and not just the product but the things the owner has said. I am still recovering from what I call an "iron deficency attack" where i had such bad heart palpitations i couldnt get out of bed for a week. Not one single doctor treated me with respect or even took me seriously. Doctors dont even look at ou anymore, theres a computer in every room and they immediatly start looking at that instead. (I went to 3 whole doctors). If i listened to what they had said i would still be unable to get out of bed right now and would eventually be dead. If i didint know what the optimal ferritn level was no one would have told me. No one told me i was low iron when i needed the information, and when the situation got desperate still noone told me. I had to be my own doctor. This product and company allowed me to stay alive.
This supplement is life changing. Said goodbye to years of fatigue, anxiety, palpitations, and restless leg. Wish I discovered this supplement sooner.
Along my iron journey I tried ferrous sulfate and herbal iron….well sadly neither worked but thankfully I knew someone going through anemia as well and they suggested Three Arrows Simply Heme and I’m just so thankful. I finally can just feel "normal" again, although I have only been taking it for a month I feel such a difference. I would definitely suggest anyone struggling with anemia give it a try & they won’t regret it!
All of the iron supplements I’ve tried in the past have been too hard on my stomach. This is the first that has given me no issues, with or without food! I haven’t been taken it long but I’ve felt an increase in energy and my mood has been better overall. I’m so grateful to have found such a quality iron supplement!
The heme iron plus is 10 times more bioavailable than other forms of iron, it helped my daughters anemia, buy in packs is much cheaper, this is a genuine and very good small business, peace and love.
I follow an iron protocol to get my Ferritin levels to go up. I have been taking Ferrous Fumarate for a while but this really irritates my tummy and it's also a struggle to find the right time of day to take these tablets (due to having to take them on an empty stomach and other supplements I have to take during the day).
These Three Arrows Iron repair supplements are ideal as you can take them whenever you want and they don't give me any nasty side effects. I have recently checked my Ferritin levels and they have gone up significantly. Very pleased with this product!
I love Iron Repair Plus and Simply, use both. I take one of each pill, twice a day. I've noticed my nails are getting stronger and my hair is shedding less and growing again. Very happy with this product. Causes no stomach discomfort.
Finally a supplement that doesn’t cause stress trying to work out when and how to take it at a time where you are already so exhausted and your brain isn’t working properly! Huge weight lifted taking my health into my own hands - and taking the control!
My ferritin numbers are actively increasing for the first time ever on iron repair. Plus I haven’t had any stomach upset from taking it and can still enjoy my morning coffee!
This is a great product. I have tried several different iron supplements, and this is the only one that helped raise my iron levels. Plus it didn’t come with all the annoying side affects.
Been following the Iron Protocol and taking 3 capsules every evening (away from my morning supplements to avoid conflicts with absorption). I've been doing this for around 3-4 weeks now and although it's somewhat early on to tell any huge differences, I feel like I've noticed having more energy and my hair feels just a bit thicker, like there's a bit more growth than usual. Also worth noting, I've had no negative side effects or stomach issues taking this supplement, though VERY early on, in the first week or two, I noticed a VERY slight dull pain in my forearms - no clue if it's related to taking this supplement, but this was the only new thing I was taking at the time. I tested my ferritin prior to taking this supplement and it was 21 - so I'm hopeful that this will improve my levels before the next lab test.
I've been a vegetarian for a decade now, and while I'm not thrilled about this being an animal product, it seems like a good compromise for vegetarians and vegans to make in order to avoid some of the health problems that can come along with having lower iron levels due to these dietary choices. I've taken regular, non-heme iron supplements off and on in the past, and my labs usually come back with iron and ferritin levels that are barely within range, so it will be interesting to see if this type of iron makes the difference that I'm looking for. Despite feeling that my overall health has improved from following a mostly vegetarian/plant-based diet, I've definitely noticed having lower energy levels and significant hair thinning since making that dietary change. So, fingers crossed hoping that this supplement brings me back to my pre-vegetarian energy levels and minimizes some of the hair thinning I've had since then. I was a bit hesitant in purchasing this, being an animal product, but I personally find this to be an acceptable compromise if it helps me get back some of my hair and energy!
Not only does this Iron bring my levels up but it’s also is very easy on the stomach and doesn’t constipate!! So glad I found something that finally helps!
I was seriously anemic after my cancer surgery. So, so tired. I tried various iron supplements only to end up with digestive issues or a tummy that hurt. Not so with this product! In addition, while I am still low, my numbers quickly went up. The only low number I still have is ferritin and it went up 8 points. I'm close to normal!
I followed your protocol and raised my ferritin over 50 points in two months. I didn’t have any stomach issues. A wonderful product!
Love this product, I don't have to worry about timing, food or vitamin c and it's easy on my stomach. Would absolutely recommend. Ordered in the UK and it arrived really quickly too.
I've been taking this product for a little less than a month. I have not had any GI issues or other reactions with it. I tend to react to fillers with body aches and rashes, but this product has been great. I've had GI issues with the nonheme types and they didn't even help increase my ferritin very well. I also just discovered heme vs nonheme. I've struggled with low ferritin for years now. I have not checked my labs yet, but once I do, I will follow-up with an update.
I am so glad I heard about this company and their amazing iron supplements. I am starting to feel better and I know I can attribute it to iron repair.
I have tried several different non-heme iron supplements, all of which have caused me gastrointestinal upset. This one does not! I just started recently, so I’m ready to see how much my iron levels have gone up. Definitely recommend!
I just started taking the Iron Repair Plus a few weeks ago and I can already feel a difference! I am starting to get a little more energy and my gums are starting to pink up instead of being pale. I haven't had any stomach issues taking this and I can still drink my morning coffee! Great product!
My 6 year old has iron deficiency anemia due to gastrointestinal issues. We reached a point where he was going to require iron infusions if his hemoglobin continued to drop. Every iron supplement we have tried to give him in the past has caused horrible stomach pains and constipation. After learning about this type of iron, we decided to give it a try, since it is more easily absorbed. Since we started giving him Iron Repair, his labs have slowly improved and his Hematologist is comfortable with waiting and monitoring him (instead of pressuring us to get him iron infusions). This has bought us time while we work with his Gastroenterologist on his G.I. issues. The company has been very responsive, answering all my questions and helping me figure out what dosage to give him based on his weight. The capsules easily open, so I can sprinkle the contents on his food (there also isn't a nasty taste, so he doesn't even know he's consuming the supplement). I am so thankful this iron supplement exists! I highly recommend!
