Summary: Worth the $$$
Comment: I get anemic easily with heavy periods. This product is a godsend. I can't take regular iron as it makes me nauseated and other typical adverse affects if you know what I mean. So I tried this and 1-2 days into treatment I feel energy again and I can tell I'm on the mend and I have absolutely no side affects taking this.

Summary: Did not work for me!
Comment: This product did not work for me. I have tried various iron supplements and hoped this one would be different. It caused just as much upset as any of the others. I have had to cope with a persistant anemia using only iron rich foods. This product was expensive compared to ferrous sulfate tablets and was not worth it.

Comment: I found out I had mild form of anemia and had to take iron supplement. Many other iron pills would make me constipated but SlowFe works great! Olga S.

Summary: Fabulous product, HORRID packaging
Comment: This is the only iron product that many people--including me--can tolerate. It is substantially more expensive than many other iron preparations, but I don't mind paying extra to avoid the awful side effects associated with those. (AMAZON'S PRICE, however, was better than my local Wal-Mart or CVS.)

I DO MIND VERY MUCH that the manufacturer ignores customer reviews that talk about the terribly inconvenient packaging. Why should loyal customers who are willing to pay more for the product be subjected to trying to wrest these tablets from the packaging? Perhaps people with small children or mentally incompetent people in their households prefer such packaging, but why can't a plastic bottle be made available to the rest of us?

Thanks, Amazon, for friendly pricing. Boo-Hiss, Novartis, for your ongoing disregard of your customers' preferences.

Summary: Be careful if you're diabetic
Comment: These are decent iron tablets but be careful if you're diabetic. My wife took these and for a while she was getting unexplained peaks in her blood sugar overnight. When she stopped taking the supplement, the peaks also stopped. Turns out that lactose is one of the top ingredients.
