As you may see from previous reviews I am currently on various supplements, one of which I have been advised to take is Iron tablets. As with most of the supplements I am taking I purchased them from my local Tesco due to them being much cheaper. Iron supplements are something I am familiar with as my Mum takes them due to being anaemic, although she is prescribed hers by the doctor, whilst I am not actually anaemic it is something that can occur in pregnancy and the doctors are concerned this could happen as I do not have enough iron in my diet, generally I do however during pregnancy there is more of a risk that the baby will take what it needs leaving me with too ...  Read the complete review

I am borderline anaemic and this can normally be controlled by watching my diet and trying to eat foods rich in iron, and also by taking a multi-vitamin tablet a day which contains iron. Sometimes though when my iron levels drop, I take a specific iron tablet on a daily basis until I feel myself getting back to normal again. Unless I feel really unwell, I don't tend to visit the doctor and just purchase some iron tablets off the shelves as I have been this way long enough now to know how to control it. I don't use these tablets in place of a good diet, I use them alongside it but sometimes I just feel I need a helping hand to boost my iron levels back to ...  Read the complete review

I was diagnosed with anemia around six years ago now and I've since tried various brands and types of iron supplements. I took iron tablets for a while then moved onto liquid iron that needed mixing into drinks but didn't like the taste so now I'm back to taking my iron supplement in tablet form. I used to buy them from Holland and Barrett until I realised that Tesco sell a cheaper iron supplement and I've been taking these every day for the past eight months (ish). A tub of sixty 14mg tablets retails at around £2.30 which is incredibly good value and Tesco also have a long term 3 for 2 offer on all of their supplements you really can't go wrong! ...  Read the complete review

I have never really been one for taking tablets, neither have I been one for taking lots of vitamins, I guess I get all I need from the food and drink that I have. However, during the run up to Christmas I was feeling a little tired and had been struggling to get over a nasty virus so after speaking to my Doctor we found I was a little bit anaemic, I didn't have to be prescribed anything but I did start to get some Iron vitamins to take to try and fight of the tiredness more than anything. I decided to get some from Tesco; I have taken their multivitamins for a number of months now so I opted for their Iron tablets as well, here are my thoughts on ...  Read the complete review

I have anaemia, and so I have to take iron tablets every day. Iron is in haemoglobin molecules, and is what grabs onto the oxygen molecules, and allows their transportation around the body, in the blood. Its therefore a pretty essential mineral. The natural source of iron is in meat, fish, beans and chickpeas, and so its particuarly vegetarians who might find it useful to take as a supplement. When my doctor first told me to start taking iron, I went for boots own brand, which was about 3 times the price of this tub. After a couple of months, while perusing the vitamin aisle at Tesco I saw these, and saw that not only were they really cheap, but they were also ...  Read the complete review
