Q: how long does it take to start feeling the effect of this product. Ed F
A: I noticed a difference in one week.
submitted byMegan - 4 years agoA: It took about one week for me to feel more energy
submitted byGma - 2 years agoA: For myself, it took quite awhile to feel/notice any physical difference. I would say 2 months or so, give or take a week. However everyone is different. I myself have always been anemic and never treated it until my first pregnancey. If you have a very low red blood cell count it will take a while to build up your iron stores. I hope this helps even though it's not an exact time line seeing as everyone is different.

Q: I am female and google says we are supposed to take 18mg of iron a day. So is 65mg a day healthy?
