Geritol Liquid Energy Support, Iron and Vitamin Supplement, 12 Oz, 2 Pack

I really love Geritol! I remember my grandparents using it back in the day—it was always thought of as the "old folks' vitamin." Well, I’m one of those old folks now! The effectiveness of this liquid vitamin is incredible. It gives me a serious energy boost, and I haven't been feeling sluggish or tired at all. I haven't had any negative side effects—only positive ones because I feel so good. The taste isn't great, but the benefits make it totally worth it. Mixing it with juice helps cover the flavor easily. Since it's a liquid, It dissolves well. And you can mix it with any Juice, cranberry juice or orange juice or whatever you want you don't have to worry about swallowing pills or waiting for anything to dissolve. It’s well worth the price, and I highly recommend it!

I originally purchased this item a couple of months ago to help with hair growth and retention. Thinking I'm slightly deficient in iron (like many women of color) and it's time to start supplementing. After I recieved it I took it here and there, struggling to find a rythym. About a month ago, I started taking a small amount of tumeric and olive oil mixture (with a sprinkle of black pepper) to help combat mysterious inflammation that was suddenly showing up on my face. The mixture worked like magic to get rid of the inflammatory marks on my face, it took two days. Like most people would do, I kept taking it. After the first week I noticed I was waking up exhausted and felt less alert throughout the day (the exact opposite of the initial effects of the mixture). By day 12, the symptoms were twice as bad and I also found myself getting a little confused, dizzy, and lightheaded. The only thing I'd changed was adding the tumeric and olive oil (just about a tablespoons worth) before bed. I did some research and found that curcumin (the active form of Tumeric) binds to iron! And olive oil also has a slight chelating effect. And all of the symptoms I was experiencing was due to my suspected low (or borderline) iron being bound to curcumin and not being available for absorption in my gut. After learning this, I immediately went home and took a dose of my geritol. The lightheaded feeling and dizziness went away the same day! And on day two, I was feeling well rested, energized and clear of mind. I also stopped taking the tumeric and olive oil mixture. It worked beautifully but I want to have some labs drawn before adding it back into my routine again. Until lab work gets closer in date ,Geritol is now a staple in my diet.

Best iron vitamin, taste a little bit odd, but really help with fatigue, also experience hair growth🙌🏽

If I had to buy it again, I would definitely do the capsules! The solution itself tastes horrible! However, I will continue using it for the benefits it offers. Keep a flavored drink close! Lol.

I wish I could tell you this tastes fine. It does not. To me, it tastes like someone soaked raisins in a puddle containing loose change. The label’s description of the flavor as “pleasant” and I have agreed to disagree. Unfortunately for me, I actually like the product. I don’t take it every day because sometimes I simply cannot convince myself that I want a tablespoon of Swamp of Metallic Raisins. But when I take it consistently, I notice a real improvement in my energy level. I haven’t had my iron levels tested since I started taking it, so I can’t say what effect, if any, it’s had on my lab values. I can only speak to how I feel when I use it, and for me the difference in energy is noticeable. So here we are: five stars for a product I actively dread consuming and will apparently continue purchasing. Please, Geritol. Never change the formula. But perhaps stop calling the taste pleasant.

I don’t know about baby in a bottle, especially since I’m older but this definitely gives me the energy and iron I need! It doesn’t taste to bad, so I don’t mix it, there are no side effects (for me) and it’s affordable!

I used this product for 2 weeks before leaving a review. I was cautious because I previously raved about another one but I'm ready to brag about Geritol's benefits. Not only do you have the 18 mgs of Iron in a single serving but the vitamin B complex plus other vitamins being added gives an effective burst of natural energy. It's easy on the digestive system, hasn't messed with skin (I'm prone to break outs) and I noticed results about 5 days in. I take it right after breakfast and I feel my energy lift less than an hour later. Thank me later!

NOT A PAID REVIEW.... ok so I got this because my most recent lab results said my iron was low low. I have extremely heavy periods to the point that I have to wear those pretty ugly period panties. Said all that to say I got this THEE DAY my cycle started. Day 1 per usual flow but my day 2 which is my most heaviest day wasn't so heavy. It changed my ENTIRE FLOW. Was it still heavy yes but not to the point that I needed period panties and changing it every 4 hours (yes that is how heavy it is) but rather a really good overnight pad was used throughout the day. Day 3 normally was heavy was again not as bad and the cramps which are usually unbearable were actually bearable. Day 4 was smooth sailing. I normally have a 7 day cycle. With taking this out cut down to 5 days. Shooketh I was. I also noticed the extra energy that came along with taking it. I am normally depleted of ALL energy during this time of month and I will say it was significant difference. Like I was able to clean the whole house different. Where as I am normally in the fetal position on the couch with a heating pad and a towel up under me. Now for the taste.... its horrible and ain't no way around that. It's nasty but bearable with an IMMEDIATE chaser. You may also notice that for the first few days your burps will also taste like it BUT keep going. I promise it's worth it! I am not going to lie and say this was the only thing I took BUT with the lab results showing my vitamin D was low as well I added it to the mix. So it maybe the combination that worked together but I rather be honest than fuggle an honest review. If your iron is low or your a PCOS girly with endometriosis like I am just buy it! But don't say that I didn't warn you that about the taste. The benefits outweigh the taste.

It arrived late. The taste is not pleasant, I found it horrible. I have been taking it for 2 weeks, don't feel any difference but that could be because my iron level is extremely low. I have started to notice it's staining my teeth which can happen with oral iron supplements. Overall I won't be purchasing it again.
