MaryRuth's Iron Gummies for 14+ with Vitamin C for Absorption | Sugar Free | Gummy Iron Supplement + VIT C | Energy Metabolism | Cellular Health | Immune Support | Vegan | Non-GMO | 60 Count

I plan on updating this review 3-6 months from now to reflect on any health updates BUT, I needed to say this right now. I've been a MaryRuth customer for 5 years and I love their products - mostly because I hate taking pills and their liquid/gummy versions are lifesavers. I take their biotin gummies, and their vitamin D gummies, and both are incredible. My vitamin D levels are officially in a healthier range, and my skin/hair/nails look and feel so much better. This iron gummy however is VERY different. It does have a medicinal grape taste (if that's what you're into), but it has a grainy/powdery consistency. I've been taking it for 3 days now and I can tell you I hold my breath and my nose when chewing and swallowing. It's not good. Plain and simple. I almost gagged on the first day. But I trust this company so much, and am so relieved that I found a gummy iron WITH vitamin C (their liquid doesn't have the additional vitamin C), so I'm gonna continue taking it unless I run into horrible side-effects (which has never happened to me with MaryRuth products). Just wanted to let anyone reading this review know that this IS NOT like their other gummies. It's odd, it's metallic, it's grape-y, it's hard to chew if you don't like certain textures, but I'm willing to bet money I'll feel a positive difference in my body come March 2026. And anything is easier than swallowing a damn pill (hence the 4 out of 5 stars). UPDATE in June of 2026 - Been taking this every day since October of 2025. Forgot to take it on multiple days but I've gone through four bottles so far. Ferritin went up by 26 points and iron went up by 18 points! Not claiming that this alone helped my ferritin level, but clearly it makes a difference. Ferritin was going up by a single ng/mL every year for three years when I took the liquid iron, and last Spring it was only 9ng/mL. And now boom - up by 26 in less than a year. Changing this to five stars because who cares about the taste as long as it's working for me!

**Updated: I am amending this review based on the great customer service. I love other MaryRuth supplements like their kids and adult fiber gummies but this one had a strong taste, metallic and not one I would purchase again. I know iron is prone to a strong aftertaste so I may just be sensitive to it. The company took the time to reach out to me and ask about what could be improved which shows their attention to their products and company. Super rare to find that these days. As I said earlier, I wouldn’t buy these again but still buy their other supplements.

I've tried several iron supplements over the years, and these MaryRuth's Iron Gummies are by far my favorite. They're easy to take, taste great, and don't have the unpleasant aftertaste that many iron supplements do. What I appreciate most is that they're gentle on my stomach. Iron supplements can sometimes cause digestive discomfort, but I haven't experienced that with these gummies. They've made it much easier to stay consistent with my daily iron intake. If you're looking for an iron supplement that's convenient, tasty, and easy on your stomach, I highly recommend giving these a try!

I really wanted to like these because I usually love MaryRuth’s products, but the taste was awful. Every time I tried to take one, I gagged and couldn’t make myself finish it. I know taste is subjective, but these just weren’t for me. Unfortunately, since supplements can’t be returned once opened, I ended up wasting my money. If you’re sensitive to strong or metallic flavors, I’d keep that in mind before purchasing.

I’ve tried the pills but got go upset, couldn’t handle the liquid at all. Was hesitant about getting cause mixed reviews but GET THEM. They don’t taste bad. They taste like a grape chewy gummy. If you’ve had liquid this does not even compare. It’s the only way.

I nearly didn't order this based on the horrible reviews. This is an iron supplement that is meant to be chewed. It is going to taste metallic, that just needs to be expected. My useless superpower is my uncanny sense of smell, which gives me a strong sense of taste. I taste the grape in this while chewing, and I taste the lingering iron for a while after swallowing. Neither are particularly "good", but they're not awful either and I had no problem getting them down. The texture is a bit strange as others had mentioned, it's definitely not chewey like a gummy bear, honestly the best way I can describe it is if you imagine pumice in gummy form. Again, I have some eating sensory issues and did just fine with this. Mileage may vary depending on batch and your own taste buds, but if, like me, you need a portable source of iron thats not a liquid or pill, this is the best alternative. I prefer liquid iron but I eat a ton of dairy, it is my main source of protein, and finding that 4 hour window that is 2 hours after my last dairy product and 2 hours before my next varies depending on my work/commute/life schedule. Being able to bring this with me to take on the afternoon commute between lunch and dinner is a game changer, as the liquid iron has to be refrigerated and expires usually within the month of opening. I have chronically low ferritin levels even though I've been a very good (healthy) vegetarian for 23 years, but my body just doesn't absorb non-heme iron well, and I have insane blood loss with my absurdly heavy period every month, which got even worse after my pregnancy. My ferritin levels are now typically in the single digits. I'll come back in and update my review in a few months when I get my blood test again to see how much this supplement helps.

I really like this brand for the quality of their products - but they're also pretty expensive. So far, it has been hit or miss as far as the taste and texture go with their gummies. These are a miss for me. They have a nice chew (not rock hard), and the initial taste is okay ... but then it kind of fades into this weird chalky medicine taste that coats your entire mouth. You can tell it's an iron supplement - it has this weird "iron" aftertaste ... I'm also not really sure this has enough iron in it to actually make an impact if you're naturally iron deficient. I wouldn't buy again, but I'll use what's left in the bottle.

Iron in a gummy, sign me up! Easy on the stomach and easy to remember to take.
