BetterYou Iron Supplement, High Strength Iron 10 Liquid Oral Spray for Men and Women, Fast-Acting to Support Energy & Immune System, Gentle on Stomach, Natural Pomegranate Flavor, 25ml

I'm at drama school as a mature student and last term I was feeling INCREDIBLY burned out. I've suffered from severe burnout before from working a corporate job - i felt like my brain was stuffed with cotton wool, I had terrible brain fog, I was constantly exhausted, spending every minute of free time sleeping and still waking up exhausted, and my mood was down the toilet. Back then I went to the doctor and tested rock bottom for vitamin b12, D, ferritin and folate. I felt pretty much the same when term ended: I couldn't think clearly, I was randomly really struggling with some very basic lines, notes from directors which needed to be implemented instantly for screen was overwhelming (with stage I could at least write it down first and then take some time to process, but screen is redirection between takes, so you have to be really on it) -so I decided to take some vitamins because as an actor you NEED your brain to work so you can remember lines - you can't cruise through on autopilot or hold your brain together with post-it notes. I'm terrible with remembering to take pills but somehow these are much easier to remember to take.I take B12, D and Iron all by BetterYou. Individually the sprays taste nice, i just chuck them all down my neck at the same time and they still taste ok, even though mint (Vid D) and fruit is a little odd in terms of a combination.I've been taking them for a month and even though I'm still knackered and foggy all the time, it's not AS bad as it was. I'm feeling maybe 15-20% better I wake up with a little more pep in my step, my weekends aren't wasted being a slug in bed, my mood has definitely improved (although I think that's also to do with having a 5 week break). Vitamin deficiences take time to build back up - 3-6 months so I think I'm on track to being a functional human again.In the past I REALLY struggled with iron supplements - they gave me all kinds of digestive problems and I still don't tolerate pills terribly well. Feroglobin is ok but I don't really like the syrupy texture and feeling like i'm having a massive serving of sugar with each dose. These aren't crazy sweet, my gut tolerates it well too, and I haven't had any problems. I just wish that for people like me who need to take iron long term there was a bigger option or a refill that doesn't use so much plastic.

I’ve been borderline anemic for a while, so my energy had always been low. I started using a daily iron spray and it’s made a difference!I had my blood tested (whilst donating) before starting and then again two months later and my haemoglobin levels had gone up! The spray is super easy to use, spray it 4 times in the morning. It doesn’t taste bad, and I like that I don’t have to swallow a pill.Overall, it’s been a really simple, effective way to help support my iron levels without changing much in my routine. If you're low on iron or tired of taking lots of different pill based supplements, I'd definitely recommend giving it a go.

Easy to use , tastes ok

Great product, easy to use nice aftertaste, gives that boost that's needed for good health!

Great supplement

After being warned that iron tablets cause digestive issues, I tried the spray. My iron levels and energy is back up. It tastes fine, slight iron aftertaste but nothing horrible. Highly recommend if you need an OTC iron supplement

Fast working high strength iron supplement. pleasant taste and easy to use.

I went on this due to very low iron. I tried tablets and they upset my stomach too much. Spray is better, tastes fine and no stomach issues. I had my iron tested before starting this and it came out at 12. Been on the spray 6-9 months and I’ve just re tested and I’ve come out at 17. So I’m quite pleased. Gp said to stay on the spray and diet improvements and I will re test myself in another 6+ months time. Diet improvements I’ve also made are eating a little bit more beef, eating cashews (not the salted ones!) and 3 dried apricots every morning. All good for iron.Update March 2025:My gp re tested my iron and it’s a lot better. This spray (4 sprays a day) and diet changes have really helped.
