Slow Fe Iron Supplement Slow Release Tablets Review

The product is a 60 count bottle of slow release iron supplement tablets, listed as item number 279862 and weighing 0.13 lbs. The page says the tablets feature a special controlled release system designed to deliver the high potency iron the body needs while remaining gentle on the stomach. Each slow release iron supplement tablet contains 45mg of elemental iron, which the page states is equal to 142mg of ferrous sulfate. According to the page, the product is meant to be taken simply, as one easy-to-swallow iron supplement for anemia each day, as recommended by a doctor. Directions on the page state that the daily vitamin tablets should be taken on an empty stomach, either one hour before or two hours after meals. The page describes the tablets as formulated for daily use and for less discomfort. The listing highlights several features. It describes non constipating iron supplements that use a controlled release system to deliver iron slowly to the body, which the page says causes fewer digestive side effects.

The bottle is described as one 60-count bottle of Slow Fe 45mg Iron Supplement for Iron Deficiency. The page also notes that the item is part of the Test to be Trusted Program. It states that CVS requires all vitamins and supplements to be third-party tested to help ensure they contain the listed dietary ingredients, and it directs shoppers to cvs.com/tested-trusted and to a program page for details and additional information. Pricing on the page shows $19.49, or 32.5 cents per tablet, with a note that prices may vary from online to in store. The page currently displays the item as out of stock in the sticky header. The page also shows a 4.8 rating from 106 reviews and states that 100% of reviewers would recommend the product.
