Real superiron! 1,5 jars used and ferritin has increased from 7 to 22. Haven´t achieved such a good value with any other iron product.
Merje –
I´m very satisfied that such a product exists! My blood results got much better. In 2 months my ferritin increased from 4,3 to 22 and hemoglobin from 99 to 121.
Thanks for the articles as well!
Brigitta –
I also had a good effect – hb increased from 84 to 129 with only 1 jar. This is a number that for years has been quite unachievable for me. Thank you!
Merle –
It is really unbelievable for me. I purchased a jar from Südameapteek and hoped that it does not give me any stomach problems. Just checked my results from digilugu.ee and my ferritin level has doubled and hb increased from 117 to 134! I also used B12 and this has also increased well. I used products from June to September and had no stomach problems. Would jump to the sky if possible. Will definitely purchase a new jar.
oie.kurvas –
Ferritin increased from 4,8 to 14,9 and hb has now increased from 123 to 141. Will definitely continue using the product. The product does not cause any side effects 🙂 I recommend 🙂
Kristiin –
I have now used for couple of months but haven´t done new tests yet for ferritin but I feel much better. So I believe that Superiron works. I´m very satisfied that compared to other iron products I have used, this one did not cause any side effects.
kaire.maal –
3 months ago my ferritin was only 6,5. 2 months after using Superiron and result is 16,5. Hemoglobin used to be 111, now 128. Synthetic iron is not good for my stomach so I am grateful that Nõgel is there with their Superiron! Thanks and will continue using.
Triin –
Second pregnancy and now using Superiron. I am already on week 30 and couple of weeks ago hb was 116, before that is decreased shortly to 110. Now I take 1,5 pills instead of 1 pill daily. My midwife said that hb is soon back over 120. Even 1,5 pills daily did not cause constipation. Looks like a good supplement!
Riina –
It did not work out for me. Caused constipation. And straight after I started using. So pity, I hoped that that product suits me finally.
Kristin Parika –
Increased ferritin level quite fast.
Maret –
Did not suit me as I am allergic to crustaceans. Looks like chlorella is not good for me. One jar used and my hands and feet starte to feel itchy, used allergic pills for symptoms. It appers that chlorella indeed is allergen for me. Don´t know my ferritin level yet.
Virve –
Superiron is a really friendly product to stomach. I feel much better! Thanks!
Jane –
Finally a product got its correct name 🙂 Superiron
After the first week I already felt that I have more energy. After 3 weeks of using Superiron my hemoglobin level increased significantly, never got such a fast results with any other iron supplement.
Eliise –
Really effective! Ferritin increased back to normal within a month, great feeling of tiredness disappeared. I am really satisfied and recommend!
Helle –
Very effective!
Karin –
I have used up until now 79 pills of Superiron. I started using during summer due to low iron level. Soon I already need a new jar 🙂 I have so much more energy than I used to have and no allergic reactions. I wish to continue to be your customer as I really appreciate high-quality domestic products.
Thank you and all the best for the future
Pille –
It really helped. I tried so many other alternatives but finally sticked to this product. Did not hurt my tummy and did not cause sickness.
Gerttu –
Great product. During pregnancy my iron level improved super fast and did not upset stomach.
Julia –
The only iron that helps in case of low growth hormone. It is currently the only product that saves me.
Anna –
My daughter used your Superiron in August and September and got results today – ferritin 30! and hemoglobin 140 in 2 months! My daughter, now 21 y, has been a vegetarian for the past 5 years and low ferritin has been a problem since then – ferritin 3 or 4 – whatever she used it stayed the same and hb was only 98 – I was so concerned as she was so tired. Other iron products upset also stomach. I want to give you a big thank you and wish all the best!
Evelin –
As I am a donor, my ferritin was very low (11) and I could not donate blood for some time. I used a jar of Superiron, ferritin and hb increased. Very effective and product works fast. Recommend!
Marjut –
1) products that work and are of high-quality are easy to recommend, well because they work 🙂 My both sisters used Superiron during pregnancies and got all their values up. My good friend now got her ferritin and hb back up with Superiron (before that she had chronic anemia and ferritin was as low as 4 in August). Used Ferrum Lek and Spantone before Superiron, no effect. In August started using Superiron as I recommended (every second day) and checked her results- hb 141 and ferritin 64! 😀 Doctor did not believe the results 👍
Maria.talv –
I have always had low hemoglobin and ferritin levels, sometimes less, sometimes close to the lower limit. I used and I am using also now Superiron (60mg) or Iron x2 during pregnancy and breastfeeding, sometimes (by accident) forget. During pregnancy, a month or two before giving birth I got my numbers even higher than the lower limit. I have now breastfed for 1 year and 2 months and hemoglobin was 122 and ferritin 36,9. This is a good win for me as I eat rarely meat and drink coffee and tea every day. I always use dairy daily. I think that without Nõgel´s Superiron my results would have been very low. When I feel tired and I have forgotten my pill, I start using and tiredness goes away. No side effects. No stomach problems and mood swings like one other iron supplement my midwife recommended caused. And I wasn´t the first one my midwife said. I am more than satisfied!
Your loyal customer
maris –
Super, one jar used and ferritin increased from 13 to 45. Best shape in my life! and what is the most important – no bad side effects and constipation.
tuuli.vahtra –
Very good! I use it for the first time and I like!!
helena –
First supplemenet that did not cause any major stomach concerns. Satisfied.
tanja –
I have used it for 2 months and ferritin has increased! So grateful for that product. I feel good. Definitely will continue using this product.
Triin –
I used one tablet every other day during the last trimester of my pregnancy, as prescribed by my midwife. After just one month of treatment, my blood test results were back to normal. If you are worried about constipation with iron supplements, there is no risk with this supplement. Based on my own experience, I would recommend it.
Ene –
Very good product, I bought a jar from the pharmacy during pregnancy and got my iron levels back to normal with this product, plus I needed a short course after giving birth to get my levels back to normal. One jar lasts for a long time. Great product! While other products have taken longer to improve iron levels and have also caused stomach upsets, this product has not caused any.
Kerttu –
I used Superiron for a month straight during pregnancy, 2 tablets every other day, but my hemoglobin did not increase, but instead dropped by 1. I sincerely hoped that the domestic and pure product would work, but unfortunately it did not for me.
Jelena –
The doctor recommended this particular iron supplement for anemia. I noticed that my eyesight has also improved. Unfortunately, it really upsets my stomach.
Jelena –
I have a very positive experience. For several years my hemoglobin and ferritin were lower than normal. So I had little energy, I felt weak. A vegan friend recommended this product to me. I have participated in blood donor campaigns several times, and the same, several times I did not get in because hemoglobin was below 120… sad, I have a good blood type, I could share it with those who need it. I started consuming Superiron, and the result was immediate. Surprisingly good results, the last time hemoglobin was 128, I am 46 years old, and I have never seen such numbers in my life. I feel good, my face is no longer dull. The taste is normal, I consume it in the morning on an empty stomach, about 45 min. before breakfast. In October I will become a donor again 🙂 So, a very honest product, I highly recommend it.
Julija –
The only iron that is really absorbed and works. Does not cause stomach irritation. I sincerely recommend it to anyone who needs to get good results.
Age –
Corrected my ferritin levels quickly and nicely. Very reliable and high quality.
Kristi –
Nogel Superiron is the only thing that helps me correct my iron deficiency. I do a Superiron course at least twice a year. All my friends already use it on my recommendation and praise it.
Kadi –
I really like that the tablet is small and therefore easy to swallow. It is also very positive that it has not affected digestion, which has been a concern with previous iron supplements.
Marje –
It really works! The zest for life is back!
Agneli –
Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me (very strong bloating/heaviness in the stomach even after two weeks of use), but you never know until you try it. Otherwise, it was a pleasure to take Nôgel iron tablets instead of some other company’s liquid iron supplement, which had an extremely strong, nauseating taste.
Kai –
The best product for replenishing iron stores. I have struggled with low hemoglobin for years and tried many different products, all of which have some side effects and the results are expected. This time I chose Super Iron and used it in the evenings, every other day and less often, and in two months my hemoglobin increased to 113-140, without any side effects. When I went to give the analysis, I didn’t dare to hope to even reach the lower limit of the norm, but such a result blew both me and the doctor away 🙂 I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone who needs to increase their iron levels. It really suited the body very well.
Merike –
Iron from 6 to 19.2 and Hg from 104 to 122 in 1 month. I haven’t seen numbers like that in a long time. I’m very grateful that there is finally a product that works so well. It doesn’t bother my stomach, the first few hours after taking it there is a slight nausea, but it is completely tolerable and the more time goes by, the less I notice it. The general feeling is much better. My strength is coming back and I have more energy. Thank you Nögel!
Kairit –
Good product.
Signe –
At first I couldn’t connect my hair loss and dull appearance to iron deficiency. I’ve been taking super iron for two weeks and the quality of my hair has improved in just a few weeks. I’ll definitely do an iron course for 2-3 months to see maximum results. Very good product!
Liina –
With this I finally got my iron fixed.
Marili –
I discovered Nõgel Superiron during pregnancy. It was very good, it didn’t make my stomach feel tight like other iron supplements from pharmacies do. In addition, the increase in hemoglobin was very visible in blood tests. I now also take it while breastfeeding so that the child’s iron reserves are sufficient, since babies cannot be provided with iron in any other way than what they get from breast milk. I recommend it to everyone with iron deficiency!
Liisi –
Really great iron!
Ann –
I started taking super iron during my pregnancy and immediately felt much better and had more energy. I haven’t compared tests to older tests, but I can already tell from the way I feel that the product is suitable and works effectively!
Jaan –
It didn’t work for me. I was very careful to take it correctly, but my ferritin dropped lower than it was before – as if I hadn’t taken the iron supplement.
Maarja –
I am 7 months pregnant. I started taking super iron 2 months ago because my HB had dropped to 105. Otherwise, my HB was usually 140. The low HB affected me so much that I was always terribly tired. A month after taking the iron supplement, my HB dropped even more, to 102. That’s why I started taking 2 tablets a day, now 3 weeks ago. And finally, my HB has started to increase, the result is 115. I know that iron absorption takes time. Unfortunately, an unpleasant side effect is vitamin C, which gives me heartburn half an hour after taking the preparation. But without it, the iron would not be absorbed. There are no stomach problems. I continue to take super iron in double the amount and monitor how my blood tests change every month. The changes are positive.
Lizzy –
The product has helped increase iron stores. Super iron indeed! 🙂
K. –
I bought the product because it was highly praised. During pregnancy, hemoglobin and ferritin dropped below normal. Unfortunately, the product did not work in my case (I used it daily for 3 weeks before repeat tests).
vikkat40 –
Hello! It seems to be working. The teenage girl no longer feels so weak. We are currently waiting for feedback from the doctor.
Kristiina –
It worked very well and I have been feeling better over time.
Margit –
I have been using super iron for several months now, great effect. Very grateful for this product, while the iron supplement prescribed by prescription caused terrible negative side effects and absorption was non-existent, Super iron is absorbed perfectly and has no side effects 🙂
Helena –
In two months, my ferritin went from 11 to 32.8. In addition, my stomach was moving very well, if not faster than before. I highly recommend it! 🙂
Maris –
Thanks to 2.5 months of taking Super Iron, my hemoglobin went from 116 to 130 and my ferritin went from 8.9 to 26.8. My energy level increased in the first week. I didn’t notice any stomach upset. I completely agree – the product is GREAT!
Thank you!
Siiri –
Very effective product. Ferritin readings increased nicely and there were no stomach upsets. I took it every other day for better absorption.
viibeke –
Nögel products are the only ones that haven’t caused stomach problems and the ferritin levels have also increased nicely. So great that it’s also an Estonian product! ❤️
Sirle –
I have been using the product for over 3 months now and my ferritin reading went from 9.5 to 28.4. I no longer feel the urge to eat ice, snow or chalk 😀
Marju –
Works well! More power.
Agnes –
I am satisfied, I feel better and I am not tired. Great product and I know it works❤️
Triin –
I was struggling with low ferritin and hemoglobin readings since August 2022. I started taking an iron supplement from another well-known company and took 2 packs of prescription iron. In three months, I managed to get hemoglobin from 71 to 78 and ferritin from 4.2 to 4.8. To be honest, I panicked and thought that I probably had some kind of particularly serious blood disease when I got such a result after three months of exemplary iron consumption and nutrition… My family doctor wanted to write a new prescription (he already mentioned intravenous iron administration) and I said that I wanted to try “Super Iron” first. In 6 weeks, it raised my hemoglobin reading from 78 to 142 and ferritin from 4.8 to 35.2. I continue to use it to approximately double my ferritin level.
Tatjana –
The first iron supplement that didn’t cause stomach problems. It really helped raise iron levels.
Margit –
I am very satisfied with the product, at first I was prescribed a prescription to increase my iron levels, which had a very bad effect on my digestion and well-being. I have no problems or side effects with Super Iron and I am feeling better and better.
Annemai –
I have been using Super Iron with varying success for a few years now. My ongoing iron deficiency anemia is now under control and I take the supplement every other day. Having struggled with iron deficiency for years, I can say that Super Iron is a really effective product, the biggest advantage of which over many others is the fact that it does not disrupt digestion. My stomach is not upset even when taken daily! I highly recommend it!
Chris –
I am a long-term user of Nõgel products and I am very satisfied!
The new products are also exciting and I will definitely try them.
Kai –
I am very satisfied, it works well, I am halfway through my pregnancy and will have another blood test soon, so far it seems to be working well (best for digestion). I will probably have to increase the dose as the baby grows because I was already iron deficient before pregnancy.
Enely –
I have used Nögel Superiron during and after pregnancy. It helped raise ferritin levels without causing constipation. The tablet was also convenient to take.
Kersti –
It works and tastes good too. 🙂
Sirle –
I’ve only been using it for a few weeks, but I already have more energy and less heart palpitations. I haven’t tested my ferritin yet, but I believe it works.
Maarja –
The first iron supplement that didn’t cause stomach problems. I haven’t had my iron levels checked again yet, but I feel much better. I recommend it to everyone!
Renata –
I started using super iron in the third trimester of pregnancy, because my hemoglobin had dropped to 102g/L, and I felt better very quickly — in about a week. I continued taking iron after giving birth, and once again my fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath disappeared in about a week! Immediately after giving birth, my Hb was 106, and a month later, it was 136! I have struggled with iron deficiency anemia for most of my life and have taken various iron supplements. None of them have been so fast and effective in increasing hemoglobin, without causing constipation.
Birgit –
I can’t say how the test results increased, but I know that I feel much better. While other iron tablets bought from the pharmacy caused severe stomach problems, there are no problems with Nõgel products. I am very satisfied!
Eveli –
Super good and 100% effective tablets. For me, a big bonus is that they don’t upset my stomach and they help quickly.
Nele –
Superrrrr!
I bought it on a whim before I got the blood tests. It turned out that my ferritin was 3. I had been in a state for a long time where nothing could be done, neither at home nor as an entrepreneur.
I haven’t had the time to donate blood again, because after two weeks I had such a will to act that there seems to be no end in sight. I feel like my center is back and my strength has returned both mentally and physically.
I thought then, what a great idea, such a simple solution: a proper iron supplement. Why I had to struggle :))
Emma –
The product has been used during pregnancy and the hemoglobin has practically not dropped at all. The stomach has not started to swell either.
Mikk –
My husband used it during pregnancy to increase his iron levels. It worked.
Liisi –
After three months of use, my ferritin level has increased from 12 to 28. It has a good effect on my well-being and my menstrual cramps have completely disappeared. A truly great product!
annpet –
This Super Iron is an incredible product…. My iron levels were basically zero. I was prepared to suffer from constipation again and the iron levels in my blood would still rise a little. I suddenly felt the results in the third week and the blood test at the end of the fourth week showed a huge increase. So, a wonderful, effective and pleasant product that I dare to recommend.
Maarja –
I feel like this product has had an effect on me too, I’ve been at 16 for years and now I’m approaching 40, it’s a miracle, other iron products haven’t helped before, several friends have praised it and I’m a complete fan from now on
I’ll definitely continue using it. And I recommend it to others😍
Grete –
During pregnancy, Nôgel Super Iron was recommended, and it really didn’t interfere with digestion and worked well!
Mairis –
It helps a lot.
elina –
The best iron supplement I’ve tried so far, especially because it causes the least digestive complaints.
Catlin –
The only product that helps keep iron levels in the body under control. After giving birth, I had surgery and lost a lot of blood, so my iron levels were low. In four months, I have regained my iron levels and I feel much better.
Piret –
I’m already taking the second bottle and no stomach problems! My hemoglobin has increased and so has my ferritin. I definitely recommend it! And if anyone has any questions, I definitely recommend writing to Nogel, they answer very thoroughly!
Kadri –
I recommend the product! I have been looking for a product that would not affect digestion and would quickly increase hgb levels. I used to consume tothema, but I disliked its taste. However, there are no problems with the taste with this product, it increases hgb levels nicely and does not affect digestion 🙂
monza –
Thanks to Nõgeli Super Iron, I was able to normalize my low iron levels during pregnancy and give my baby the biggest gift for me – to give birth at home with an official midwife!
Geitlin –
I have used several iron supplements, this is the best so far, really!
does not cause stomach problems, does not cause pain or cause abdominal distention.
I have managed to get my iron levels back on track with this, thank you!
Mairit –
This preparation was recommended to me by my midwife, because my iron levels had dropped at the 28th week of pregnancy. I have been taking it for more than a day and have not had any negative side effects (e.g. no bloating, etc.). I am very satisfied, as I was prejudiced, having heard various stories that many people can have bad things when taking iron tablets.
pet –
A surprisingly effective product that does not cause any side effects. Thank you very much and stay strong!
Kätlin –
In 2 months, my hemoglobin went from 97 to 126. Very good product and I will continue to use it.
Irints –
After a month of use, hemoglobin levels were good, and other iron supplements could not do that for three months. I used it during pregnancy. My child also used it, and his concentration improved immediately.
Aire –
Iron levels back to normal in one month. I recommend!
Meelika –
I recommend it! My hemoglobin levels quickly returned to normal. In addition, it didn’t cause stomach upset, which I was afraid of because I have previous experience with iron tablets from other companies.
Karin –
I am very satisfied. Before using the product, my hemoglobin was too low to donate blood, but after about a month of using it, I was able to donate blood again. The doctor was also surprised that it worked so well.
Piret –
Great! I’m very satisfied. Good for my stomach and my iron levels are fine.
Maarja-Liis –
It fits perfectly! 🙂 It doesn’t cause any side effects and increases hemoglobin and ferritin nicely.
Kelli –
I used it during pregnancy, but due to low hemoglobin I took it twice a day. I didn’t get constipated. You have to watch out, as with all iron preparations, not to consume it with dairy products. It’s good that it already has vitamin C, so you don’t have to take it additionally (for the iron to be absorbed)
Margret –
My iron blood levels were in the red for years, below 90 units. The doctor was worried that the anemia would not go away, even though I had taken various over-the-counter and prescription iron supplements.
I found the Nõgel Super Iron product, read the information and started using it. After using it for at least half a year, my hemoglobin level rose above 150 units. I am very happy because the benefits are noticeable – fatigue was the first to disappear, my hair stopped falling out and started to grow, the skin on my hands is no longer rough and I have much more physical strength. I recommend it to everyone who has a problem with low iron levels. This Super Iron is a great product!
E –
I was already losing hope because no product helped. Until I ordered super iron and b12 drops. Hg rose from 104 to 110 in just a week. So it’s worth a try. I definitely plan to continue taking it.
joeleht –
I would never have been able to complete my marathon training without Nõgel Super Iron! An indispensable assistant because when running hundreds of kilometers a month, it is almost impossible to get all your iron reserves from food.
Hanna-Liisa –
The only iron supplement I use and it’s a great help! Very satisfied
Kaire –
The name of the product is very accurate! It really is super iron. My ferritin level was restored in two months. All other important indicators in the blood picture also improved. Thank you for such a good product!
haiba –
The cancer patient had very severe anemia, and after using super iron, Hg increased significantly.
reinu –
Thank you, your product doesn’t give me a stomach ache. I’m very satisfied!
Mia –
Super Iron is a super product! No other product has been able to raise ferritin levels so quickly so far. 🙂 Thanks!
leelike –
My ferritin level in the blood was very low in the spring and I was feeling tired. I haven’t had another blood test yet, but I feel better and I’m not so tired anymore.
I definitely recommend it. And what I like most is that this product is vegan!
Margot –
A real super iron! In 3 months I got my ferritin from 13 to 40 and my Hb from 125 to 137. Another big plus is that it didn’t cause any problems with digestion.
liisim –
I was recommended Nõgel iron by an occupational health doctor and I am very satisfied 🙂
Greete –
During pregnancy I took iron with vitamin C, after a heavy and difficult delivery I had to start taking a lot of iron. I knew right away that I needed Nögel again for iron, but this time super iron🙂 Such a good product, works great and doesn’t have a bad effect on digestion! Nögel was recommended to me by my midwife, 1000 thanks to her for introducing me to this brand:)
Stella –
I’ve only been taking it for 2 weeks and haven’t been able to measure my iron yet, but these are the first iron tablets that don’t make my stomach turn and feel nauseous and I can take them. This already makes me happy! I’m already looking forward to the readings, I’ve never had it over 12 in my life. 🙂
-kai –
During pregnancy, I went from 98 to 116 in a month, and right after giving birth, it was already over 120 🙂
Margot –
Iron supplement that doesn’t cause stomach upset. Ferritin increased from 7.3 (April 21) to 32.7 (June 16). Very satisfied and happy!
Kerli –
A few months ago, my corners of the mouth were really chapped. When I had a blood test, it turned out that my ferritin level was 5 and my hemoglobin was 90. Since I have taken various iron supplements throughout my life, all of which did not have a good effect on my digestion, I decided to start taking super iron on the recommendation of a friend. I take 120mg of it a day and within the first week, my corners of the mouth were healed and my digestion is fine. Really good product. I will give blood again soon, then I will see how much the iron level in my blood has increased 🙂.
Pilleriin –
Very effective. Hemoglobin quickly returned to normal. I recommend!
Olga –
Good iron, no side effects, the child is happy to take it.
Teele –
The best iron supplement I’ve tried. It doesn’t cause stomach upset unlike other products I’ve tried. My mood and indicators improved in just one month 🤗 thank you, great product👍
Maarja –
The drop in HGB that increased with pregnancy has recovered, I will definitely buy more if needed!
heste –
Hello! I am satisfied and even more than satisfied. In January, ferritin was 5 and now 2 months later 34.6. Hemoglobin also 88->125.
Sometimes when I have taken even 2 tablets, my head was spinning and I felt a little sick, I have to take a break for a while.
maaarja –
The best part about the product is that it doesn’t stop digestion 😉
Tatjana –
I have been using it for two months and my ferritin has increased! I am very grateful for this product. I feel great!
I will definitely continue using this product
Helena –
The first iron supplement that didn’t cause any significant stomach problems. Satisfied.
Nogel –
3 weeks is a very short time, especially during pregnancy, for retesting. During 2nd semester, hemoglobin makes the biggest drop and the lower limit for anemia also decreases then. However, iron should still be continued and hgb starts increasing with more time passed. During pregnancy this is a very normal situation that when administering iron and restesting hgb has decreased but when continuing with iron, hgb starts increasing.
Nogel –
When ferritin decreases even when taking iron, you should consult with a doctor. It may be that there is a more serious problem related to iron. Iron is eliminated from our body by blood so there can be internal bleedling that causes the drop in ferritin.
Nogel –
This is something we have seen quite a lot during pregnancy (hgb first drops and then starts to increase when iron is continued). As the blood volume increases during pregnancy and hgb drops the most during 2nd trimester, iron should not be discontinued. Hgb will start to increase after many weeks.
Nogel –
Then you could try the stronger iron syrup, which has 50 mg iron per 15 ml. This includes only organic orange and pear juice concentrates, purified water and of course iron bisglycinate.
Nogel –
When constipation occurs, it is usually straight after starting iron, usually during the first 2 weeks. This is the time when your body gets used to additional iron. We never get such great amounts of iron from food, so taking supplements is a totally different world. You should let your body get used to iron and sometimes you just have to think about ways to reduce constipation as iron problems cannot be sold without taking iron. It is recommended to take iron every second day if it affects your digestion too much. This can also help. But the greater the iron amounts, the greater the risks for constipation. With other iron salts (like sulfate but also trivalent iron salts), constipation and digestion problems are much more usual compared to chelated iron bisglycinate that we use.
