Product Review: Sangobion Iron Capsule

     Hello dearies! Finally, I'm here to share my experience on Sangobion Iron Capsule. For my new readers, I've been taking iron supplements on and off and the need to take iron resulted from my Salpingectomy operation 3 years ago. I was advised to take an iron supplement for 3 months because I lost a huge amount of blood during my operation. I also had a blood transfusion that time so iron supplement became an important part of my everyday supplements.

     Long before I joined the Sangobion Go Love Life campaign, I'm already a Sangobion user. I did not join the 15-day challenge because I already know the difference Sangobion versus other brands of iron in the market today. Maybe you'll ask me why only today that I'll be sharing my review if I'm already a long time user of the brand. It is because I've stopped popping iron supplement for more than a year and wasn't able to document the effect of the product. I also took Sangobion because I'm obliged to take it due to anemia and not because I need to review it. Anyhoo, more information about Sangobion after the jump. Click CONTINUE READING and see why I highly recommend this brand of iron supplement to boost iron production in your body.

Here are the benefits why you should consider taking the brand :)

• Sangobion is organic iron.
• Sangobion is ferrous gluconate and not ferrous sulfate. This organic iron formulation allows for better absorption* inside the body and has less gastrointestinal side effects than ferrous sulfate. *Haler, David (1952). The Therapeutic Response of Secondary Anemias to Organic and Inorganic Iron Salts. British Medial Journal, United Kingdom.
• Sangobion has Vitamins and Minerals
• Sangobion is packed with Vitamin C, Folic acid, Vitamin B12, Copper sulfate, and Manganese sulfate.
• Sangobion contains SORBITOL. 
• A common side effect of most iron supplements is constipation. Sangobion’s Sorbitol component acts as an anti-constipating agent. Sorbitol is naturally found in edible fruits and vegetables.
• Sangobion is chocolate-scented. 
• Ferrous sulfate usually leaves a metallic aftertaste. Sangobion has a sweet chocolate scent that conceals such metallic hint.
• Merck Seal of Quality.
• Sangobion is manufactured under strict quality processes of professionals of The Merck Group (Merck) – the oldest pharmaceutical company in the world.

Product Review: Sangobion Iron Capsule

What I like:

• The price- I can say it's cost-effective because aside from iron, it also contains a minimal amount of other vitamins like Vitamin C, Folic acid, Vitamin B12, Copper sulfate, and Manganese sulfate.
• It is chocolate scented making it easier to swallow, unlike regular iron supplement that smells like rusting iron. 
• No unusual or unpleasant taste in the mouth after swallowing the capsule.
• Sangobion doesn't upset my stomach. I experienced bloating upset stomach, and stomach pain with other brands of iron supplements.
• Sangobion doesn't cause constipation- this is one of the nicest things about the brand that's  I highly recommend it.
• Taking Sangobion doesn't make me feel lethargic and sleepy.
• I noticed that there's an increase in menstrual flow which I like because when I don't take iron supplements like Sangobion, I only have 2-3 days of very light menstrual flow. 
• Easily accessible.
• There are a batch, manufacturing, and expiry date printed on the package.

What I don't like:

• None so far.

Will I repurchase: Yes! 

Recommendation: 

     I give this a 5/5 rating. I really like this organic iron supplement. I take one capsule every day (any time of the day) and I don't feel negative reactions at all and yay because there's no constipation at all! But before taking iron supplements you have to consult your doctor first. I believe that there's a recommended period of time when start and stop taking iron supplements and it depends on the state of your body. 

     Take for example my father is a dialysis patient and he takes 500mg of iron capsules 3 times a day. So better check first with your physician on how long you should take iron supplements and if you need them.
