Herb Lore's Iron Tonic Tincture is the BEST for correcting anemia! Many folks complain that regular iron "does not agree with them", makes them nauseous, gives them heartburn or makes them constipated. When something makes you feel icky, you probably will not take it. Anemia is nothing to ignore, especially when you are pregnant. When comparing cost and effectiveness, Herb Lore's Iron Tonic Tincture is unsurpassed at bringing up at sluggish hemoglobin (at a fraction of the cost of any alternative, on the market iron supplements). We have seen a very quick rise in a woman's hemoglobin from one visit to the next. J.W., Midwife
