Nuvamin – Liquid Liposomal Iron Drops for Baby, Toddlers, Kids, & Teens, 2Fl.Oz (60ml), 120 Daily Serving. Great Taste - All Natural - Vegan - No Metallic Aftertaste, Berry Flavor

It’s a great iron supplement for babies and toddlers. It has a good taste, excellent quality, and a clean label. No stomach upset, no teeth staining — and the best part is how easy it is to use. Very effective! 👍 I highly recommend it.

My son is almost 5. He has been prescribed a very large dose of daily iron since he was 15 months old due to issues absorbing iron, likely due to his Crohn’s disease. He is also autistic with sensory issues and an eating disorder, so finding meds that he likes the taste of is difficult, especially with iron supplements that often have a metallic taste which he does NOT like. When he was little, we used the prescribed iron liquid from the pharmacy which was NASTY, it was unflavored and very concentrated and tasted like a handful of pennies, only a stronger taste of that taste. It took 2 of us to hold him down and force him to choke it down, every day, for 9 months. That experience was traumatic for him and it really affected his willingness to take meds for a long time. We then switched to a multivitamin with iron in it (Enfamil poly-vi-sol+iron) as a maintenance dose per drs orders once his ferritin level had finally reached the minimum acceptable level. At his 3 month recheck his levels were back down to where we started before he was ever taking iron. We refused the liquid as we didn’t want to put him through that again and I found a high iron (45mg elemental iron) chew (similar to a starburst) that had no iron taste (which he decided he didn’t like anymore about 6mo ago so we switched to a 65mg elemental iron gummy I found) as well as nature made iron gummies, and a capsule of heme iron that I mixed in 10mLs of his formula in a syringe everyday, all to reach the dosage he was prescribed (88mg elemental iron). We kept him on all that and a year ago we had to weight adjust his dose (up to 133mg elemental iron) as his levels took a steep dive again. At that time, I found this liposomal iron, which I was excited to try as liposomal iron (much like heme iron) is more easily absorbed by the body and isn’t blocked by dairy/calcium like ferrous sulfate is. He LOVES it. We also added a flinestone+extra iron vitamin tablet at that time since these drops aren’t cheap and he needed to go up by nearly 50mg and this is only 10mg/mL so we were doing 2mL/day of it which makes the bottle last 1 month. He has never been a big fan of the Flinstones ones as you DO get an aftertaste of iron from them, but he took it without too much of a fight, that is, up until 2 months ago when he flat out refused and would cry or spit it out. So I found him a gummy vitamin he likes WITHOUT iron in it, and increased this liposomal iron to 3mL/day to make up for not having the iron in his multivitamin anymore. His iron levels went up while on the liposomal iron quicker than the last time they dropped, and look the best they’ve ever looked actually. I’ve tasted these drops myself and they do taste good, they smell really good too! Another bonus of liposomal iron (again, much like heme iron) is that it doesn’t affect bowel movements, which is super important for him as he has Crohn’s which causes stomach pain and spasms, but also has chronic constipation due to congenital hypotonia (low muscle tone), and we don’t want either of those things worsened. So when his GI doctor heard we were using liposomal iron, he was ecstatic as he’s never been a fan of my son having to take iron due to the GI effects. He’s currently taking 100mg elemental iron total right now as of September in hopes that’s an okay maintenance dose for him. 🤞🏻 My only wish is that this was more concentrated, like 20-30mg/mL would be fantastic and then he wouldn’t need his other iron gummies anymore as it would be reasonable to give his entire iron dose in these drops. If Nuvamin ever comes out with concentrated liposomal iron drops I’ll be the first one to grab it up!

Great product, easy to digest iron with pleasant flavoring. Would buy again for sure.

The only iron supplement my daughter liked, this one doesn’t smell, tastes great and she looks forward to her vitamin time before bed. She no longer has to take this product now that she is over one but she still points to the bottle wanting her vitamins.

The only iron I can take with gastritis and an ulcer. I tried 7 different iron types and sadly, they all inflamed my conditions and made for weeks of painful recovery. Now, healed, I am using this and slowly increasing dosage for my goal to assist in ferritin levels for RLS and am not having any inflamation in the stomache. Those who suffer take note. Gentle. I also take liposomal vitamin C ( purchased on amazon as well ) to help with absorbtion along with this great product.

Bought this as other iron causes nausea . I am only Using half the recommended dose as full dose caused nausea but I figure some is better than none! Flavor is decent enough somewhat of a berry flavor. No idea why It comes with a dropper without markings on It for amount…you need medicine syringe to get proper dosing. It comes with one but once you pull up the amt you need It leaks out .

This product is really good. I have been using it for about a week now. It is really easy to drink. If you are low on iron get some of this.

This helped with raising my son's iron level. Ut isnt that harsh on the stomach

Works

I have been using this for my daughter for several months as she is very fussy about food and therefore does not get much iron intake. Because she is so fussy I was worried that she wouldn't take it, but the dosage is tiny so it was easy to intially add it to the small amount of food that she eats, and after a while I tried it by itself and she will happily take it- she even takes the spoon back to try to get every last drop. She has had no side effects, and it is keeping her iron levels up.

It’s a great product and boost my kid’s appetite without making the stomach upset or stains on the teeth.
