I'm anemic, but could take the pill supplement for building up your iron and blood. So my Dr. Recommended this and it works great and the taste is tolerable.They seem to be selling old stock. The bottle I received will expire in September. While the product seems identical to one that I bought last year at a local pharmacy, the expiration date is actually sooner than my almost year old bottle. From past experience it takes about a year to get through a bottle this size at a normal dosage. This means probably half of this bottle will go to waste. It is probably better to buy this somewhere local where you can see the expiration date before purchasing, or at least somewhere with a better inventory control system. Per standard, accepted pharmacy/over the counter wholesaling procedures this bottle should have been outdated and removed from stock, not sold.I suffer from Iron deficiency anemia and have to take an Iron Supplement. I need a liquid iron, because pills do not completely dissolve and you have to take a higher dose. This supplement has brought my iron levels back up to within normal range. Now I only have to take half the dosage previously recommended by my Doctor. Finding a liquid iron in the local drug stores is not easy and they wanted to special order it for me at a higher cost. I decided to look in Amazon and found this product for a very good price. This has done the job and I will continue to use it. The taste could be worse, but is not as bad as some others that I have tried. I am not saying that it taste good. Hope this helps you in your shopping decision.Some of us that are sensitive to certain ingredients in this product not described by Amazon and 3rd party vendors.

After taking 1 tsp a day for 6 weeks my iron increased from 37 to 39. I do notice when I forget to take a dose. The next day I feel tired again. I won't say that I have tons of energy since I started taking this, but I will say that I am not as tired as I once was.The bottle says "do not take Ferrous Sulfate within 1 hour before or 2 hours after antacids, eggs, milk, milk byproducts, coffee, or tea." It is hard to take this within thse parameters, but if not, it's just a waste of money. So I usually take my dose at night with a few ounces of orange juice as vitamin C aids in iron absorption.I purchase this for my daughter and she love itLove the product but use to be a better value. I use to get 2 bottles for like $12.
