Comment:
Polysaccharide iron is linked to pnemonia, after having two episodes of a respiratory problem after taking high doses of this powder, I did my research and found I was not the only one. If your looking for liquid iron || bigycinate is better. The side effects of polysaccharide iron is unknown and yet to be researched.

Comment:
I have taken Hema-Plex,85 mg elemental iron, for anemia for several years with on side effects. Two months ago I started I started having diahrea like episodes every morning. I'm not sure the iron is causing it. The Dr. says I am almost not anemic any longer. When I had to stop all medication and supplements five days prior to a colonoscopy, the diahrea symptons stopped also.
