Hema-plex comes in different strengths. I think the softgels are 85 mg per 3

capsules. That may be the ones you have.

I used to take the hard tablets, they were 85 mg per one tablet.

Lethal Lee had a good point about the ingredients in these, they are not

perfect. But I would like to share my personal experience with them. They do

contain green tea, which I try to avoid because of the fluoride. The B vitamins

they contain are not the absolute best form of B vitamins available. BUT - iron

is a HUGE problem for me, so I decided to take Hema-Plex anyway, because they

just plain raised my iron better than anything else I ever tried.

I had to stop taking them because I have high copper (which is fairly rare) and

they contain copper. If they came out with a copper-free Hema-Plex, I'd be back

on them in a heartbeat.

> > > Thanks, I've read this a million times, and I initally started out doing

it this way. Then I found I couldn't tolerate more than 4 or 5 doses of 6.25

(once I started going up to the 12.5 dose I could handle the first one, but when

I added the 2nd one I posted about the loud pounding heartbeat etc. here, and

learned that meant I couldn't tolerate more) so I went back down to stay at the

6.25 4x a day, and then per val (because we didn't know what my adrenals looked

like) went down to 6.25 mg 2x a day, then I added a 3rd dose of 6.25, was fine,

and waited to get some tests done. I got the iron , ferritin and cortisol labs

back,and I don't know why really, but I just tried again. Is it ok to do that?

What would make it not ok to do it?

Or rather new things keep popping up to deal with!
