I took Holland and Barrett iron tablets when I was suffering from iron deficiency due to a poor diet. I was vegetarian at the time, had been for years, but I was missing something along the food chain because I had become lethargic, out of breath very easily and under my eyes was very pale (medics' first sign of anaemia according to a friend of mine, a medic). The Holland and Barrett iron tablets were a dark blacky colour, quite round which sometimes made them hard to swallow and had to be swallowed with LOTS of water (although I recommend having at least half a litre of water with each tablet you take anyway). The iron was put into the tablets with blackstrap molasses! They didnt taste too nice if on occasion you couldnt swallow them fast enough either! However, they did the trick and within 2 weeks I was feeling much MUCH better. I was feeling much more like my normal self, less lethargic and out of breath and the colour was returning to the skin below my eyeballs. I was a very happy bunny so I would recommend these tablets to anyone who needs to take iron. However you should go to the doctors if you are feeling lethargic and espcially if you are out of breath and get it checked out first, and if you are iron deficient then take these.
They are a bit expensive, but in comparison to tablets form Boots I found these to be cheaper. Holland and Barrett are great for providing specific supplements you may want, and their staff are trained to help you with whatever supplements you want so you can always check if you are not sure!
The packaging was air tight and child proof, simply packaged to clearly tell you that these were iron tablets from Holland and Barrett containing blackstrap molasses. No fancy designs but who needs them?

Great product!
