Geritol helped me get pregnant when doctors told me I would NEVER have a child! My grandmother told me and my husband to take it. I was in and out the doctors office trying everything. I gave up and decided to just enjoy being married. Talked to my grandma and 6 months later I was pregnant at 39😂. I kept taking it for my hair not expecting to get pregnant. My husband liked the energy it gave him. I was VERY healthy! They kept saying I was high risk but NOPE. I walked everyday until I was 8 months. I ate a healthy diet but didn’t eat red meat. I had a 10 pound baby girl! My hair was beautiful! My grandma told me I was pregnant before I knew 😂. I took SIX test because I’d been trying 10 years and couldn’t believe it 😂. I thought I was having twins I was so big. I breastfeed no problem. I took the pills not the liquid.
Wow! Thats a beautiful story! But did your hair grow? 😅 I forgot all about Gerital🤦🏾♀️ My grandmother and others told me abou it years ago, I could have been taking it😪
@@glw5166 ooh no you can still get pregnant during menopause, gotta be cautious until it's all the way over. My neighbor had her menopause baby in her 50s.
Geritol sits on the blood thus making it metal heavy. The floradix is plant based and it infuses with in the blood, giving a more natural iron increase in the body
Thank you. I grew up on Geritol. I was diagnosed with lupus in 88', and pure iron inflames it. I have tried Floradix, and yes, it is pricey, but I will start using it again
Nope I eat clean, exercise daily and take care of my hair. It’s not just the brand of vitamins that made my hair grow long and thick. It all works together.
@@bharris4517Lol 😂nope. My fiancé is currently stationed in Germany. He ll be home in November. So, I ll report back here! Before he left I wasn’t taking Geritol 😂😂😂
Geritol does give you energy, great for hair, and nails. Added bonus it does make you very fertile. I have endometriosis and psos and was pregnant with twins twice. But i love the energy it gives you.
Growing up in Jamaica we were given geritol all the time and when we grow up or leave to other countries (Canada) we seem to disregard or turned our backs on what worked where we came from. Shame on us 🤦🏾♀️
If you no longer have a uterus. That means you are not loosing blood. Please test your iron levels first before using either of these products because iron overdose is very dangerous
@@TheKingsDaughters11 Yes babies (embryos) can't attach anywhere as long as it has a great blood supply. They have fallen out of the fallopian tube into the abdominal cavity attached and came to full term. If they are going to come they will come no matter what...
I remember an Auntie taking Geritol when I was a child. Her hair was so long and beautiful. The older people swear by it. Says it makes your blood rich. 🔥
I said the same thing... I told my friend that I wanted to have a baby a few yrs ago... she was like, take geritol I side eyed her and was like, yeah right... now I'm seeing this, and it's confirmation... will be buying a bottle tomorrow 😊
Lemme tell you. I started taking geritol in 2020 for energy. One day I was exercising with my mom and casually mentioned it. Her words and I state, “Be careful. My mom always said geritol will get you pregnant.” My little yum yum will be 4 in October 😅😂 she was already in there like swimwear and I didn’t even know it. 😂
Yes you will get pregnant. I started back taking Geritol when my children Turned 12 and 13. And got pregnant with my third child 3 weeks after taking Geritol❤❤❤
Let me.ask a dumb question: it's not the Geritol alone that got her pregnant, right? I'm celibate and in NO NEED of child at this point. I Just need some longer thicker hair. I Won't get pregnant just by taking Geritol, right?? 🙈 ( this is a serious question)
What is in Geritol that makes one get pregnant? I thought this is supposed to be a hair supplement? I have never heard of Geritol before so I'm new to this conversation
@@margueritendi7033no, you will need to have sex to get pregnant. I'm guessing it's the ingredients in it that help prepare the body for a better conception during intercourse.
Hey everyone, if you are interested in floradix but are gluten intolerant like myself, floradix has floravital for us folks and geritol is gluten free as well. Hope this helps.
That’s so funny I completely forgot about Geritol!! I was born in 1970 & they always had commercials for Geritol! They never told you it would get you pregnant.
Funny. Ur Short popped up for me after purchasing the pill form from Prime and sharing the info with my family this week. These dang phones are the ultimate spies😅.
Two adult male children 24 years later, pregnancy isn’t a concern for me. 😂 However, It took me a minute to get pass the taste, but I must admit I have energy during the day, nails have hardened, hair is strong and growing, and I shake off colds/flus while everyone is sick at work/home. I am on my fourth bottle. My local drug store has it hidden on the bottom shelf. I buy two at a time and I’m not a doctor but I recommend women to take it daily along with vitamin for women.
Geritol complete is one of some Jamaicans 🇯🇲staple supplement for all those who grew up taking it..with cod liver oil and ferrol... We in the era of geritol complete now😊
Oh chile, you just brought back a memory when I used to go to a friend’s house so we could walk to school together and her mom would give us all a spoonful of cod liver oil, SO I stopped walking to school with her 😂😂😂 Blessings 💚💜
My grandmother (from Bermuda) also swore by cod liver oil. I tried taking it for a while, but I couldn't get past the taste. It also made my skin oily and caused breakouts. I was younger then, so maybe I took too much.
Geritol is a brand of multivitamin! It may and should give you more energy as other vitamins, which includes friskiness thus in some cases pregnancy. The Floridex is an iron supplement which should also produce more energy. Vitamins, iron, it all encourages proper nourishment, thus enhancing hair, nails, skin, and overall health. Please consult your doctor first because the effect can certainly be more harmful than helpful. Don't risk your life for long hair, it doesn't matter in hospice.
Floradix is where it is at for me ! It was the only iron supplement that works for me and and brings all my hemoglobin , red + white blood cells up when they get dangerously low !
This right here is the exact comment I was looking for! My hair is so thin I had my hysterectomy 6 years ago and it's just downhill from there I'm 38 I hate it! I came on RUclips to look at organizing closets didn't search anything restarted my phone got on yt and bam this the 1st short to pop up.... Look at God lol off to Amazon now!
To answer the question that some are asking about" how can iron can be bad?" Iron cannot be expelled from the body like other vitamins and nutrients. Over consumption of Iron/ folic acid can result in cirrhosis of the liver. Please get bloodwork done by your provider to make sure your not doing more harm than good. 😊
Geritol is loaded with synthetic vitamins, chemicals, preservations , artificial food coloring (red #40, blue#2, titanium dioxide, etc). Best to consume whole food vitamins or just eat a healthier diet that has a variety of veggies and fruits. Pls try to reduce and elimate intake of products loaded w/these things. Can increase risk of certain illnesses.
A deficiency in these vitamins can be dangerous too. Geritol has been around for many years it’s a cheaper version of such vitamins and won’t hurt until you can afford the more expensive Whole Foods brands or supplements.
Hello again, I only know about fluoridex because I had a severe anemia issue. I used to take Geritol. Due to complications with taking Geritol that's how I know it makes the blood metal heavy per my physician. I was informed about fluoridex by someone who is into holistic care. That's how I know from experience. But please check with your Physicians.
@@lifeascassandra5758 can you tolerate eating egg whites? It helps in stopping absorption of iron . Im not a doctor. Check with your doctor about including/eating a large quantity of egg whites
I never knew what geritol was but im so glad you popped up in my algorithm. I was just about to shave my head because it wont grow lol imma give this a try first 😅
@@tanyamath8772 this notification made me ask my mom about it and she was like yeah itll make your hair grow but its going to get you pregnant in a week 🤣🤣😭😭
Geritol is a multivitamin whereas Floradix is not. This is why Geritol was marketed to senior citizens to ensure that they got their necessary vitamins. This is also why you feel good all over with Geritol and why some get pregnant. It is not an iron supplement although it has iron in it as do most multivitamins. Floradix is an iron supplement.
@@Maryamjhampton The liquid is also a multivitamin and iron supplement. They are both very good multivitamins but Geritol, even the liquid, contain some vitamins that are not in Floradix. It even contains more iron than Floradix which is better for younger women like yourself. Floradix has a proprietary blend of herbs that might include nutrients that are not listed on their label but it's hard to tell with proprietary blends. Both are good but the extra vitamins in Geritol makes me lean in that direction especially now that I'm close to 60. Your hair is gorgeous so whatever you are taking is clearly working very well.
@@glw5166the liquid she is talking about is not the multivitamin version. There are two different variations. The energy supplement only has iron and B vitamins.
Wow this is confirmation ! I was researching iron deficiency supplements and bought floridix, it’s been 1 week but I’m excited because I know my deficiency affect my hair health. Thanks for sharing!
I started taking this because of you and my hairline started filling out again. I changed my diet 1yr ago and my hair started thinning it wasn’t until month 10 did I start to see gap along my hairline. This has resorted it! Thank you! I don’t take it everyday because of the sugar and the other supplements I started taking recently.
Did you happen to go vegetarian? I’m asking because what happened to you happened to me. I went vegetarian and my hairline started thinking, then I noticed my overall hair was thinking 😢
I have actually used both. Floradex is pricey and finish pretty quickly too. Geritol I haven't seen no difference and the taste is syrup like in taste, no pregnancy! Thank God, and then again I was on a shot then. There both good. Your hair is beautiful. I still have these shrubs of hair. I refuse to cut all my hair down due to Postpartum hair loss. I am still considering a clean bob.
Your hair was always gorgeous, and it’s just flourishing now. I might eventually give Geritol a try. Guys, be careful not to overdose (so to speak) on Geritol. I knew a lady who began taking iron supplements for anemia when she was young. She continued to take them as she grew older because they gave her so much energy. I’d never seen anybody her age with so much energy. She developed cirrhosis of the liver and died as a result.
Actually France health departamento released on several of the légit iron supplement. They could cause cancer although initially recognised by médical bodies as good. Now, the government warned against the deadly side effects. I read in the comments several testimonials of cancer. I am a coach and encourage for the natural supplements or herbal teas ( moringa, horsetail, hibiscus...) Influencers should stop recommending supplements, it s nothing to play with. Hair is one thing overall is more important. If one cares about overall health , the hair growth will be there. People may have to focus on health rather than growing long hair.
@@tribecalledmaya I mix it in my morning eggs. I’m not that creative with it but I look forward to brunch a little more because it makes me feel more energized than coffee. Coffee is a dessert for me at this put with my dairy free milk and stevia sweeter.
I take Geritol liquid 3 to 4 days a week and the other days I take a whole food non-GMO, organic vitamin by Rainbow light. Getting the best of both worlds & feeling good, & seems like it's keeping the gray hair away - don't have to worry about that "side effect" my child is 36😂
I told my cousin to use and her friend said “it’ll make you fertile and get pregnant”😮 I’m like I think we all know how getting pregnant work ,but also if you’re in good health eating the right things that’ll make you more fertile too!!!! Like let’s try being celibate or wrap it up!
Floradix products are worth it. I introduce Florida to my family over 20 something years ago when I change our families diet. Their calcium version is really good especially for teeth health. And I always wondered about the B complex which is unavailable in the US. It can be purchased in Canada. I did my research and it's just powerful is what I'll say I wanted to buy it, but I just don't trust the shipping and the age of the product. So when I visit I guess I'm going to have to transfer this stuff into another bottle LOL and smaller bottles.
Wow! I literally just took my last iron tablet and was about to add it to the grocery list. I come to RUclips and this was on my feed. I’ve tried Floradix at my cousins never heard of Geritol but if it’s multipurpose I m buying it right now! 🙌🏾
Floradix contains the folic acid version of Folate. People with 'dirty mthfr. genes' must avoid. That's around 2 out of 3 people. Thanks for the heads up on Geritol. I will try this because I cannot methylate Folic Acid. I use LmethylFolate5 and get Folate in diet,
I'm approaching 50 aka Geritol age. I hope the copper plated uterus will hold it's fertility effects at bay though bc I'm interested in the other effects ❤
The only thing about the Floradix (2 things🙃) is you have to refrigerate it and it has a short expiration period, even under refrigeration. I ordered it once off of Amazon. At the time, I could only get the large (32oz ?) bottle. You need to take only, a very small amount so it was impossible to consume the whole bottle by the expiration date. Over a certain amount of time , I did notice a change in the taste; you could barely tell it was used, looking at the bottle. I had to throw a lot of money down the drain, so just be aware. Thank you for your info.
I used to take Floravital for anemia. This just reminded me that i need to re-up. Way more affordable than getting iron infusions. I never heard of Geritol. I'm going to look it up out of curiosity.
@@user-zu8qh1ym8s Hello! My mother used to give Geritol to my sister and I as a vitamin supplement. I continue to take it as a supplement and for hair. Geritol has a lot of iron! I hope that I answered your question. Stay blessed 🙏🏾💜🦋🌺
Do you have to keep taking it If you stop taking it will your hair fall out ❓❔ I love the fullness of your hair I have long hair but not thick hair Thanks for sharing sis 💕🥰✨
Been taking Geritol as a child in the early 60s until today, I vstill play soorts and have four sons 😉and 10 grands...a couple sets of twins, my daughter in laws didn't take Geritol.
I take the Geritol capsules and the chastberry to help cut down on my periods works great for me . I was taking the liquid but you get 20 days with when you can get an entire 100 days with the pill . Does the dame thing ❤
@@Brinevercared regulate your periods bc mine were like 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off . And heavy as hell . Now im back to a 28 day cycle and shorten and way lighter . Not flowing heavy anymore .
If you have had a hysterectomy or have no cycle please be careful with geritol….. that means you’re not loosing blood so the iron could cause toxicity in the blood
Thanks to my phone for eavesdropping on me complaining of how thin my hair has gotten in my 30s. You are beautiful and I appreciate you sharing details on the benefits of both supplements. I just bought the Floradix because it has added juice ingredients that will help with iron absorption since you need vitamin C with iron.

Due to complications with taking Geritol that's how I know it makes the blood metal heavy per my physician. I was informed about fluoridex by someone who is into holistic care. That's how I know from experience. But please check with your Physicians.
Thank you for this information, it's very helpful for me as I was considering Geritol to help with my severe anemia issue. I'll take Floradix instead.
I can’t neither one because I have sickle cell anemia and iron overload.
@@lifeascassandra5758 can you tolerate eating egg whites? It helps in stopping absorption of iron . Im not a doctor. Check with your doctor about including/eating a large quantity of egg whites
Wow! I’m glad I watched this video. It’s time to grab me a bottle then call my husband. Anything goes as everything grows!
Definitely helps for pregnancy lol took it for 4 days and got pregnant with my first
Congratulations ! Did you take the pill or liquid form ?
HAIR IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AS USUAL
I use to take this all the time because my grandparents swore by it. It gave me energy
I grew up taking Geritol and it was great. Now that I'm 51 i need to add it back to my regimen. Thanks for the reminder!
I never knew what geritol was but im so glad you popped up in my algorithm. I was just about to shave my head because it wont grow lol imma give this a try first 😅
right and it’s cheap too ❤❤❤
@@tanyamath8772 this notification made me ask my mom about it and she was like yeah itll make your hair grow but its going to get you pregnant in a week 🤣🤣😭😭
I always thought Geritol was for the elderly. Used to see it advertised on tv back in the 60's and 70's.
Give it 30 days 👍
@@TheodoreBakes😂
It will make your nails stronger too I noticed
Geritol is a multivitamin whereas Floradix is not. This is why Geritol was marketed to senior citizens to ensure that they got their necessary vitamins. This is also why you feel good all over with Geritol and why some get pregnant. It is not an iron supplement although it has iron in it as do most multivitamins. Floradix is an iron supplement.
The Geritol liquid is an energy iron supplement. The pill is a multivitamin. Floradix is an iron supplement
@@Maryamjhampton The liquid is also a multivitamin and iron supplement. They are both very good multivitamins but Geritol, even the liquid, contain some vitamins that are not in Floradix. It even contains more iron than Floradix which is better for younger women like yourself. Floradix has a proprietary blend of herbs that might include nutrients that are not listed on their label but it's hard to tell with proprietary blends. Both are good but the extra vitamins in Geritol makes me lean in that direction especially now that I'm close to 60. Your hair is gorgeous so whatever you are taking is clearly working very well.
@@glw5166the liquid she is talking about is not the multivitamin version. There are two different variations. The energy supplement only has iron and B vitamins.
So very true. You will get pregnant and pop out twins. My first twins are 38. My second twins are 32 and my Irish twins were barely 10 months apart.
You are so Strong twins back to back is crazy bless you! 😭💗
@Defnotjolie Thank you. My second set of twins, one did not make it but the other did.
😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅
💐🕊️
Wow this is confirmation ! I was researching iron deficiency supplements and bought floridix, it’s been 1 week but I’m excited because I know my deficiency affect my hair health. Thanks for sharing!
Your hair looks amazing. So healthy and beautiful 💜
Thank you so much!!!
Omg thanks sis😱 god know exactly what he be doing!! I see what you doing here lord. My Iron be sooo low.
My mom took geritol in the 1970’s and my dad used to joke that’s why they had 4 children
Praise god reading these comments I'm definitely grabbing some. ..
Which you want, hair or a baby? Either way, Goodluck Mami! (No pun intended, unless you want it to 😉)
I have never heard whatsoever about Geritol nor Floritex. I will most definitely check this out. Really appreciate you sharing this!
You dont want to overdue an iron heavy supplement.
I started taking this because of you and my hairline started filling out again. I changed my diet 1yr ago and my hair started thinning it wasn’t until month 10 did I start to see gap along my hairline. This has resorted it! Thank you! I don’t take it everyday because of the sugar and the other supplements I started taking recently.
Did you happen to go vegetarian? I’m asking because what happened to you happened to me. I went vegetarian and my hairline started thinking, then I noticed my overall hair was thinking 😢
@@brandnew2767 I started keto due to my migraines and vertigo. I no longer have episodes but I think I wasn’t eating enough also.
I have actually used both. Floradex is pricey and finish pretty quickly too. Geritol I haven't seen no difference and the taste is syrup like in taste, no pregnancy! Thank God, and then again I was on a shot then. There both good. Your hair is beautiful. I still have these shrubs of hair. I refuse to cut all my hair down due to Postpartum hair loss. I am still considering a clean bob.
Quick question to clarify you’re saying you did NOT see a different result between the two??
Your hair was always gorgeous, and it’s just flourishing now. I might eventually give Geritol a try. Guys, be careful not to overdose (so to speak) on Geritol. I knew a lady who began taking iron supplements for anemia when she was young. She continued to take them as she grew older because they gave her so much energy. I’d never seen anybody her age with so much energy. She developed cirrhosis of the liver and died as a result.
That’s so unfortunate. Thank you for sharing 🤍
@@Maryamjhampton 😊
Actually France health departamento released on several of the légit iron supplement. They could cause cancer although initially recognised by médical bodies as good. Now, the government warned against the deadly side effects. I read in the comments several testimonials of cancer. I am a coach and encourage for the natural supplements or herbal teas ( moringa, horsetail, hibiscus...) Influencers should stop recommending supplements, it s nothing to play with. Hair is one thing overall is more important. If one cares about overall health , the hair growth will be there. People may have to focus on health rather than growing long hair.
Thats iron overload which can damage organs
This is some old school stuff. I remember the commercials on T.V. all day long.
My tubes are tied clipped burned all that for 18 years now so I’m gonna give it a try.
😂😂😂😂😂 tied, clipped, burned- me too!
LMFAO 😆🤣😂 i love coming to the comments just for gems like these 🌟👑🏆💎😂
Lol
😂😂 same
TMI
I also recommend nutritional yeast. It’s gluten free, and has no sugar.
That's great for B vitamins. I find it also tastes good.
how to incorporate it? (in food/ drinks)?
@@tribecalledmaya I mix it in my morning eggs. I’m not that creative with it but I look forward to brunch a little more because it makes me feel more energized than coffee. Coffee is a dessert for me at this put with my dairy free milk and stevia sweeter.
I loved it TOOOO HAD SO MUCH ENERGY NEVER TIRED😂😂😂
I take Geritol liquid 3 to 4 days a week and the other days I take a whole food non-GMO, organic vitamin by Rainbow light. Getting the best of both worlds & feeling good, & seems like it's keeping the gray hair away - don't have to worry about that "side effect" my child is 36😂
Hair is beautiful!
Thank you beautiful, I'm going to try and will inform my daughter as she's been having low iron issues.
I told my cousin to use and her friend said “it’ll make you fertile and get pregnant”😮
I’m like I think we all know how getting pregnant work ,but also if you’re in good health eating the right things that’ll make you more fertile too!!!!
Like let’s try being celibate or wrap it up!
Girl everybody not single n lonely ❤
@@beautifullybrokenempress6631how does being celibate = single & lonely?… if u wanna get pregnant or just out here naked w/ everybody then say that 🙄
Geritol had me backed up constipated, but gave me lots of energy.
Yes it will. My mom always had Geritol and Prune juice in da refrigerator. You couldn't take one without the other . Lol 😊
Floradix products are worth it. I introduce Florida to my family over 20 something years ago when I change our families diet. Their calcium version is really good especially for teeth health. And I always wondered about the B complex which is unavailable in the US. It can be purchased in Canada. I did my research and it's just powerful is what I'll say I wanted to buy it, but I just don't trust the shipping and the age of the product. So when I visit I guess I'm going to have to transfer this stuff into another bottle LOL and smaller bottles.
Wow, your hair is everything!!
Thank youuu 🫶🏽🤍
@@Maryamjhamptonyou're most welcome!
Wow! I literally just took my last iron tablet and was about to add it to the grocery list. I come to RUclips and this was on my feed. I’ve tried Floradix at my cousins never heard of Geritol but if it’s multipurpose I m buying it right now! 🙌🏾
I got pregnant after 3 months on geritol. Had tried for a year before that. I don’t know why but it works.
Floradix contains the folic acid version of Folate. People with 'dirty mthfr. genes' must avoid. That's around 2 out of 3 people. Thanks for the heads up on Geritol. I will try this because I cannot methylate Folic Acid. I use LmethylFolate5 and get Folate in diet,
I'm approaching 50 aka Geritol age. I hope the copper plated uterus will hold it's fertility effects at bay though bc I'm interested in the other effects ❤
The only thing about the Floradix (2 things🙃) is you have to refrigerate it and it has a short expiration period, even under refrigeration. I ordered it once off of Amazon. At the time, I could only get the large (32oz ?) bottle. You need to take only, a very small amount so it was impossible to consume the whole bottle by the expiration date. Over a certain amount of time , I did notice a change in the taste; you could barely tell it was used, looking at the bottle. I had to throw a lot of money down the drain, so just be aware. Thank you for your info.
Love it. I have told so many people to just try it for 30 days. They come back saying the something you’re saying ❤
I used to take Floravital for anemia. This just reminded me that i need to re-up. Way more affordable than getting iron infusions. I never heard of Geritol. I'm going to look it up out of curiosity.
OMG didn't realize they still made that tonic!!!
I’m not concerned about the pregnancy part, but I’m interested in the hair growth. I believe I will give it a try.
You are soooo pretty with beautiful hair 😍 🙏🏾💜💐 but other than that, I use floridex. I never heard of geritol until now. Thanks for the info
AS I GOT OLDER I TOOK GERITOL. I'M 68 AND MY SON IS IN HIS VERY EARLY 20s AND 6 FOOT 5!!! IT'S THE LADIES VIAGRA!!!🤯😱 AND YOUNGER MEN 😂
I love Geritol!! I've been taking Geritol since I was a little girl!! It's awesome and it really works! 🙏🏾💜🦋🌺
Love it!!
May I ask what have you been taking it for? The energy or for hair growth?
@@user-zu8qh1ym8s Hello! My mother used to give Geritol to my sister and I as a vitamin supplement. I continue to take it as a supplement and for hair. Geritol has a lot of iron! I hope that I answered your question. Stay blessed 🙏🏾💜🦋🌺
My cousin started taking Geritol at age 47 because she wanted one more child. So she got #6 at age 48. Be advised.
I like geritol because it’s once a day, the other one you have to take twice a day
Just take the daily amount of Floradix in one go. It’s better than geritol bc it has less sugar
I actually prefer the Geritol over the Floradix. I actually need to start using it again, I only did one bottle.
Do you have to keep taking it
If you stop taking it will your hair fall out ❓❔
I love the fullness of your hair
I have long hair but not thick hair
Thanks for sharing sis 💕🥰✨
I’m glad i got my tubes removed several months ago so I’m good on purchasing a bottle 🙌🏽
Been taking Geritol as a child in the early 60s until today, I vstill play soorts and have four sons 😉and 10 grands...a couple sets of twins, my daughter in laws didn't take Geritol.
Her hair is beautiful, omg 😊
Great I'll try it. Im currently abstinent single and happy not dating at the moment so im good 😂 on the 🤰🏾
How have I never heard of Geritol before?!?! Not trying to get preggo but I’m LOVING the hair! ❤ Time to go research…😂
I take the Geritol capsules and the chastberry to help cut down on my periods works great for me . I was taking the liquid but you get 20 days with when you can get an entire 100 days with the pill . Does the dame thing ❤
What does is do for ur period exactly??
I was looking for this comment. I've been taking the vitamins for a few years now and it does the same thing. Liquid vitamins just aren't for me!
@@Brinevercared regulate your periods bc mine were like 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off . And heavy as hell . Now im back to a 28 day cycle and shorten and way lighter . Not flowing heavy anymore .
If you have had a hysterectomy or have no cycle please be careful with geritol….. that means you’re not loosing blood so the iron could cause toxicity in the blood
Omg I work at a pharmacy and people STAY coming to the store looking for Geritol. Half the time its sold out
Thanks to my phone for eavesdropping on me complaining of how thin my hair has gotten in my 30s. You are beautiful and I appreciate you sharing details on the benefits of both supplements. I just bought the Floradix because it has added juice ingredients that will help with iron absorption since you need vitamin C with iron.
Flo radix for the win
That shine ❤🤌🏼
