It’s important to maintain a low Osmolality rating when adding iron therapy or a multivitamin with iron for an infant, especially so with premature infants for risk of possibly causing electrolyte disturbances leading to dehydration. *
“Human milk is nutritionally better than formula milk for preterm infants. However, unfortified human milk may fail to meet the theoretical requirements of very low birth weight (VLBW). Human milk fortifier (HMF) increases the nutritional content of human milk. However, the important factor of concern in feeding VLBW is the osmolality, the higher the osmolality, the greater the risk of necrotizing entero colitis (NEC). Therefore, high osmolality in fortified human milk should be considered for this condition.” (1)
“Routine warming of breast milk with glucose polymer-containing additives, or the addition of lactase enzyme to lactose-containing feedings, can increase osmolality to levels that exceed current guidelines for premature infant feedings.” (2)

United StatesThe Iron did its job, but it thoroughly stained my kiddos teeth black. No amount of brushing would remove it.
United StatesToddler will take just fine, spits out any other brand. Great stuff!
United StatesHearing your child is iron deficient is worrisome for any parent, I am sure. I was so nervous that my child wouldn't take the iron supplements (as the others we tried previously were VERY unwelcomed)... This product has been a game changer. Our daughter asks for more every day. I am so thankful we tried this product and will continue to purchase it until it's not needed. Thank you!!
United StatesThis was our first time using Nova Ferrum, which was recommended by our Pediatrician as an iron supplement for our daughter. We have used different brands of liquid iron in the past, and have had difficulty getting her to tolerate the taste. We are so pleased that Nova Ferrum is flavored, dye free, sugar free, and our daughter takes it without difficulty! We have only tried the raspberry grape flavor, but see other flavor options listed on the site. We will be purchasing again as we will be needing to supplement for some time. We have just started using this product and hope we will continue to be pleased with this brand.
United StatesMust taste pretty good because this is the only one she'll drink.
United StatesThe dropper hardly sucks the iron up and when I can get it to work I cannot get it to dispense the liquid out. It stays in there and it’s impossible to know how much my kids are getting
United StatesNot good still haven't received order. And tried talking to someone with no luck
United StatesMy son is happy to take it, so I'm assuming it tastes good! I was so relieved.
United StatesKids love it now they wont have low iron
United StatesIt's not easy finding the best form of iron for your little ones when they are very picky eaters. This liquid iron is good. True to what it is and my babes are getting what they need for good health. Most iron for toddlers out there aren't as great. For some children iron isn't so easy to absorb with the diet they have and all of the sugar that is found in most food that we eat. This helps and it's easy to give and it absorbs well.
United StatesGreat! Very satisfied
United StatesThese are the only drops that we have found that our toddler is willing to take. Every time used to be a battle and now it’s super easy!
United StatesExcellent As Always!!!
United StatesSuch a great product. My child is super picky and refuses to take iron supplements or any medicine in general but this has went completely undetected. So glad my doctor suggested this!!!! Lifesaver!! So far so good. Excited to see if it has helped my child’s iron levels. Little pricey but worth it if it brings the iron levels up. Will definitely order more in the future.
United StatesGood but too much cost.
United StatesI’ve tried the other iron products for babies and each time my baby spit it right out. The taste of the other iron products was terrible. I got online looking for answers and found NovaFerrum and decided to give it a try. I was completely amazed at how easy it was to give to my baby. My baby actually likes it! No more problems getting a dose of iron in. This product has exceeded my expectations. I would recommend it to anyone who is having trouble getting their baby to take an iron supplement.
