Lucky Iron Life ® Natural Protection Oil, 4oz - Apply to Your Lucky Iron Fish or Leaf to Maintain, Protect and Prevent Rust - Vegan, Made with Pure Coconut & Lemon Oils

I have several women in my life who have to deal with anemia. Getting enough soluble iron in the diet is important and this little gadget seems to really help. I do not like how expensive it is. Let's be honest. For a chunk of cast iron, it is insanely expensive. However, I do care that the company is Canadian and appears to maintain excellent quality control, even though the fish is NOT made in North America. The fist appears to be made from pure iron. Not a pig iron with a lot of poisonous contaminants. There are a lot of "cast iron" fish and other objects being sold to do the same thing that this does, but they are not pure iron. They are basically made with old sewer pipes and melted down scrap, so you are putting whatever they had laying around in your body. Not smart. After a few uses, you can tell that they are working. If you lay them out to dry, the fish will get a very thin coat of rust. PERFECT! Toss it into a soup or pot of sauce and away you go. They come out clean again meaning all that iron got into the food. There is absolutely no change to the taste of prepared foods. If you put this in a glass of water and wait for a while, it will make the water taste a bit "rusty" or metallic, but of course it would. For the size of the fish to a glass of water, that is a lot of surface area for iron to transfer into the water. But if you boil water for a pot of noodles with the fish in the pot, you cannot tell that it was there. The noodles taste like they should. This fish is super easy to use. Just throw it in in a pot while cooking then take it out when serving. Like a very heavy bay leaf. The features on the fish make it very easy to clean. Give it a light scrub, dry it off if you like, and put it next to the stove to use the next time. I like the fish style. Playful. It is oblong in all dimensions, so it will NOT sit flat on the bottom of a pot. You can easily feel it with a utensil and move it around or take it out with ease. If you wanted, you could tie a string around the tail and tie it to the pot handle if you were worried about losing it. It is heavy, so it is almost impossible to miss when serving out of the pot. I really like this iron fish and it seems to do its job. Everyone reports that their iron levels are better than before.

I was honestly skeptical about the Original Lucky Iron Fish when I first heard about it — a small piece of iron you just boil in water to help prevent iron deficiency sounded too simple to actually work. But after several months of using it, I can say it’s one of the most practical and sustainable health purchases I’ve made. It’s a 5/5 product for anyone who wants to naturally boost their iron without dealing with the side effects that come with traditional supplements. The concept is straightforward: you add the fish-shaped piece of iron to a pot of boiling water or soup with a bit of acidity (like a squeeze of lemon or a splash of vinegar) and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. The heat releases a safe, low dose of iron into the liquid. Then you remove the fish, dry it off, and use the water for drinking or cooking. It’s incredibly easy, completely tasteless, and fits seamlessly into daily routines. The biggest benefit for me has been avoiding the usual supplement issues. Iron pills often upset my stomach or cause constipation — but the Lucky Iron Fish doesn’t cause any of that. It’s a gentle, food-based way to get extra iron, and it feels like a more natural solution. After using it regularly for a few months, my energy levels improved, and my blood tests showed a noticeable rise in my iron levels. It’s reassuring to know I can maintain that without taking pills or powders. Another thing I love is how sustainable it is. One fish lasts for about five years, which saves money and cuts down on waste compared to constantly buying supplements. It also feels good knowing the company gives back — every purchase helps provide iron fish to communities affected by anemia around the world. It’s rare to find a health product that’s effective, ethical, and environmentally friendly all at once. The product itself is solid and well-made. It comes with clear instructions, a cleaning cloth, and storage info so you can keep it in good condition. It doesn’t rust or flake if you follow the directions, and it’s compact enough to store easily. I use it a few times a week, mostly when boiling pasta or making tea water, and it’s held up perfectly. If you struggle with low iron or want a simple, side-effect-free way to maintain your levels, the Lucky Iron Fish is a smart investment. It’s easy to use, effective over time, and completely safe — no additives, no aftertaste, no stomach issues. It’s the kind of product that quietly becomes part of your daily life and makes you wonder why more people aren’t using it. A genuine five stars for innovation, impact, and ease of use.

I'm so glad I discovered The Original Lucky Iron Leaf! As someone who struggles with iron deficiency anemia, I was looking for an alternative to traditional supplements that often cause unpleasant side effects. This product has been a game-changer for me. The concept is simple but brilliant - just add the iron leaf to your cooking water or drinks for 10 minutes, and it infuses the liquid with a significant amount of bioavailable iron. I've been using it daily in my soups, stews, and even my morning oatmeal. The best part is, there's no metallic taste or side effects like constipation. The leaf itself is made from high-purity, food-grade iron that's approved for fortification. It's extensively tested for safety and quality. I appreciate that it's manufactured in India by a reputable company that meets global standards. Another major plus is the 5 year supply included with each purchase. At just pennies per use, it's an incredibly affordable way to boost my iron levels long-term. And for every leaf sold, one is donated to an underserved community, which I love. Since incorporating The Original Lucky Iron Leaf into my routine, my energy levels have increased and my anemia symptoms have greatly improved. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a natural, side-effect free way to prevent or treat iron deficiency. It's a simple, effective, and socially conscious product that deserves 5 stars!

Easy to use and clean. I hope it works for me since I have anemia. I guess I'll find out next time I have bloodwork done.

I put 4 out of 5 stars only because I have not used this very long. Love the concept of having an easy way to add iron to my diet.

Not good quality. It is rusted

En 3 mois d'utilisation ma ferritine a monté de presque 40 points !! C'est surréaliste pour moi qui avait tellement de mal à la faire monter même avec beaucoup de compléments chers. Je vais décrire ma façon de l'utiliser : Tous les soirs j'amène 1L5 d'eau à ébullition dans une grande casserole. Puis j'y ajoute le poisson de fer et une demi cuillère à café d'acide ascorbique (vitamine C). Ça permet autant d'acidifier l'eau pour que le fer y passe bien, et de mieux absorber le fer quand je le bois. Après 15 minutes j’éteins, j'attrape le poisson avec une pince, le refroidi sous l'eau froide. Puis je le sèche correctement et le couvre de gras avec mes doigts (très important à faire immédiatement. Une fois je l'ai oublié 10 minutes et il a eu des traces de rouille ! Elles sont partis en frottant avec une éponge en métal mais bon, autant l'éviter). Ensuite je verse cette eau dans des bouteilles en verre solides. Et ça me fait mon eau à boire le lendemain. Si jamais je dois mettre de l'eau dans une recette j'utilise cette eau. Elle passe très bien aussi avec des fruits ou sirops acides. Globalement ça me fait une eau avec un goût un peu acide et métallique mais qui ne me dérange pas du tout, on dirait juste de l'eau à la vitamine C. Si on trouve ça bizarre plein de sirops ou autre devraient convenir pour s'assortir avec l'acidité. Ça a l'air compliqué dit comme ça mais ça prend vraiment deux minutes de nettoyer le poisson et mettre l'eau en bouteille. Avec un minuteur sur le téléphone pour ne pas oublier la casserole sur le feu c'est super simple. En tous cas niveau efficacité j'ai vu une montée fulgurante : autour de 12 points par mois !! Ma ferritine a passé les 100 pour la première fois de ma vie, je ne pensais même pas que ça soit possible pour moi ! Et j'ai vu les effets : j'ai une touffe de bébé cheveux de 2cm qui poussent sur chaque tempe et mes cils sont plus longs ! Je n'imaginais pas que mes cils soient en réalité raccourcis par le manque de fer, et pourtant c'était le cas... Bref pour moi qui ai lutté contre l'anémie depuis mon adolescence, et qui ai passé des années à très péniblement remonter ma ferritine à 60 en prenant des compléments chers en grande quantité, cette méthode me change la vie. Quand mon fer sera dans le haut de la norme je me mettrait à l'utiliser plus occasionnellement, sans inquiétude que ça redescende vu que je saurai que je peux le faire remonter rapidement ! Bref je conseil d'essayer.

Rusty. Bad Taste.

استخدمته مرة واحدة و اعتقد انه ممتاز

The Lucky Iron Fish is a brilliant, natural way to boost iron intake. It’s completely safe, reusable, and easy to use—just pop it in boiling water or pasta. There’s no taste, no rust, and it doesn’t change the food at all. Great for anyone who struggles with iron supplements or wants a gentle option. I love that it’s non-invasive and family-friendly. Highly recommend for improving iron levels without hassle!
