Adult women during menstruating age, 18 to 20 mg a day. During pregnancy and nursing, the mother should have at least about 27-30mg a day because the infant requires a lot of iron for its development in terms of increasing blood volume. That same goes for children after birth of course, infants during their young development stage have to drastically increase their body weight daily as well as their blood volume.

Why Choose Floradix Tabs?

A highly soluble iron compound and special iron-fed yeast:Combined with B vitamins & vitamin C to provide the highest possible absorption rate

Highly absorbable iron compounds
Floradix boasts the highest possible iron absorption rate: up to 25%(4)is absorbed for potential utilization (that's more than twice the absorption of other iron supplements or even dietary iron) due to its liquid format as well as the organically bound iron gluconate and co-factors. Better absorption means you don't need to take as much. In a recent study, it was found that due to the high absorption rate of Floradix, very little unabsorbed iron enters into the intestinal tract and therefore constipation is unlikely to occur.

Safe, useable dosage
Because Floradix is so highly absorbable, the dosage can be much lower than other iron supplements while still satisfying daily supplemental iron requirements. As well, there is no risk of excess iron storage(2), making Floradix safe for long-term, daily use.

No harmful additives:No lead, pesticide residues, alcohol, preservatives or artificial colouring

Ideal for vegetarians and vegans

• Decreased ability to concentrate


• Decreased endurance during exercise


• Increased frequency of infection


• Paleness and/or dark circles under the eyes


• Brittle hair and nails


• Cold hands and feet

Iron deficiency (pre-anemia) and anemia have also been linked to PMS, depression, decreased fertility and complications in pregnancy. An early diagnosis of pre-anemia can be achieved with a simple blood test called serum ferritin, allowing for easy correction and prevention of the progression of symptoms.
