WHO SHOULD TAKE FLORADIX
OR FLORAVITAL?
Women and girls of childbearing age have great
demands made on their
bodies and their iron
reserves through
menstruation and
hormonal changes.
RECOMMENDED DAILY DOSE
EXPECTANT AND
RECENT MOTHERS
During pregnancy and breast
feeding, a woman’s demand
for iron becomes even
greater than normal, as it is
essential for the healthy
growth and development of
the baby.
SLIMMERS AND VEGETARIANS
Restricted diets may mean the diet is lacking in sufficient
quantities of the right foods to maintain iron and vitamin
levels – so Floradix or Floravital can be useful in making
up the shortfall.
CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
The physical growth of
children can rapidly
consume the body’s iron,
added to the fact that
children’s diets are often
not as balanced as they
should be – an iron
supplement can be a
safeguard for good health.

WHAT MAKES FLORADIX AND
FLORAVITAL SO SPECIAL?

the body.
• Herbal extracts, e.g. from nettle, carrots, spinach,
fennel and ocean kelp, help maintain a healthy
digestion and provide further trace elements.
• Vitamin C and fruit concentrates enhance the iron
absorption.
• Fruit juices give Floradix and Floravital a pleasant
taste.
Answer the questions below to see if your iron levels
could do with a boost!
Yes No
Are you a woman between 15-45 years?
Are you pregnant or breastfeeding?
Do you often feel tired and run down?
Do you have pale skin under the
eyes and nails?
Do you have brittle hair and nails?
Do you have cracked skin around
the mouth?
Do you drink a lot of tea and coffee?
Are you vegetarian/vegan?
Do you often have cold hands and feet?
The more ‘yes’ answers you give, the more likely it is
that your iron levels are low and they may need
replenishing.

FLORADIX AND FLORAVITAL
CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING;
Iron
Supporting the body’s immune system, iron enables red
blood cells to transport oxygen from the lungs to all
parts of the body. Since red blood cells don’t reproduce
themselves, iron is vital for their regeneration, whilst
ensuring the proper function of the heart, liver, gastrointestinal system and skeletal muscle.The body’s iron
comes entirely from food and
derived from meat, fish, fruit, nuts
and vegetables. However, not all iron
that enters the body is absorbed –
and medical experts agree that most
of us don’t take in enough iron. Iron
absorption rates can be improved by
the consumption of vitamin C. Iron
absorption can be hindered by too
much processed bran, milk, black tea,
coffee and vitamin E.
Herbal Extracts
Carefully selected herbal
extracts from nettle, fennel,
quitch roots and other
plants help maintain a
healthy digestion which is
very important for the
absorption of iron.Together
with the fruit juice
concentrates these herbs
counteract digestive
problems often associated
with other iron preparations.
Vitamin B1
Helps the process of generating energy from food,
whilst maintaining the nervous and digestive systems.
Vitamin B2
Ensures energy release from food and helps production
and repair of body tissue. Important for healthy hair,
eyes and nails.
Vitamin B6
Helps maintain healthy skin, nerves and muscles. Assists
in the production of antibodies and hormones.
Vitamin B12
Needed for the formation of red blood cells and in
maintaining a healthy nervous system.
Vitamin C
An antioxidant vitamin that assists iron absorption.
Helps maintain healthy gums, teeth, skin and blood
vessels.
