Are you low in iron?
Iron is one of the most common dietary deficiencies, affecting as many as 4-5 billion people or 66-80% of the world's population, according to the World Health Organization.
Some of the symptoms of iron deficiency are:
- Fatigue and general lack of energy
- 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.
The average person's body will only dissolve and absorb 20% (3) of most solid supplements and will eliminate the remaining 80%, possibly causing side effects such as constipation, gas and bloating. Because Floradix is a liquid solution and does not need to dissolve, 98%3 of the iron is available for quick potential absorption. As a matter of fact, Floradix was found in a recent study to be faster and more effective at bringing iron stores back to normal than iron from food (1), and can help women boost the average diet, which contains only 8-10mg/day, in order to meet the recommended daily iron intake of 18mg.
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 (5).

I've tried a lot of different iron supplements in pill form, but I never felt like they were improving my borderline anemic condition, and all of the formulations I've tried were constipating. Floradix is different. Although it tastes horrible, I always make sure to take it every day (twice a day during my period) because I feel ike it's making a difference in my energy level. And I've actually learned how to swallow it without tasting it (the trick is to not breath through your nose while swallowing it and for at least a minute afterwards--chasing it with some juice is necessary, too).

This is good during and after pregnancy if you don't have a problem with yeast. If yeast is an issue, the yeast-free version of this is great. You will notice an increase in energy. It kept my iron levels great during pregnancy.

Took this while pregnant. Tasted great - like a fruit puree.
