Floradix Liquid Iron

Description

 

What is Floradix Liquid Iron?

Floradix Liquid Iron is a carefully formulated supplement providing highly absorbable organic iron (II) from ferrous gluconate, combined with vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12 and C. These nutrients help reduce tiredness and fatigue, support energy-yielding metabolism, and maintain healthy red blood cell and haemoglobin formation. Vitamin C further enhances iron absorption.

Unlike tablets, the nutrients in Floradix are dissolved in liquid, making them more quickly absorbed by the digestive system. Its pleasant taste comes from natural fruit juice concentrates and herbal extracts.
