What are Floradix Iron Tablets?

Floradix Iron Tablets are a carefully formulated food supplement that combines easily absorbable iron (II) from ferrous gluconate with essential vitamins and herbal extracts. This unique blend helps maintain energy, reduce tiredness and fatigue, and support red blood cell and haemoglobin formation.

The tablets are also enriched with vitamin C, which enhances iron absorption, and folic acid, which contributes to normal maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. With selected herbs and rosehip extract, the formulation is gentle on the digestive system and designed for daily nutritional support.
