Talk to your practitioner about whether Floradix's 10 mg per serving is enough for your specific situation. If you have hemochromatosis or iron overload, do not take iron supplements without practitioner guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamart's Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFloradix has been on Canadian shelves for decades. The iron is ferrous gluconate, which is gentler on the gut than the ferrous sulfate in basic iron tablets, and the liquid format means it's already dissolved and ready to absorb. The added vitamin C supports iron absorption, which is why most practitioners recommend taking iron with vitamin C anyway. Pleasantly fruity, not metallic. At 10 mg of iron per serving, it's a daily maintenance dose. For diagnosed iron deficiency, your practitioner may want a higher dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Salus Floradix Compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFloradix vs Standard Iron Tablets\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFloradix (this product):\u003c\/strong\u003e Ferrous gluconate liquid, gentle on digestion, includes vitamin C and B vitamins, pleasant fruit taste.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Iron Tablets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Usually ferrous sulfate.

It also helps protect iron from being blocked by other dietary compounds like tannins (in tea and coffee) or phytates (in grains and legumes).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's why Floradix includes vitamin C right in the formula. Standalone iron tablets often don't, which means you'd want to take them with orange juice or a vitamin C supplement to get the same absorption benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults: Take 10 ml twice daily before meals (morning and evening), or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. For best absorption: avoid taking iron within 1-2 hours of coffee, tea, calcium supplements, or dairy products — these all interfere with iron absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShake well before use. Refrigerate after opening.

Pregnant women need 27 mg daily. Most adults get about half from food, so 10-20 mg from supplements is typical for daily maintenance.
