It matters more in children than in adults because iron is needed for the brain development happening at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFloradix KIDS is the children's version of the formula Salus has made in Germany for decades. It carries 10 mg of iron as iron (II) gluconate per 15 ml, with vitamin C at 20 mg to aid absorption, plus niacin, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 — and it is built on a base of herbal extract and fruit juice concentrates rather than a syrup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gluconate form and the liquid delivery are the reasons this exists rather than a tablet. Iron salts in tablet form are the ones that cause constipation and stomach upset, and a liquid gets around the other problem entirely: small children cannot swallow tablets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGluten free and lactose free, with no alcohol and no chemical preservatives. Salus has been making liquid herbal preparations in Germany since 1916. The house method is the same across the range: plants pressed or extracted into a liquid, with no alcohol and no chemical preservatives, which is why every bottle needs refrigerating once opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Salus Floradix KIDS Liquid Iron and Vitamin Formula Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for children and adolescents from 1 to 13 years, and particularly for fussy eaters, vegetarian children, and any child whose practitioner has flagged low iron. It suits families who have tried chewable iron and met resistance — a measured 15 ml dose in a juice base is an easier sell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIron supplementation in children should be discussed with a health care practitioner rather than started on a hunch; iron is one of the few nutrients where too much is genuinely harmful, and low energy in a child has many possible causes. **Liquid iron can stain teeth**, so rinse or brush straight after. Do not let a child drink from the bottle — use the measuring cap, both for dosing and to keep the contents from spoiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSalus Floradix KIDS Liquid Iron and Vitamin Formula Features and Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10mg Iron Per 15ml Dose\u003c\/strong\u003e — Iron (II) gluconate, a gentler form than the iron salts that cause stomach upset.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelps Prevent Iron Deficiency Anemia\u003c\/strong\u003e — And the tiredness and fatigue that come with it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin C for Absorption\u003c\/strong\u003e — 20 mg included in every dose, since vitamin C markedly improves iron uptake.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive B Vitamins\u003c\/strong\u003e — Niacin, thiamine, riboflavin, B6 and B12 alongside the iron.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHerbal Extract and Fruit Juice Base\u003c\/strong\u003e — Not a syrup — built on the Salus liquid method.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGluten and Lactose Free\u003c\/strong\u003e — Suitable for children avoiding either.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Alcohol or Chemical Preservatives\u003c\/strong\u003e — Which is why it needs refrigerating once opened.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-section\" id=\"faq-salus-floradix-kids-liquid-iron-formula-250ml\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ What is Salus Floradix KIDS?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eA liquid iron and vitamin formula for children 1 to 13 years, containing 10 mg iron per 15 ml with vitamin C and five B vitamins in a herbal and fruit juice base. 250 ml.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ How much should my child take?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eChildren and adolescents 1 to 13 years: 15 ml once daily with food, a few hours before or after other medications or natural health products.
