Description

Iron is a nutrient that essential for the delivery of oxygen to every cell in the body.

Think of iron like a courier, and oxygen like the packages we order online. The courier picks up packages from a distribution centre, loads it onto trucks, and transports it to our homes. If there are not enough couriers working to keep up with the demand for deliveries, we do not receive our packages on time.

In the same way, iron picks up oxygen from the lungs, loads it onto red blood cells, and transports it to every cell in the body. Once our cells receive oxygen, they use it to make the fuel that allows our bodies to function. If we do not have enough iron to carry oxygen to our cells, we are not able to make energy, and we feel tired.

Low iron can cause more than just fatigue. When our cells are deprived of oxygen, every action in the body is affected, from our brain to our toes. This is why low iron can cause wounds to heal slowly, muscle weakness, difficulty with concentration and memory, depression, headaches, hair loss, and weaken our immune system¹. Iron deficiency also results in poor cognitive development, behavioural concerns, and ADHD in children².

The best way to understand your iron status is by having a blood test to measure something called ferritin, which is our iron storage. The tricky part about this test is that in Canada, “normal” ferritin in adults is defined as falling within the range of 5-272 ug/L. Since this is a wide range, you can imagine that someone with a ferritin of 7 ug/L would feel very different from someone with a ferritin level of 200 ug/L.

In fact, research shows that iron supplementation can be beneficial for people experiencing fatigue, even in cases where ferritin is not low enough to cause anemia³. Dr. Hilary suggests aiming for a ferritin of 70-100 ug/L so that the body has enough iron to function in an optimal way.

Some groups of people are likely to have low iron, including:

Vegans and vegetarians¹
Women with heavy periods⁴
During pregnancy and breastfeeding¹
People lacking a nutrient-rich diet¹
Children with ADHD²
People experiencing fatigue, depression, or brain fog³
People taking acid blocking medications for heartburn¹
People with digestive conditions such as Celiac disease, colitis, Crohn’s disease, and SIBO⁵

Floradix Tablets promote the formation of healthy red blood cells. The iron is provided in a form called ferrous gluconate, which is effectively absorbed and gentle on our digestion.

Floradix Tablets also contain a blend of B vitamins that work alongside iron to promote the formation of healthy red blood cells. In addition, B vitamins are essential for the conversion of oxygen into energy once it has been delivered to our cells.

FloradixTablets providea synergisticcombination ofherbs and vegetables rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene to improve the absorption of iron, as well as herbs to aid in healthy digestion.

Iron II (Ferrous gluconate)

Easily absorbedand vegan-friendly form of iron⁶.
Gentle on the digestive system, and non-constipating.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid)

Enhances the absorption of iron by binding and then storing it in a form that is more easily absorbed by the body than iron on its own⁷.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine hydrochloride)

Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy⁸.
Individuals who have difficulty absorbing iron or who have a diet low in iron are often also low in B vitamins.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)

Required to activate vitamin B6 and folic acid⁸.
Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy.
Individuals who have difficulty absorbing iron or who have a diet low in iron are often also low in B vitamins.

Vitamin B3 (Nicotinamide)

Boosts energy, improves mood and memory⁸.
Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy.
Individuals who have difficulty absorbing iron or who have a diet low in iron are often also low in B vitamins.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine hydrochloride)

Required for the production of haemoglobin in the red blood cells⁸.
Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy.
Individuals who have difficulty absorbing iron or who have a diet low in iron are often also low in B vitamins.

Folic acid (Folate)

Required for the production of red blood cells. Low folate can result in anemia⁸.
Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy.
Individuals who have difficulty absorbing iron or who have a diet low in iron are often also low in B vitamins.

Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)

Required for the production of red blood cells. Low vitamin B12 can result in anemia⁸.
Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy.
Individuals who have difficulty absorbing iron or who have a diet low in iron are often also low in B vitamins.

Dried extracts of spinach, carrot, bitter fennel, centaury, and rosehips

Vegetable sources of beta carotene and vitamin C to improve the absorption of iron⁷.
Fennel and centaury soothe the stomach and improve digestion.
