Floradix Iron & Herbs Liq. This time tested, non-constipating & well-known liquid iron and vitamin formula helps prevent iron deficiency and will greatly increase your energy, overall health and well being.Iron is essential for hemoglobin formation and for the effective circulation of oxygen throughout the body. Without adequate levels of iron in the blood,one will be left feeling lethargic and tired.Women are more likely to suffer from anemia and low blood-iron because menstruation,pregnancy and breastfeeding tax their iron stores. Vegetarians are at higher risk of developing iron deficiency and so are those who eat little red meat.However, many people are eating less meat due to the high fat content and fear of mad cow disease.In the case of iron,even dietary intake often is insufficient to supply the body's daily requirements. Iron is not easily absorbed,and there is even less available for absorption if digestion and food breakdown is reduced through stress,poor enzyme production or age.Older people often require a supplement,as their bodies less efficiently absorb nutrients.This makes the need for a high quality iron supplement clear.
