Floradix is a unique blend of iron, brewer's yeast, food and herbsTo make Floradix, iron gluconate, one of the most absorbable forms of iron, is fed to brewer's yeast. The iron is incorporated into the yeast's cell wall, further enhancing its absorption. Rosehips, B vitamins and vitamin C are added to aid absorption and provide the building blocks for the production of red blood cells. Herbs and whole food concentrates rich in iron (spinach, nettles and kelp) and digestive herbs (to stimulate digestive enzymes) are also part of this unique formulation.Research has shown that Floradix is effective against iron deficiencyA study was conducted in 2002, examining the effects of Floradix on irondeficient women between the ages of 18 and 65. Floradix was found to be effective at returning iron stores to normal over a 16-week period.
