WHO SHOULD TAKE FLORADIX
OR FLORAVITAL?
The gentle, tasty herbal and fruit juice formula makes
Floradix and Floravital ideal for the whole family - but
in particular, the following groups of people will
especially benefit:
WOMEN AND GIRLS
Women and girls of child-bearing
age have great demands made on
their bodies and iron reserves through
hormonal changes, menstruation - and
sheer hard work! Often, there isn’t
time to eat properly, which can
result in a feeling of tiredness and
being run-down. That’s when Floradix
or Floravital can really help!
EXPECTANT AND RECENT
MOTHERS
Pregnancy takes huge amounts
of energy from a woman’s body,
as does breast-feeding and
motherhood, so demands on
iron and vitamin reserves can be
particularly high. Floradix or
Floravital make an ideal iron and
vitamin supplement.
ELDERLY PEOPLE
As many as one in four elderly people suffer
from a shortage of iron in the blood, as well as
a declining interest in food, so it’s particularly
important that older people should ensure a
regular intake of iron and vitamins, particularly
during convalescence from illness.

SPORTSMEN AND WOMEN
Athletes make great demands on their bodies so they
need extra iron and vitamins. Even those of us who take
less demanding levels of exercise require more nutrients
to maintain our high energy levels.

Recommended
Daily Allowance
CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
The physical and intellectual growth of children
consumes the body’s iron rapidly - and, given the
unsuitable foods that young people often eat these
days - an iron supplement can be a very sensible
safeguard for good health.
SLIMMERS AND VEGETARIANS
Slimmers who follow a strict diet may not eat sufficient
of the right foods to maintain their iron and vitamin
levels, so Floradix or Floravital can be useful in making
up the shortfall.
Floradix and Floravital are available from health food stores,
Holland & Barrett and pharmacies nationwide.

HELPING TO MAINTAIN THE HEALTH AND
VITALITY OF YOUR FAMILY
Good health and well being are vital if we are to
enjoy life to the full - and normally, we can expect
to maintain our vitality through a balanced lifestyle
which includes healthy food, plenty of exercise and
lots of rest.
• Herbal extracts help maintain healthy digestion and
together with vitamin C support the absorption of
all nutrients.
• They are free from alcohol, animal derivatives, synthetic
additives, chemical preservatives, colourings, nuts and
lactose.
• They are particularly beneficial for pregnant and breastfeeding women and ideal for vegetarians.
However, there are times when our reserves run low
- because of the stresses and strains of daily life,
through lack of sleep and regular exercise, or
because sometimes we may not eat a balanced diet
which contains the vitamins, minerals and nutrients
we need.
FLORADIX OR FLORAVITAL - THE IDEAL
SUPPLEMENT TO MAINTAIN YOUR
FEELGOOD FACTOR!
That’s when Floradix or
Floravital can be an ideal
supplement, helping to
maintain vitality and allround well being.
Floradix and Floravital contain
delicious herbs and fruit juice
concentrates and also iron (II),
B vitamins B1, B2, B6 and B12
(important elements in blood
formation) plus vitamin C.
Taken just twice a day, Floradix or Floravital can
protect the health of the whole family, from young
children to expectant mothers and elderly people.
Beneficial Herbal Extracts
Carefully selected herbal extracts from nettle, fennel,
quitch roots and other plants help maintain a healthy
digestion which is very important for the absorption of
iron. Together with the fruit juice concentrates these
herbs counteract digestive problems often associated
with other iron preparations.
Vitamin B1
Helps the process of generating
energy from food, whilst
maintaining the nervous and
digestive systems.
Vitamin B2
Ensures energy release from
food and helps production and
repair of body tissues. Important
for healthy hair, eyes and nails.
Vitamin B6
FLORADIX AND
FLORAVITAL CONTAIN
THE FOLLOWING:
Helps maintain healthy skin,
nerves and muscles. Assists
production of antibodies and
hormones.
Iron
Supporting the body’s immune system, iron also enables
red blood cells to transport oxygen from the lungs to all
parts of the body. Oxygen allows tissue cells to use the
energy generated from food. Since red blood cells don’t
reproduce themselves, iron is vital for their regeneration,
whilst also ensuring the proper function of the heart,
liver, gastro-intestinal system and skeletal muscle.
The body’s iron comes entirely from food and is derived
from meat, fish, fruit, nuts and vegetables. However, not
all iron that enters the body is absorbed - and medical
experts agree that most of us don’t take in enough iron which is why Floradix or Floravital can be so helpful!
Iron absorption rates can be improved by the
consumption of vitamin C, found in fresh fruit and
vegetables. However iron absorption can be hindered by
too much processed bran, milk, black tea and coffee. Too
much vitamin E can also reduce iron absorption.
Vitamin B12
Needed for the formation of red
blood cells and in maintaining a healthy nervous system.
Vitamin C
An antioxidant vitamin that assists iron absorption and
supports the body’s mechanism. Helps maintain healthy
gums, teeth, skin, and blood vessels.
