GET STRONG FOR SUMMER

Life is busy and trying to juggle family and work can leave you feeling exhausted and run-down…especially if you are iron deficient. Floradix is a low-dose supplement designed to prevent and treat iron deficien-cy and has been helping women reclaim their energy and vitality for over 60 years.

Reference1. McLean E, Cogswell M, Egli I, et al. Worldwide prevalence of anaemia, WHO Vitamin and Mineral Surveillance Information System, 1993-2005. Public Health Nutrition 2009; 12(4): 444-54.

25%

Iron deficiency affects 20% to 25% of the world population,1 with iron-deficiency anemia the most common type of anemia.

We all need iron for energy.Women are especially prone to iron deficiency due to periods, pregnancy, and breast-feeding. In fact, menstruation is the main reason women are 10 times more likely than men to suffer from low iron levels. Just a few consecutive heavy periods can cause iron losses that are difficult to reverse without supplementation.

Is iron missing in your diet?If your diet hasn’t been giving you the recommended 18 mg of iron a day and you’re feeling tired and run-down, Floradix® Liquid Iron + Herbs could be the simple solution. In addition to iron, Floradix’s gentle formula contains vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, as well as vitamin C. Vitamin C helps the body absorb the form of iron found in fruits and vegetables, like those found in Floradix’s liquid base.

Iron-deficiencysymptom checklist:Are you iron-deficient?

� Do you often feel weak? � Do you look pale, lack appetite, or feel tired? � Are you often cold or chilly? � Do you have brittle hair and nails? � Are you vegetarian?

The more questions you answered “yes” to, the higher your risk of being iron deficient.
