Salus Floravit 500Ml

Our daily iron requirements are increased during pregnancy and lactation to support the healthy growth and development of baby in utero², and to support mom’s energy levels and mood during breastfeeding⁸.

It is important to have our iron tested during pregnancy and six to eight weeks postpartum so that we can adjust our diet and supplements to achieve and maintain healthy levels. Since iron deficiency is common in pregnancy³, and it can increase the risk of complications for mom and baby⁴, Health Canada recommends daily iron supplementation of 16-20mg during pregnancy².

Floravit provides the daily recommended dose of iron with a synergistic blend of B vitamins and nutrient-rich food extracts to enhance the absorption, digestion, and effects of iron in the body. Floravit is safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding, gentle on digestion, free from alcohol, artificial colours and flavours, yeast, dairy, and gluten, and it is vegan-friendly.

Floravit is formulated to support the health of both mom and baby during pregnancy and throughout breastfeeding.

Elemental Iron II (Ferrous gluconate)

• Easily absorbed, gentle on the digestive system, and non-constipating¹¹.
• Provides the daily recommended dose of iron during pregnancy to support the healthy growth and development of baby and reduce the risk of complications at birth².
• Replenishes and maintains stores of iron during breastfeeding to reduce fatigue, early cessation of breastfeeding, and postpartum depression⁸.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine hydrochloride)

• Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy¹².

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin 5-phosphate sodium)

• Required to activate vitamin B6 and folic acid¹².
• Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine hydrochloride)

• Required for the production of haemoglobin in the red blood cells¹².
• Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy.

Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)

• Required for the production of red blood cells. Low vitamin B12 can result in anemia¹².
• Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy.
• Whole-food sources of beta carotene and vitamin C improve the absorption of iron¹.
• Fennel and chamomile soothe the stomach and improve digestion.
• Source of healthy antioxidants.

• There is significant blood loss during childbirth and in the following weeks, resulting in the depletion of iron stores in new moms.
• During breastfeeding, a baby requires high amounts of iron to continue healthy growth and development and to maintain the mother’s iron levels.
• Postpartum fatigue in breastfeeding women is significantly correlated with postpartum depression and early cessation of breastfeeding.

The best way to understand your iron status is by having a blood test to measure something called ferritin, which is our iron storage. Ferritin is not reliable in the first six weeks postpartum, so it should be tested during pregnancy and repeated six to eight weeks postpartum.

Floravit provides vitamins B1, B2, B6 and B12. These vitamins work synergistically with iron to promote the formation of healthy red blood cells to treat and prevent anemia during pregnancy and postpartum. In addition, B vitamins are essential for the conversion of oxygen into energy once it has been delivered to our cells¹².

Floravit contains a combination of nutrient-rich vegetables, fruits and herbs that have been carefully selected to improve the digestion and absorption of iron. It is free from alcohol, artificial colours and flavours, and is yeast, dairy, and gluten free, and vegan-friendly.

Floravit is also suitable for children, adolescents, and non-pregnant individuals who require supplementation to achieve healthy iron levels.
