Directions of Use
Take Floradix Tablets in the following ways:
- Adults and children over 12 years: 1 tablet, twice daily

It is best to take iron on an empty stomach to ensure full absorption so ideally 30 minutes before food or a couple of hours after. Avoid taking iron supplements with tea, coffee or milk as they can inhibit the absorption. Drinking orange juice or any other fruit juice together with iron supplements can actually help to increase the iron absorption due to the vitamin C content.

- Always read the product directions before use and do not exceed the recommended intake.
- Food Supplements should not be taken as an alternative to a balanced diet.
- Keep out of reach of children. .
