Salus floravit how it works
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.
