Anemic...Floradix?

MrsSmith9411 · January 2013

I just found out Ive become anemic...boo. The iron supplement my doctor gave me is 90mg!! Holy cow! Im already constipated, I dont need to make it worse! So, Im trying to add foods high in iron to my diet but I still dont think its enough. I read about Floradix and wondered if anyone else is taking it or has taken it? Yay or nay? Does it constipate you? Any other advice? Thanks!!!!

I am anemic and have been taking Floradix for the past 2 months. It does not constipate u that is why my doctor prescribed it rather than iron pills. I have been feeling much better since i started taking it daily.

I am also anemic and have been taking Floradix. It works great! No constipation at all and I feel great since I have been using it. It is pretty expensive but it does work. Just try to have a glass of OJ ready cause it doesn't taste that great.

I don't take that drug; the name brand of what I take is palafer and it has 300mg. Knock on wood, I've never had problems taking my iron. I do suggest taking it before bed; that way if it were going to upset my tummy, sleep through it.

Floradix is wonderful!

It's a food form iron so it absorbs really well and is highly digestible. It's a non-constipating form of iron and you can even take it on an empty stomach. I really dont think it tastes THAT bad...its like a sweet juice but with an iron-y taste. You can water it down or mix with a little juice if you need to
