1 Tired of being tired? Floradix and Floravital for more Energy and Vitality SUITABLE FOR VEGETARIANS, GMO FREE, FREE FROM ALCOHOL, PRESERVATIVES, ARTIFICIAL FLAVOURINGS AND COLOURINGS.

2 Helping maintain the health and vitality of your family Good health and wellbeing are vital if we are to enjoy life to the full. Normally we can expect to maintain our vitality through a balanced lifestyle that includes healthy food, plenty of exercise and adequate rest. However, there are times when our reserves run low due to the stresses and strains of daily life, lack of sleep and regular exercise, or because sometimes we may not eat a balanced diet containing the vitamins, minerals and nutrients we need. Floradix or Floravital The ideal supplement to maintain your feel good factor! That s when Floradix or Floravital can be an ideal supplement, helping to maintain vitality and wellbeing. Floradix and Floravital contain delicious herbs, fruit juice concentrates and also iron (II), B vitamins B1, B2, B6 and B12 (important elements in blood formation) plus vitamin C. Taken just twice a day, Floradix or Floravital can protect the health of your family, from young children to expectant mothers and elderly people.

3 Expectant and recent mothers Pregnancy takes huge amounts of energy from a woman s body, as does breast-feeding and motherhood, so demands on iron and vitamin reserves can be particularly high. Floradix or Floravital make an ideal iron and vitamin supplement. Who should take Floradix or Floravital? The gentle, tasty herbal and fruit juice formula makes Floradix and Floravital ideal for the whole family but in particular, the following groups of people will especially benefit: Women and girls Women and girls of child-bearing age have great demands made on their bodies and iron reserves through hormonal changes, menstruation and sheer hard work! Often, there isn t time to eat properly, which can result in a feeling of tiredness and being run-down. That s when Floradix or Floravital can really help! Children and adolescents The physical and intellectual growth of children consumes the body s iron rapidly and, given the unsuitable foods that young people often eat these days an iron supplement can be a very sensible safeguard for good health. Slimmers and vegetarians Slimmers who follow a strict diet may not eat sufficient of the right foods to maintain their iron and vitamin levels, so Floradix or Floravital can be useful in making up the shortfall. (Continued on back panel)

4 Floradix comes in both liquid and tablet form, and is also available in a yeast and gluten-free version, called Floravital, which is suitable for vegans. What makes Floradix and Floravital so special? They contain iron gluconate in liquid form which is very easily absorbed by the body. Herbal extracts help maintain healthy digestion and together with vitamin C support the absorption of all nutrients. They are free from alcohol, animal derivatives, synthetic additives, chemical preservatives, colourings, nuts and lactose. They are particularly beneficial for pregnant and breastfeeding women and ideal for vegetarians. Floradix and Floravital contain the following: Iron Supporting the body s immune system, iron also enables red blood cells to transport oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. Oxygen allows tissue cells to use the energy generated from food. Since red blood cells don t reproduce themselves, iron is vital for their regeneration, whilst also ensuring the proper function of the heart, liver, gastro-intestinal system and skeletal muscle. The body s iron comes entirely from food and is derived from meat, fish, fruit, nuts and vegetables. However, not all iron that enters the body is absorbed and medical experts agree that most of us don t take in enough iron which is why Floradix or Floravital can be so helpful! Iron absorption rates can be improved by the consumption of vitamin C, found in fresh fruit and vegetables. However, iron absorption can be hindered by too much processed bran, milk, black tea and coffee. Too much vitamin E can also reduce iron absorption. Boosts your body s energy levels 100% natural ingredients

5 Beneficial herbal extracts Carefully selected herbal extracts from nettle, fennel, quitch roots and other plants help maintain a healthy digestion that is important for the absorption of iron. Together with the fruit juice concentrates, these herbs counteract digestive problems often associated with other iron preparations. Vitamin B1 Helps the process of generating energy from food, while maintaining the nervous and digestive systems. Vitamin B2 Ensures energy release from food and helps production and repair of body tissues. Important for healthy hair, eyes and nails. Vitamin B6 Helps maintain healthy skin, nerves and muscles. Assists production of antibodies and hormones. Vitamin B12 Needed for the formation of red blood cells and for maintaining a healthy nervous system. Vitamin C An antioxidant vitamin that assists iron absorption and supports the body s functioning. Helps maintain healthy gums, teeth, skin, and blood vessels. For further information: redseal.co.nz

6 The elderly As many as one in four elderly people suffers from deficiency of iron in the blood, as well as a declining interest in food. Therefore it s particularly important that older people should ensure a regular intake of iron and vitamins, particularly during convalescence from illness. Sportsmen and sportswomen Athletes make great demands on their bodies so they need extra iron and vitamins. Even those of us who take less demanding levels of exercise require more nutrients to maintain our high energy levels. Recommended daily dose Adults: 10ml twice daily Children aged 1-5 years: 5ml once daily Children aged 6-12 years: 10ml once daily Floradix contains 15mg iron per 20ml (125% RDA*) Floravital contains 19mg iron per 20ml (158% RDA*) During preganancy it may be necessary to increase the daily dose. However, this should be discussed with your GP or midwife and only be done under medical supervision. *RDA = NZ Recommended Daily Allowance Red Seal Natural Health Ltd PO Box 19046, Avondale 1746 Auckland, New Zealand marketing@redseal.co.nz redseal.co.nz
