Guest guest Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 i can vouch for floradix (http://www.florahealth.com/flora/home/usa/products/R64771.asp?CategoryID=93 & Ima\ geFlag=0#R64771) ....it's a wonderful iron supplement. i worked in health food stores for several years and this product was a big seller and beneficial to many people, esp. if they couldn't tolerate iron in a pill form. but, you should always check with your doctor before taking an iron supplement...too much iron is toxic and can cause cancer. susie --- Meg <itszen4me wrote: > I take a liquid iron supplement called flouridix and > while it tastes > NASTY & is expensive it does the trick every time > and is made from > plants so it doesn't have the side effects of > man-made iron.
