Floradix Iron + Herbs
Brand: Floradix · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Floradix Iron + Herbs is a dietary supplement, and based on the data provided, we can only speak to one of its potential ingredients: calcium. Data for other ingredients is not available. If this product contains calcium, it may support bone health, but you should be aware of important risks and interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into bone tissue, which is essential for maintaining bone density. Calcium also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific data for Floradix Iron + Herbs is not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Before taking this product, check with your healthcare provider, especially if you take medications. Calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Without complete ingredient data for this specific product, we cannot provide a full recommendation. Data not available for other claimed ingredients.
