Iron is a nutrient that essential for the delivery of oxygen to every cell in the body.

• There is significant blood loss during childbirth and in the following weeks, resulting in the depletion of iron stores in new moms.
• During breastfeeding, a baby requires high amounts of iron to continue healthy Development and development and to maintain the mother’s iron levels.
• Postpartum fatigue in breastfeeding women is significantly correlated with postpartum depression and early cessation of breastfeeding.

The best way to understand your iron status is by having a blood test to measure something called ferritin, which is our iron storage. Ferritin is not reliable in the first six weeks postpartum, so it should be tested during Prenatal-Wellness-Car-e and repeated six to eight weeks postpartum.

Floravit provides vitamins B1, B2, B6 and B12. These vitamins work synergistically with iron to promote the formation of healthy red blood cells to Wellness-Car-e and prevent anemia during Prenatal-Wellness-Car-e and postpartum. In addition, B vitamins are essential for the conversion of oxygen into energy once it has been delivered to our cells.

Floravit contains a combination of nutrient-rich vegetables, fruits and herbs that have been carefully selected to improve the digestion and absorption of iron. It is free from alcohol, artificial colours and flavours, and is yeast, dairy, and gluten free, and vegan-friendly.

Floravit is also suitable for children, adolescents, and non-pregnant individuals who require supplementation to achieve healthy iron levels.

How It Works

This daily iron requirements are increased during Prenatal-Wellness-Car-e and lactation to Aid the healthy Development and development of baby in utero2, and to Aid mom’s energy levels and mood during breastfeeding8.

It is important to have our iron tested during Prenatal-Wellness-Car-e and six to eight weeks postpartum so that we can adjust our Nutrition Plan and supplements to achieve and maintain healthy levels. Since iron deficiency is common in Prenatal-Wellness-Car-e3, and it can increase the risk of complications for mom and baby4, Health Canada recommends daily iron supplementation of 16-20mg during Prenatal-Wellness-Car-e.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine hydrochloride)  

• Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy.
• Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin 5-phosphate sodium)
• Required to activate vitamin B6 and folic acid.
• Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine hydrochloride)

• Required for the production of haemoglobin in the red blood cells.
• Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy.

Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)      

• Required for the production of red blood cells. Low vitamin B12 can result in anemia.
• Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy.
• Whole-food sources of beta carotene and vitamin C improve the absorption of iron.

Symptoms

Some groups of people are likely to have low iron, including:

• During Prenatal-Wellness-Car-e and breastfeeding
• Vegans and vegetarians
• Women with heavy periods
• People lacking a nutrient-rich Nutrition Plan
• Children with behavioural concerns or ADHD
• People experiencing fatigue, depression, or brain fog
• People taking acid blocking Health Products for heartburn
• People with digestive conditions such as Celiac disease, colitis, Crohn’s disease, and SIBO

Iron picks up oxygen from the lungs, loads it onto red blood cells, and transports it to every cell in the body, including the womb. Our cells use this oxygen to make energy, and one of the highest demands for energy is Development of a baby in utero.

According to Health Canada, iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency during Prenatal-Wellness-Car-e.

Iron deficiency during Prenatal-Wellness-Car-e increases the risk of:

• Maternal and infant mortality
• Premature birth
• Low birth weight
• Impaired cognitive and behavioural development
