Anybody use this? I have been taking a regular multi vitamin in a pill form and worry that it is not being absorbed enough (I have a problem with absorbtion) so i was thinking that a liquid would be more absorbable. Here is what it says about it:
Floradix Liquid Iron & Vitamin Formula from Salus Haus 250ml
Containing vitamins, herbal extract and fruit concentrates. A womens first choice for health,energy and vitality. Contains an easily assimilated form of organic iron, herb extracts, fruit juices, vitamins C & B complex.

Take 2 tsp (10ml) twice daily, before morning and evening meals.
Children between 1 and 5 years: 1 tsp (5ml) daily.
Children between 6 and 12 years: 2 tsp (10ml) daily.
Ingredients
Aqueous extract (54%) from carrots, nettles, spinach, quitch roots, angelica roots, fennel, ocean kelp, African mallow, blossom and orange peel, fruit concentrates (29%) of pears, grape,blackcurrant juice,water,blackberry,cherry,orange,red beet,lemon,carob extract, apple.aqueous yeast extract,honey, Aqueous rosehip soft extract containing 4% vit C, iron(asFerrous glucomate),Wheat germ extract, vitamin B6 ,vitamin B12,maltodextrin,Thiamin(thiamine HCL), riboflavin(as riboflavin sodium phosphate),vitamin C as ascorbic acid
Nutritional Information
10ml of Floradix typically provides:
Energy 41.95kJ/10.12kcal, Protein trace, Fat not detectable, Carbohydrate 2.44g, Thiamin 1.0mg (71% RDA), Riboflavin 0.9mg (56% RDA), Vitamin B6 0.5mg (25% RDA), Vitamin B12 0.6µg (60% RDA), Iron 7.5mg (54% RDA)
RDA = EC Recommended Daily Allowance
I kinda liked the way that it didn't contatin 100% of the RDA like my pill does as I eat reasonably well and get many nutrients from food. But iron and B vitamins I can always use a boost on.
I know it has honey and therefore not vegan (I think they make a vegan one but it has less ingredients and I can't recall the name just yet) but what do you think?
Would you take it?
