- Each capsule contains a high potency of B complex vitamins
- Bottled in environmentally-friendly recyclable amber glass
- In vegetarian capsules
Key Benefits
- Helps normal growth and development
- Assists the body in metabolizing carbohydrates, proteins and fats

Superior Antioxidant Protection
Flora’s unique formula, Beyond Grape Seed®, combines Dr. Jack Masquelier’s Original OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins) with bioflavonoids from bilberries and cranberries.
In 1948 in France, Dr. Masquelier isolated the powerful antioxidants now known as OPCs. He first derived them from the peanut, then from pine bark and later from grape seeds. Grape seeds are rich in antioxidants that can be used to help neutralize free radicals, which may impair the body’s cells, tissues and organs.
Free radical oxidation is caused by many factors including environmental pollution, food additives, high-fat diets, excessive alcohol, smoking and passive smoke inhalation, burns, infections, stress, radiation and nutrient deficiencies. Because cell damage is at the root of most health problems and aging disorders, protecting ourselves from free-radical activity is important for increasing the likelihood of a long and healthy life.

Bone Loss Begins in Your 30s
Thin, fragile bones are not just a concern for the elderly, but for young people as well. Bone loss actually begins around age 30. That’s why you should start strengthening your bones now. Salus® Calcium Magnesium is a trusted bone supplement designed to support everyone’s need for a highly absorbable tonic that ensures calcium goes where it’s needed—in the bones, instead of soft tissue.
Salus® minerals are already dissolved in liquid form, promoting maximum absorption for stronger, healthier bones. Small changes can make a big difference. Salus® Calcium Magnesium, combined with a fun exercise regime and a well-rounded diet of mineral-rich foods, gives you the tools you need to build and maintain great bones—for a lifetime.
Easy lifestyle ideas for strong bones:
- Eat fresh, whole foods high in calcium and magnesium: dark leafy vegetables, sesame seeds, chickpeas, broccoli and yogurt
- Limit soft drinks, caffeine, sugar, salt and processed foods as they increase mineral loss from the body
- Participate in strength-training and weight-bearing (walking, tennis, dancing, running, yoga) exercises at least 3 times a week
NPN claims
- A factor in the maintenance of good health
- Helps in the normal development and maintenance of bones and teeth
- Calcium intake, when combined with sufficient Vitamin D, a healthy diet and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis
- Helps the body to metabolize proteins, fats, and carbohydrates
- Helps to maintain proper muscle function
Benefits
- Salus® Calcium Magnesium is a factor in maintaining good health and supports the calcium and magnesium needs of men, women and children
- Calcium gluconate and calcium lactate are highly soluble organic compounds of calcium suitable for use in liquid solutions and are rapidly absorbed throughout the digestive tract
- Calcium gluconate and lactate are able to utilize both types of absorption sites in the small intestine - active transport sites located at the beginning of the small intestine and passive diffusion sites located in the more alkaline environment at the end of the small intestine
- A higher magnesium to calcium ratio helps lessen the risk of calcification problems
- Easy-to-swallow liquid format – No need to swallow pills!
- Safe low dose for daily, long-term use
Features
- Salus® Calcium Magnesium is a scientifically prepared liquid solution that allows approximately 98% of the elemental calcium and magnesium to be absorbed by the body – unlike minerals in tablet or capsule form which are less bioavailable and need to first be broken down in the digestive tract
- Each daily dose of 2 tbsp (30 ml) provides: 155 mg of elemental calcium (from 1474 mg of compound calcium gluconate and calcium lactate), 186 mg of elemental magnesium (from 3090 mg of compound magnesium gluconate and magnesium citrate), 3.5 mg of elemental zinc and 204 I.U. of vitamin D

ASSISTS WITH:
- Providing EFAs*
- Increasing energy, stamina, metabolism*
- Skin irritations*
Flax-O-Mega® capsules are cold-pressed from certified organic flax seeds to provide the Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) required for optimal health.
Omega-3 and omega-6 EFAs are necessary for the normal functioning of every cell, tissue, gland and organ. Since the body cannot make EFAs on its own, they must come from foods or dietary supplements.
Because omega-6s are found in a wide variety of foods, most people consume adequate amounts of this essential fatty acid. In fact, many people overindulge in foods that contain omega-6s. These items include polyunsaturated vegetable oils made from safflower, sunflower, soybean, sesame, pumpkin, wheat germ, corn, cottonseed, walnut and wheat germ. Seeds and nuts are rich in omega-6s and so are most meats, fast foods and snack foods.
Omega-3s are more likely to be lacking in the average person’s diet, because there are relatively few foods that contain these important foundational fats. Dietary sources include oils from fish as well as some plants and nuts. Omega-3s are found in oil from halibut, salmon, sardines, mackerel and tuna. Vegetable oils, such as soybean, olive, canola and flax seed contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid.
Flax oil is one of the richest sources of omega-3s. It is also less expensive and does not contain environmental toxins as is often the case with fish.
The effects of Omega-3 deficiency include:
- Low energy
- Weakness
- Impaired vision and learning
- Poor motor coordination
- Tingling sensation in limbs
- Behavioral changes
- High serum triglycerides; high blood pressure; sticky platelets (tendency to form clots in blood vessels)
- Water retention (edema) due to inflammation and kidney deterioration
- Problems associated with skin, joints, digestion, connective tissue, kidneys and other glands, organs and tissues
- Weakened immune response
- Mental deterioration
- Low metabolic rate
- Weight gain
USEFUL FOR:
- Exerting a positive influence on skin irritations.*
- Increasing energy levels, metabolism and stamina.*
- Providing required levels of omega-3 EFAs, including during pregnancy and nursing for the optimal growth and development of children.*

Flora Floradix® Formula for Low Iron
$ 20.58
Visit product page →-
Tired? You may be Iron Deficient!
Why do so many of us constantly feel tired or fatigued? Perhaps the reason is iron deficiency, the most prevalent nutrient deficiency worldwide. Iron deficiency is the leading cause of fatigue among women between the time of menstruation and menopause. It is estimated that up to 26% of menstruating women are iron deficient.
Women of childbearing age and adolescent girls need to regularly replace the iron that is eliminated through monthly blood loss. The elderly are also at risk because they no longer absorb iron from foods as efficiently as when they were younger. Vegetarians and those who eat little or no red meat may also be iron deficient. Endurance athletes and those who exercise regularly lose iron through perspiration, putting them at risk for deficiency and decreased endurance.
Floradix® is a liquid iron supplement that is specially formulated for easy absorption and assimilation. In fact, over 98% of the iron is available for quick potential absorption. The daily use of Floradix® helps normalize low iron levels to boost energy, vitality and optimal health.
Iron is an essential element for the body. It combines with copper and protein to make hemoglobin, a major component of red blood cells which transports oxygen from the lungs to all the tissues of the body. Iron is also needed throughout the body for adenosine triphosphate production (ATP), which is required for cellular energy and proper cell function. When iron is low, ATP production drops and energy levels decrease as a result.
The signs and symptoms of iron deficiency include: Fatigue, weakness, pale skin, dark circles under the eyes, brittle hair and nails, shortness of breath and cold hands and feet.
