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.

A Gentle and Effective Laxative
Floralax® II is a unique laxative formula with three natural sources of high quality fibre rolled into one: flax seeds, psyllium husks and oat bran.
One of the main ingredients in Floralax® II is psyllium, which is 60% to 70% soluble fibre. When ingested with the proper amount of water or juice, psyllium can swell up to 100 times its original volume, providing bulk to promote optimum elimination through the colon. In this bulk form, psyllium acts as a sponge that absorbs intestinal toxins and brings gentle relief to those experiencing occasional constipation.
Defatted flax seeds are utilized because they swell up with water, providing additional mucilage, which helps keep the fecal matter soft. Oat bran offers a third source of fibre and is extremely easy to digest. First, the gel from the psyllium husks and flax seeds encourage activity to begin in the small intestine and then the oat bran works as a broom to sweep out the large intestine. For this reason, Floralax® II is an integral part of a whole-body detoxification or cleansing program such as the Flor•Essence® 7-Day Purification Program.

Silica - The Beauty Mineral
Silica helps rejuvenate the collagen in your system and reverse some of the effects of aging by maintaining the elasticity and suppleness of the skin. Silica is needed for the continuous formation of collagen for the maintenance of healthy bones, tooth enamel, cartilage, blood vessels, tendons, ligaments and joints.
Florasil® is an organic vegetal silica supplement that helps provide the silica you need. A unique product is plant-based, made from the spring horsetail plant, Florasil® is the only vegetal silica supplement that is bonded with bioflavonoids, which help the silica make its way through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream.
Florasil® is produced according to Dr. Louis Kervran's patented extraction method, whereby organic vegetal silica is extracted from spring horsetail, using water instead of chemicals. Only silica prepared in this gentle manner yields a highly bioavailable silicate in the form of orthosilicic acid.
This extraction method not only preserves the bioflavonoids necessary for the effective absorption of silica, but it ensures the retention of a spectrum of naturally occurring beneficial minerals including calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, boron, iron and phosphorus.

Protect your Eyes from Within!*
Shakespeare once wrote that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Consider all the impressions we receive through our eyes, and how much our eyes reveal about us. Most people believe that the only avenue for those with vision problems is corrective lenses, laser surgery or drugs. Sight is one of our most precious senses – fortunately there are nutrients and herbs that can play a valuable role in supporting the health of our eyes.*
Lutein and zeaxanthin are the two major carotenoid pigments in the human macula and retina. The macula is a part of the eye found in the center of the retina, directly behind the lens. It’s a tiny area composed of millions of cells that help produce the vision needed to read and to see objects clearly.
Lutein is very important to human health, but your body cannot manufacture it on its own. Consuming foods (ie. spinach, kale, broccoli, corn) and taking dietary supplements that contain it is the only way for the body to get lutein, which is needed by the eyes, skin, blood serum, brain, cervix and breast.*
Within the eye, lutein is highly concentrated in the macular region and filters out more than 90% of the blue wavelengths of light from the visible-light spectrum. Blue light, whether from sunlight or indoor lighting, can lead to oxidative stress and free radical damage in the eyes.
In regards to the skin, lutein is deposited in the outer and inner dermal layers providing antioxidant protection against exposure to the sun and environmental pollutants.
Used in Herbal Medicine:
- To help slow the progression of disorders of the eye, such as diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy, and macular degenration.
- To help relieve symptoms related to non-complicated chronic venous insufficiency (CIV), such as sensation of swelling, heaviness and tingling of the legs.
- Provides antioxidants for the maintenance of good health.
Bilberry helps to improve vision in near-sighted adults.
Key Features
- FloraVision® provides 18 mg of lutein from marigold flower (standardized to 18 mg of lutein and 0.7 mg of zeaxanthin) as well as 10 mg of bilberry fruit extract (standardized to 25% anthocyanidins) in a whole food base of certified organic carrot powder.
- Offers a powerful antioxidant complex including two key carotenoid pigments.
- Encapsulated in easily digested vegetarian capsules.
- Packaged in environmentally-friendly amber glass bottles.
- Backed by clinical research.
Key Benefits
- Excellent for supplementing the diet to support vision health*
- Antioxidants for support of healthy skin*
RESEARCH FINDINGS:
The LAST (Lutein Antioxidant Supplementation Trial) study was a 2004, 12-month, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled trial that used FloraGlo®lutein.
A randomized, placebo-controlled human clinical trial in Europe found that 10 mg of FloraGlo® lutein per day for 12 weeks improved skin hydration and skin elasticity, and decreased skin lipid peroxidation.(1)*

Bitters for Better Digestion
We all love to eat, but what we dislike is that sluggish feeling and uncomfortable sense of fullness that often comes in the aftermath of a heavy meal. A common tradition in Europe, bitters have been cherished for centuries to help make the eating experience more enjoyable. Many of the gastro-intestinal problems people experience today were very rare among our ancestors. It is actually the bitter taste in the mouth that triggers the optimal functioning of our digestive process. The liver benefits from the stimulation of bitter herbs to help it carry out its vitally important activities. The combination of stimulating herbs and bitter food extracts makes Gallexier® Herbal Bitters an ideal complement to a hearty meal.

- Helps to enhance cognitive function and memory in an aging population.
- Also supports peripheral circulation, which is blood flow that reaches the upper and lower extremities of the body and the surface of the skin.
Ginkgo biloba seems to improve blood circulation, which helps the brain, eyes, ears, and legs function better. It may slow down Alzheimer’s disease by interfering with changes in the brain that interfere with thinking. By improving blood circulation, Ginkgo Biloba improves conditions including memory loss, headache, ringing in the ears,vertigo, difficulty concentrating, mood disturbances, and hearing disorders. Some people use it for other problems related to poor blood flow in the body, including leg pain when walking (claudication), and Raynaud’s syndrome (a painful response to cold, especially in the fingers and toes).
