I believe it's supposed to be taken twice a day although I only take one dose.

Be patient!

Sorry, don't know the answer to that!

As your ferritin levels aren't too low it shouldn't take too long. I'm on floradix too (started over 2 weeks ago) but my levels are very low (7)so I am not feeling the difference yet. I have taken floradix in the past when my levels weren't that low but was anemic and it took about 3 or 4 weeks for me to start feeling better again. Hang in there...hope you feel better soon.

Don't forget to take a good dose of vit c with it. It helped my absorption no end.

Hi Best to take with half tablet of vit c, for absorption. it takes 3-4 months, then retest, likely to always need it.

Hi I have a problem with absorption, there is one test that shows that a %, GP`s do not always do it, go for a single cheaper test!My Endo said to always take it with the Vit C ie at the same time It does not show that on the packet. Also as you know most of them not near food, although some are, tea and coffee at the time a no.It will start to go up but takes 3-4 m months to be completely in the system. Then the blood test shows if enough. if % low then you need a lot extra, what ever the results. Then annual tests.

I hope this helps,

Jackie
