Floradix vs iron supplements before surgery

M
mblumcmaMar 4, 2025

Hi, I'm wondering if there is any advantage of taking Floradix over regular iron supplements prior to surgery. I'm having Lipo 360 and BBL. My iron levels now are perfect. Hemoglobin is 13.5 and Hematocrit is 40.9 plus I will be taking a good multi vitamin. I'm 5'1" and 160 pounds.
