Floradix and Sleep

[Guest guest]

A friend's child is taking an iron supplement called Floradix daily, and it is

helping him sleep. He's always been a poor sleeper (borderline aspergers with

gut difficulties - GFCF and sleep probs and mild OCD).

I told her I was concerned about giving him too much iron, and she stopped it,

and he is not sleeping again.

We guessed that perhaps the vitamin B6 was helping his sleep, but replacing the

Floradix with a small B6 supplement hasn't helped.

Any ideas?? Ingredients are below.

Thanks.
