SFI Health (formerly Flordis) is a specialist in clinically-trialled herbal medicines — and that focus is the whole point of the brand. Rather than selling a generic herb, each product is a specific, characterised extract that has been studied in its own right, often under a coded name. The range we stock includes some of the most-researched plant medicines available in Australia.

Why a "specific extract" matters more than the herb name

A herb is not a single, fixed thing. How it is grown, which part is used, and how it is extracted all change its chemistry — so two "valerian" or "St John's wort" products can behave quite differently. SFI Health builds its range around defined, reproducible extracts that carry their own research, identified by codes such as STW-5 (Iberogast), EA 575 (Prospan ivy leaf) and Ze 117 (Remotiv St John's wort). When you choose one of these, you are getting the exact preparation used in the published trials, which is the reason practitioners reach for them.

The hero products

Iberogast is a multi-herb liquid widely used for functional digestive complaints and IBS-type symptoms. Prospan is an ivy-leaf preparation for chesty coughs, available in adult and children's syrups and lozenges. The women's range — Femular and Femular Forte (black cohosh) and Premular (Vitex) — supports menopause and premenstrual symptoms. Redormin pairs valerian and hops for sleep, Remotiv uses a researched St John's wort extract for mood, and Keen Mind (a Bacopa extract) and Ginsana/Gincosan (ginseng and ginkgo) support cognition and energy. Legalon delivers a standardised milk-thistle silymarin, Ellura is a high-PAC cranberry for urinary support, and Equazen is a specific omega-3/6 blend popular for children's focus.

Who the range may suit

SFI Health suits people who want a herbal medicine with genuine clinical research behind the exact product — not just the herb in general — and practitioners who prescribe by evidence. Several products are everyday over-the-counter staples (Iberogast, Prospan), while others are best matched with professional advice.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy Flordis / SFI Health products online in Australia?
You can order the SFI Health (Flordis) range — Iberogast, Prospan, Femular, Redormin and more — here from Health Freek, a naturopath-owned Australian stockist.

What makes these different from a standard herbal supplement?
Each is a specific, characterised extract studied in clinical trials under its own code, so you receive the exact preparation the research was done on. With generic herbs, the extract — and therefore the effect — can vary considerably between brands.

Are there cautions with the women's and mood products?
Yes. Black cohosh (Femular) carries a label liver caution, and the St John's wort in Remotiv can interact with many medications including the contraceptive pill and antidepressants. Always read the label and check with your healthcare professional if you take medication or are pregnant.
