Spatone Iron Supplement
Apple Taste with Vitamin C
Box of 28 Sachets,
28 Days Supply.
--------------------------
Each sachet of Spatone only contains 5mg of
elemental iron with an absorption rate of up to 40%.
One sachet of Spatone provides you with your RDA of iron - ideal to maintain
healthy iron levels. During pregnancy you can safely take up to two sachets a
day.
Why Choose Spatone?
Spatone is 100% natural. It is a naturally occurring iron-rich mineral water
which is collected and packed straight from the source in the heart of
Snowdonia, North Wales. They collect it, filter it for bacteria and fill it
into our convenient, easy-to-open sachets. At no stage do they add anything to
the water or convert the waters natural composition. That means with Spatone you
dont have to worry about other ingredients causing adverse reactions or
complications.
The iron in Spatone is highly absorbable
It is not actually how much iron we consume that matters but the amount of
iron that our body is able to absorb. It has been shown that the iron absorption
from Spatone is up to 40%. This is much higher than the iron absorption from
food sources (5 - 20%) or conventional iron supplements (3 - 10%). Spatone is
thus a highly effective source of iron which can be consumed to help prevent
iron deficiency.
How much Spatone can I take during pregnancy?
During the first trimester and post natal, one sachet can provide the average
extra absorbed iron requirement of 2mg/d. During the second and third trimesters
a mean iron absorption of 4 mg/d is required. This may be provided by taking two
sachets of Spatone which should help prevent the development of iron deficiency.
If pregnant or breastfeeding please consult your doctor or health care
professional before taking any food supplements or medicines.
Direction
If you don't want to take Spatone first thing in the morning you can also
take it at night before going to bed.
During pregnancy you can safely take up to two sachets a day to keep your
iron levels topped up.
Either take two sachets together or one in the morning and one in the evening
- whatever suits your lifestyle best!
Warning
You should carefully read all product packaging
and labels prior to use
Side Effects
The iron in Spatone is so easily absorbed, you
need only take small quantities to get your entire average Actual Daily Iron
Requirement. This is how you avoid the common side effects like constipation,
stomach irritation and headaches so often associated with taking iron. You see
it's not the iron you absorb which causes the side effects, it's the residual
amount you're trying to excrete that causes the problems.
