Spatone is a 100% natural, liquid iron supplement which is gentle, yet effective. It has been clinically proven to be a highly absorbable source of iron, avoiding the gastrointestinal side effects often associated with supplemental iron intake.
It is not actually how much iron we consume that matters, but the amount of iron that our body is able to absorb. Spatone has been scientifically shown to have a bioavailability of iron (the amount of iron available to be absorbed) average of 40%*. This is much higher than the iron absorption from food sources (5-15%).
Since the iron in Spatone is easily absorbed, you only need to take a small quantity to get your entire nutrient reference value (NRV) of absorbed iron. This is why Spatone leads to fewer of the side effects often associated with conventional iron food supplements such as constipation, stomach irritation or headaches.
It is ideally taken diluted in orange juice in the morning on an empty stomach or in between meals. Vitamin C is well recognised to increase the body's ability to absorb iron. If you can’t tolerate orange juice try apple, mango, pineapple or tomato juice; all rich in Vitamin C, but low in tannins.
Spatone is packaged in individual sachets - making it the most convenient liquid iron available to customers.
Quantity: 28 sachets
