For two hundred years the iron-rich mineral water of Trefriw Wells Spa located in the heart of the Snowdonian mountains in North Wales have been bottled and used by people around the world as a natural iron supplement.

Today this special water is known as Spatone and is used daily by millions to help maintain healthy iron levels.

Spatone is a naturally occurring iron-rich mineral water which is collected and packed straight from the source in the heart of Snowdonia, North Wales. It is collected, filtered and filled straight into convenient, easy-to-open sachets. At no stage is anything added to the water or the water’s natural composition converted. That means with Spatone you don’t have to worry about other ingredients causing adverse reactions or complications.

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 maintain healthy iron levels.

Since the iron in Spatone is easily assimilated in the stomach, you only need to take a small quantity to get your entire recommended daily allowance (RDA) of iron. This is why Spatone does not result in the common side effects often associated withconventional iron supplements such as constipation, stomach irritation or headaches. Each sachet of Spatone only contains 5mg of elemental iron but with an absorption rate of up to 40% you will get all the iron your body needs without having to excrete too much iron - often the cause of the unpleasant side-effects experienced with iron supplementation.

Spatone is packed into convenient sachets which can either be taken as they are or added to fruit juice - making Spatone the most convenient liquid iron supplement available.

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.

Directions:

---

Spatone is best taken with fruit juice (not grape) since the Vitamin C in fruit juice will improve your body's absorption of iron.

The body's daily need for iron is about 2mg for women and 1-1.5mg for children and men.

However, the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for iron intake is approximately 14mg. This is because the RDA is based on the relatively poor iron absorption from foods (typically only 5-20% of the iron in foods is actually absorbed by your body).
