Iron is an essential mineral for carrying oxygen around your body and maintaining good health. Spatone Iron is naturally in water, so it's easily and gently absorbed by your body. It should not cause certain side effects (stomach irritation and constipation) associated with high supplemental iron intakes.

Who needs extra iron?

Pregnant Women

With iron requirement doubling or even tripling during pregnancy, it is vital that mothers-to-be supplement their iron intake to keep up with the demand. Post pregnancy, an iron boost can help maintain energy and production of milk.

Teenagers

Growth spurts, poor dietary choices and higher activity levels mean that teenagers are at high risk of iron deficiency. Teenage girls need to pay particular attention, as their iron stores are depleted each month following menstruation.

Athletes & those exercising regularly.

In order to maximise oxygen delivery, which is crucial to achieving peak physical performance, the body needs iron. The iron needs of those exercising can consequently be 30% greater than those who don't, so it is vital that they consume the recommended amount.

Vegetarians & Vegans

Since the type of iron found in rwed meat is particularly well absorbed by the body, non-meat eaters have to be careful about their iron levels. Spatone is an ideal substitute for this group and is Vegetarian Sopciety approved.

60+

As we grow in age, our capacity to absorb iron diminishes. This, coupled with poor appetite can mean that iron levels aren't as high as they should be and need to be supplemented.

Everyone!

Iron is necessary for general well-being. It helps fight fatigue and keeps our energy levels up.
