The current RDA for iron is 14mg (for adults) however this reflects the typically low rate of iron absorption from most dietary iron sources (estimated at 5-20%).
spatone has been clinically shown to deliver a far more absorbable form of iron than conventional iron supplements. That way you can take a lower, safer starting dose to top up your iron levels naturally whilst experiencing less of the unpleasant side effects.
Why should I take an iron supplement?
Low iron is one of the most common mineral deficiencies affecting women in their lifetime. If an iron deficiency is left untreated, it can lead to anemia. Symptoms of iron deficiency are similar to those of anemia and can be difficult to recognise.
- Feeling fatigued
- Brain drain and poor concentration
- Increased infections
- Decreased endurance and poor tolerance to exercise
- Dry, brittle hair and nails
Most at risk of iron deficiency:
- Pregnant women
- Menstruating women
- Vegetarians
- Teenagers
- The elderly
Are all iron supplements the same?
Definitely not. Traditional iron supplements like ferrous sulphate have low rates of absorption so you need to take high doses to restore your iron levels to normal. Spatone delivers a much more bioavailable and absorbable form of iron, so you can take lower, safer starting dose yet still effectively maintain your healthy iron levels.
Why is Spatone less likely to cause constipation?
The answer is simple.
Because Spatone is easily absorbed into the body, you only need to take small amounts to get your recommended daily intake of iron.
Spatone leaves very little unabsorbed iron in the bowel for excretion and therefore minimizes common side effects like constipation and nausea. However remember due to it's higher absorption rates, still delivers your iron!
Why should I consider Spatone if I am pregnant?
Postnatal women often continue to experience reduced iron levels and fatigue caused by blood loss during birth and milk production.

How much iron does the human body need?
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.
