FAQ:

Is Spatone suitable for children?

Spatone is suitable for children over the age of 2, but please consult your health care practitioner before giving Spatone liquid iron to children.
Spatone® iron-rich water is from the source in Snowdonia, we don’t add anything to our Spatone® Original product. Spatone® product range is suitable for children over the age of 2, but we always recommend that your consult your health care practitioner before providing iron supplements to children.

Can I take Spatone on an empty stomach?

We recommend you take Spatone® iron-rich water on an empty stomach ie. first thing in the morning, 30 mins before breakfast.

You can also mix your Spatone® sachet with a cool drink of your choice. Juices high in Vitamin C can help with iron absorption.
Avoid drinking coffee, tea, wine or other drinks high in tannins within 30 – 45 minutes of taking Spatone® as this can inhibit iron absorption. The phosphates in fizzy drinks can also inhibit iron absorption, as can antacids, calcium, and phytates.

Can I add Spatone to other drinks?

You can add Spatone to any cold beverage of your choice. We recommend that you choose a drink high in Vitamin C, as it helps to increase iron absorption.

Please avoid mixing Spatone® with drinks such as coffee, tea, wine or other drinks high in tannins, as this can inhibit iron absorption. The phosphates in fizzy drinks can also inhibit iron absorption.

Why do some people find taking iron supplements upsets their stomach or gives them constipation?

As iron is a difficult mineral for the human body to absorb, iron supplements normally contain more iron than you need. The excess unabsorbed iron can irritate your stomach and cause constipation.

If you are concerned about any side effects, you should speak to your health care practitioner.

Spatone is different. It is a gentle solution with a low dose, highly absorbable form of iron giving you all the daily iron you need with little to no side effects.

Will Spatone stain my teeth?

Provided your teeth are cleaned regularly you shouldn’t need to worry about stains from Spatone liquid iron supplements.

It is possible that liquid iron supplements can stain teeth when consistently used. However, provided your teeth are cleaned regularly you shouldn’t need to worry about Spatone® liquid iron staining them. If you do feel like you have some staining, try brushing your teeth with a stain removing toothpaste to remove any residue or speak to your dentist. You can also reduce the chance of this happening by drinking your Spatone® sachet mixed in with a juice of your choice, one of our delicious smoothies or through a straw to minimise the contact between your teeth and the liquid iron.

Are the Spatone sachets recyclable?

Unfortunately our sachets are not currently recyclable, but without them we wouldn’t be able to put the product on the market. The unique composition of Spatone presents us with a number of challenges in terms of compatibility with packaging materials.

In order to meet the legislative requirements for placing such products on the market, we must ensure that it is packed in materials that keep the product fresh and within specification throughout its shelf life.

Spatone is naturally occurring and iron-rich, so as soon as it is exposed to the air (oxygen) it starts to oxidise. This is why we package Spatone in one daily sachet, so that it is always ‘fresh’ and provides a source of iron for your daily needs. To date, a recyclable and convenient to use sachet format does not exist that has this protection from air.

As a naturally inspired company, we are doing our best to reduce waste in Spatone packaging, as well as in our other products.
