FAQs Answered by Pharmacists: Natural Iron-Rich Water Supplement for Gentle Iron Support

What makes Spatone different from regular iron tablets or capsules?

Spatone is a natural iron-rich water that comes directly from a mineral spring. Unlike traditional iron tablets, which may contain high doses of synthetic iron, Spatone delivers a gentle, lower dose of iron that's easily absorbed and less likely to cause stomach issues like constipation or nausea.

Why is Vitamin C recommended when taking Spatone?

Vitamin C helps your body absorb iron more effectively. Mixing Spatone with fruit juice (especially orange juice) is a good idea. It boosts iron uptake without needing higher doses that could irritate the stomach.

Can children and teenagers safely use Spatone?

Yes, Spatone is safe for children over 2 years old and teens. It can benefit children who need more iron but are sensitive to traditional supplements. Always follow the recommended dosage based on age and health needs.

Is Spatone safe to use during pregnancy?

Spatone can be used during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, when iron needs are higher. Up to two sachets per day are considered safe unless your doctor advises otherwise. It's a gentle option that's less likely to cause constipation, which is often linked with pregnancy iron supplements.

How do I know if I need an iron supplement like Spatone?

If you're often tired, pale, dizzy, or short of breath, these could be signs of low iron levels. However, it's important to talk to a doctor or pharmacist and get a blood test before starting any supplement, even one as gentle as Spatone.

Can I take Spatone with other vitamins or supplements?

Yes, but avoid taking it at the same time as calcium or dairy products, as these can block iron absorption. If you're taking other supplements or medications, speak with a pharmacist to ensure there are no interactions.

How should I store Spatone, especially if I carry it with me?

Keep the sachets in a cool, dry place below 25°C. They're portable and don't require refrigeration, making them easy to keep in a bag or pocket. Just avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or hot places like a car.
