How to take Spatone

Spatone is ideally taken diluted in orange juice in the morning on an empty stomach or in between meals.
It is advisable to leave 30 - 45min between the consumption of iron supplements and drinking tea, coffee, red wine or eating certain foods.

Vitamin C (e.g. in a glass of orange juice) is well-recognised to improve the body's absorption of iron.
If you can’t tolerate orange juice try apple, mango, pineapple, or tomato juice – all rich in Vitamin C but low in tannins. Spatone can also be taken neat or diluted in water.

If you don't want to take Spatone first thing in the morning you can also take it at night before going to sleep.

During pregnancy you can safely take up to two sachets during your pregnancy to keep your iron levels topped up. Either take two sachets together or one in the morning and one in the evening - whatever suits your lifestyle best!
