Sea-Band, a British company providing health and wellness products, announced on May 17th the availability of Spatone Iron+, an all natural iron supplement providing 100 per cent of the average Actual Daily Iron Requirement, PR Newswire reported. The iron in Spatone is in "solution" (free ferrous ionic state Fe2+) so the iron does not have to be dissolved before it can be absorbed into the blood stream. Spatone is bio-available and only small quantities are needed to reach the daily allowance. Residual iron in the system is then less likely and will not cause the common side effects associated with manufactured iron supplements including: constipation, stomach irritation and headaches. "Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world," commented Leonard Nihan, President of Sea-Band International, the U.S. and Canadian Spatone distributor. "We are confident that Spatone Iron+ will assist many of the people who are intolerant of manufactured iron pills." Spatone can be taken safely both continuously and long term. Studies indicate that people with high iron stores will absorb little iron from Spatone and it is therefore a safe and effective iron supplement, providing iron for people who need it without causing iron overload in those with already adequate iron levels.
