Spatone: A Great Iron Supplement

As those of you who've been reading my posts lately know, I've been recovering from an op and feeling a little down. Plus I've had no energy whatsoever.

Someone clever (Son's Girlfriend) suggested  that I may be a little anaemic. Stupidly this hadn't even occurred to me. It's almost as if I'd not spent much of my teenage years being anaemic. Then later, both times when I was pregnant, I spent long spells on iron supplements. Doh!

Then I remembered the side effect of taking iron. (I'll whisper it: constipation). Just what I needed when I already had more fat and ugly days than thin and beautiful ones. But to my rescue came The Englishman (bless him). He found this product when  shopping at Waitrose.

When I opened the first Spatone packet I must admit I thought, 'We've been had.' The contents looked just like London tap water. But when I tasted it, I could tell there was iron in the product. A lot of it. To drown the tangy taste I followed the recommendation on the packet and mixed the water with juice.

Spatone with cranberry juice is quite drinkable, if you like cranberry that is.

And ladies, the reason for this post: the product has made a real difference to me. After a week taking the iron supplement in this form, I feel so much more energetic. I don't constantly crave rare steak or liver. And, more crucially, it's had no adverse effect on my body.

Hurrah!

Spatone costs £7.49 for 28 sachets. For those living in the UK, Spatone is included in the 3 for 2 vitamin supplement offer at Boots.
