Advantages: Quickly absorbed, convenient, inexpensive

Disadvantages: None

As I have a very active lifestyle an iron supplement is absolutely indispensable for me - I find that I get anaemic very easily, and anaemia and an active lifestyle are absolutely incompatible.

I first tried Spatone when some sachets of it were given away free at the London Marathon expo. The marketing worked, because as soon as I tried it I knew it was a great product. It doesn't smell too appealing but when you put it in a glass of orange juice you can't tell it's there at all, and you certainly can't taste it. It is incredibly gentle on your stomach and I've certainly never had any digestive issues resulting from taking it.

In terms of how quickly it works - again I have to say it works fantastically well. I can normally tell when I'm getting a bit anaemic because I feel lethargic and tired and everything seems to require a bit more effort than usual - within two days of taking Spatone I'm back to normal again. Taking it with orange juice makes it very easy to incorporate as a regular supplement and it's available in most pharmacies and large supermarkets too. It's not expensive considering how well it works and I would definitely recommend it over iron tablets, which are well known for causing digestive problems. An excellent product.

Summary: An excellent quality iron supplement
