About Ferrotone®
The History of Ferrotone®
Naturally Sourced from the Welsh Mountains.
2,000 Years Of History
Roman discovered liquid iron
Ferrotone® is an iron-rich water from the Trefriw Wells spa, located in the beautiful Snowdonia National Park in North Wales. For 200 years, millions of people around the world have been drinking this water to support a healthy lifestyle, but that’s not really where the story begins. In fact, people have been enjoying the properties of the spring for 2,000 years, starting with its discovery by the Roman legions who were mining sulphur in the area around 100-250 AD.
Extensively used by locals
After that, the information is vague, but what we do know is that the place was very popular with locals in the early 1700s, who preferred to bathe in this thermal water rather than drink it. In fact, by 1833, the demand was so high that the hot spring was officially converted into a bathhouse.
Victorian Pump Room
In 1873, the Victorian pump room and bath were built: water began to be sold for the first time.
Ferrotone® Liquid Iron bottles and supplied internationally
From 1875 to 1959, bottled water became so popular that it was sold in other countries such as Central Africa, Australia and the Americas, as well as throughout Europe.
Nelsons® became the new owner of Ferrotone®
In 2003, Nelsons® became the owner of Trefriw Wells and made the Ferrotone® food supplement available to people seeking health and wellbeing around the world.
A Legacy of Naturally Sourced Wellness
Iron is an essential element for blood production and supports many other bodily functions. As our bodies do not produce iron, we need to make sure we include sufficient iron as part of our healthy diets.
