Ferrotone® FAQs
Our Ferrotone® product range provides naturally sourced iron-rich water from Snowdonia, Wales. Each sachet provides 5 mg of iron. Iron helps release natural energy and maintain a healthy immune system.
Ferrotone® is naturally sourced iron-rich water from our spring in Snowdonia, Wales. Each sachet contains 5 mg of iron with a bioavailability of approximately 40%. This means that a single sachet of Ferrotone® contains enough iron to meet your daily needs.
Not everyone needs to take an iron supplement, but low iron levels are common, and not everyone is aware that their diet may be deficient in iron.
Iron is a vital mineral for the body, but we don't produce it naturally, so it must be ingested. Many people believe that their diet provides them with what they need, but this is not always the case. The first symptoms of an iron deficiency can be fatigue, tiredness, and lack of energy. Using an iron supplement can help you meet your daily iron needs. Iron plays an important role in the body's functioning.
It contributes to
- supporting your energy-yielding metabolism*
- helping maintain a healthy immune system**
- normal hemoglobin and red blood cell formation
- normal oxygen transport in the body
- helping reduce tiredness and fatigue
*Iron contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
**Iron contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
Ferrotone® is gentler on the stomach and has a higher absorption rate than many conventional iron tablets, reducing digestive side effects. A daily sachet of Ferrotone® contains an average of 5 mg of iron (Fe2+), or 36% of the recommended daily intake.
Ferrotone® comes from the Snowdonia region of Wales, where iron-rich water is naturally filtered through the mountains.
Ferrotone® provides iron in a form that is easily absorbed, reducing the risk of side effects such as constipation or digestive upset, which are common with conventional iron supplements.
Improved energy and a reduction in symptoms related to iron deficiency can be felt after 3 to 4 weeks of regular use, but it may take several weeks for iron levels to increase.
Ferrotone® can be taken directly from the sachet or with a vitamin C-rich juice. We recommend taking one sachet in the morning on an empty stomach, ideally 30 minutes before breakfast.
It is best to wait 30 to 45 minutes between consuming iron supplements and tea, coffee, red wine, or food.

Avoid drinking coffee, tea, wine, or other drinks rich in tannins for 30 to 45 minutes after taking Ferrotone®, as these can inhibit iron absorption. The phosphates in carbonated beverages can also inhibit iron absorption, as can antacids, calcium, and phytates.

Please avoid mixing Ferrotone® with drinks such as coffee, tea, wine, or other drinks rich in tannins, as this can inhibit iron absorption. Phosphates in carbonated drinks can also inhibit iron absorption.

It's possible that liquid iron supplements can stain teeth when used regularly. However, if your teeth are cleaned regularly, you shouldn't have to worry about Ferrotone® staining them.
If you feel you have stains, try brushing your teeth with a stain-resistant toothpaste to remove any residue or talk to your dentist. You can also reduce this risk by drinking your Ferrotone® sachet mixed with a fruit juice of your choice, one of our delicious smoothies, or through a straw to minimize contact between your teeth and the liquid iron.
Take the next sachet as usual. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose.
If you are taking medication or have a pre-existing condition, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking dietary supplements.
Many multivitamin products contain iron, so you should check the label before using the product.

Ferrotone® is generally well tolerated and causes little constipation or nausea. However, some sensitive individuals may experience mild digestive discomfort.
Because iron is a mineral that is difficult for the human body to absorb, iron supplements generally contain more iron than needed. Excess unabsorbed iron can irritate your stomach and cause constipation.
If you are concerned about any side effects, you should talk to your healthcare professional.
Ferrotone® is different. It is a gentle solution containing a low-dose, highly absorbable form of iron that provides all the daily iron you need with few or no side effects.
Iron contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
You can support the health of your immune system by eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals. Using a dietary supplement can also help increase your iron levels if your diet doesn't provide what you need.
Ferrotone® dietary supplements are water-based, naturally rich in iron, easily absorbed, and gentle on the stomach.
Immunity is defined as your body's ability to defend itself against external pathogens (viruses, bacteria, etc.). It's important to maintain a healthy immune system to avoid getting sick.
You can support your immune system by choosing healthier foods that provide you with a range of vitamins and nutrients, exercising, getting enough sleep, and staying hydrated.
Diet is very important for maintaining a strong immune system. Choose foods rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. Try colorful fruits and vegetables like oranges, berries, carrots, and spinach.
Make sure you exercise daily and get 8 hours of sleep a day.
Dietary supplements can help give you a little boost to maintain a normal physiological state, but always look for the most natural and least harmful supplements.
Ferrotone® Apple has a delicious taste and contains vitamin C, which promotes iron absorption, making Ferrotone® perfect for on-the-go use.
This can help you stay healthy, as both iron and vitamin C contribute to the normal function of the immune system and normal energy-yielding metabolism.
Ferrotone® Original is also available, containing the same iron-rich water without any additional ingredients.
Store Ferrotone® in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. Keep the sachets sealed until ready to use.
European and French sorting guidelines do not apply to plastic/metal packaging (sticks, medication blister packs, etc.), so our sachets are not currently recyclable, but without them, we would not be able to bring the product to market. The unique composition of Ferrotone® presents us with several challenges in terms of compatibility with packaging materials.
To meet the legislative requirements for placing such products on the market, we must ensure that they are packaged in materials that maintain their freshness and conform to specifications throughout their shelf life.
Ferrotone® water is naturally rich in iron. As soon as it is exposed to air (oxygen), it begins to oxidize. This is why we package Ferrotone® in a single-dose sachet, so that it is always "fresh" and provides a source of iron for your daily needs. Currently, there is no convenient, recyclable pouch format that offers this airtight seal.
As a naturally inspired company, we do our best to reduce waste in Ferrotone® packaging, as well as in our other products.
