A study reports that pregnant women are at risk for high blood pressure and low birth weight babies if taking standard ferrous sulphate iron tablets daily. Clinical trials show that a naturally occurring iron supplement is a bio-available, low dosage source for iron. It may hold the answer to iron deficiency in expecting mothers.
Important research published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, found that women taking a 150 mg. ferrous sulphate tablet everyday throughout their pregnancy were more likely to suffer from high blood pressure and deliver small birth weight babies. Ferrous sulphate iron tablets are well-documented to cause gastric intestinal side effects and it is standard practice to prescribe such a supplement to pregnant women.
Some women are not aware that they may be low in iron and the severity can vary. Fatigue, irritability, weakness and memory loss are common, while dizziness, shortness of breath and palpitations can occur in more serious cases. Pregnant women are especially vulnerable as the need for iron increases as the baby develops.
Spatone is unique in its category due to the fact that it is clinically proven not to cause the common side effects of high dosage iron supplementation and is not potentially toxic as identified in manufactured iron supplements. Spatone was found to be a suitable alternative to the conventional ferrous sulphate tablet for the prevention of iron deficiency in pregnancy. It is a naturally occurring iron rich mineral water with nothing added or altered in any way.
