It is essentially an aperitif in a herb flavoured, fortified wine base. Its producers recommend its as a blood tonic. Each 30 ml shot contains 5 mg of Iron [from Ammonium Iron (lll) Citrate] and when taken at any time of day, but preferably before a meal, will help maintain normal blood. Ferro China also makes a pleasant drink when mixed with mineral water.<\/p>\n<p>One member of the Bisleri family, Franco Bordoni-Bisleri (born 1913), was a famous Italian flying ace. The badge on the Ferro-China bottles was a lion so this was the image painted on most of his aircraft alongside the word\u00a0<i>\u201cRobur\u201d<\/i>\u00a0meaning\u00a0<i>\u201cstrength\u201d<\/i>\u00a0in Latin.
