How it works

Tea, coffee, calcium, whole grain phytates and certain medications significantly reduce iron absorption when consumed simultaneously.

Wait at least one hour after iron intake before drinking tea or coffee. Separate calcium supplements from iron by at least 2 hours.

Dietary changes

Consider speaking to a GP, dietitian, or naturopath before making significant changes to your diet, particularly if you have an existing health condition.
