Vitamin C with Iron
for Anaemia (Iron Deficiency)
Taking 100-200mg vitamin C with iron supplements or iron-rich meals significantly enhances non-haem iron absorption.
How it works
Vitamin C reduces ferric to ferrous iron and forms a chelate preventing inhibition by phytates, polyphenols and other inhibitors.
What to watch for
Take vitamin C at the same time as iron - not separately. Fresh fruit juice or a supplement both work.
