-
Who cannot take iron supplements?
Certain individuals should avoid or use caution when taking iron supplements, including those with hemochromatosis (a condition causing excessive iron absorption) or other iron storage disorders. People with certain types of anemia, such as sideroblastic anemia, may also need to avoid iron supplements. Additionally, individuals with a history of iron overload or those taking certain medications may need to exercise caution with iron supplementation.
-
Can I take vitamin C and iron together?
Yes, you can take vitamin C and iron together, and it's often beneficial to do so. Vitamin C enhances iron absorption, particularly non-heme iron found in plant sources and supplements. Taking vitamin C alongside iron can significantly improve its absorption in the body, making it an effective combination for those looking to maximize the benefits of their iron supplementation.
-
What to avoid when taking iron supplements?
When taking iron supplements, it's advisable to avoid consuming foods or beverages that can interfere with iron absorption. These include calcium-rich foods, tea, coffee, and foods high in phytates (such as whole grains and legumes) around the time you take your iron supplement. It's also best to avoid taking iron with other mineral supplements, as they can compete for absorption.
