Herbalist Tips for Iron Absorption
- Pair your dose with Vitamin C foods to help iron absorption – include foods such as kiwifruit, citrus fruits, broccoli, tomatoes or bell peppers.
- Avoid coffee, caffeinated drinks and foods high in calcium such as dairy products for at least an hour before and after taking Iron Boost – these are iron inhibitors.
- Phytates in raw beans, seeds and grains as well as raw legumes such as chickpeas can also inhibit iron absorption – cook these ones before eating.
- Time your dose to combat that mid-afternoon energy low – it will satisfy the craving for something sweet but without the sugar.
- Monitor your iron levels closely if you’re following a vegan diet or getting all your iron from plants – it’s more difficult for your body to absorb iron solely from plant sources.
