in a nifty vitamin tip of the day?

There are tons of little things that many probably don't know, but could benefit from.

Like:

Many people know that vitamin C taken with iron will increase the absorption, but did you realize the ideal combination is 200mgs vite C to 30mgs of elemental iron?

So a 325mg ferrous sulfate tablet is 65mg of elemental iron.  Ideally, you would add about 400mgs of vitamin c with that iron dose to get the best absorption.

I'm interested too!!

I think there is a lot to learn about vitamins and minerals beyond the basics.

Definitely interested.  I particularly like it when you mention specific brands, because the timing of all the daily requirements is overwhelming (to me at least!)

Thanks,
Rhonda

I'd be happy to give you any pointers if you'd like.

It can be very overwhelming at first.. but it eventually becomes a habit.
