Would anyone be interested...
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.
