Iron question

I have to start taking Iron and I remember reading that you should not take it with caffine,is this correct?Also when is the best time to take it? Sherry

Sherry, I think that you are supposed to take it alone with Vit C and not within 2 hours of calcium or any dairy products.  I take my iron with C as soon as I wake up and have nothing after, except a protein shake, for 2 hours.

Hi Sherry, i believe you are correct....in saying that caffiene should not be taking with iron also some foods do block the absorption of iron. i think it includes ...coffee, tea, egg yolks, milk, fiber and soy protein. try to avoid these when you are eating food high in iron and taking your iron pill Also take your iron pill with vitamin C for better absorption. hugss Lizzy

Hi Sherry, When is the best time to take your iron pill ? allow 2 hours to pass after eating the foods that i mention up above in my post AND 2 hours after you take your calcium supplement. hugss Lizzy
