CLINICAL ABSORPTION RULES
🍊Pair with 200mg Vitamin C

Non-heme iron (lentils, spinach) transforms from ferric to easily absorbed ferrous iron when paired with lemon or bell peppers.

2-Hour Tea / Coffee Window

Tannins bind to iron molecules, neutralizing up to 80% of absorption. Keep a strict 2-hour separation.

🥛Separate Dairy Calcium

Calcium competes for the exact same intestinal transport channel. Avoid yogurt or milk with iron supplements.
